A modern classic, the XLN Audio Addictive Keys Modern Upright is based on the Yamaha U3 upright piano. Many pianists consider it a top - notch choice. It has distinct, blendable characteristics and offers 7 different recording perspectives. Sometimes a grand piano is too large, and that's when this smaller and more intimate upright piano shines. With a tight and defined tone along with an airy ambience, it fits well into almost any production. The included presets cover a wide range from smooth jazz with a mellow, warm tone to bright pop with an upfront sound. Recorded with great care in a large auditorium with high acoustical standards and a medium/long decay time, it gives you nearly limitless sound design options. You can tailor the piano's sound to your song's exact needs within the Addictive Keys engine. System requirements include MacOS 10.9 or later (32 & 64 - bit), Windows 7, 8, 10 (32 & 64 - bit), and an internet connection only during installation. Available in VST, AU, AAX (32 & 64 - bit) formats, it runs on any host supporting these plugins, with active testing on hosts like Ableton Live 9 & 10, Apple Logic Pro 9 & 10, etc.


Using the XLN Audio Addictive Keys Modern Upright is easy. First, make sure your system meets the requirements. You'll need MacOS 10.9 or later or Windows 7, 8, 10.
