A Richly Sampled Classic American Concert Grand
True Keys American is a top - rated part of the True Keys virtual concert grands suite. With nearly 14,000 audio files recorded using multiple high - end mics and preamps, you can easily access the timeless sound of this piano.
Advanced scripting and specialized sampling precisely replicate the acoustic piano's mechanical details, including key resonances and noises.
This American grand is purely sample - based. Its user - friendly interface gives you full control over aspects like release trails and pedal noise. Three individual mics, a custom mix, and additional controls offer great flexibility for achieving the perfect sound. Thanks to the UVI Workstation sample player, it has fast loading times and low resource usage, making it a powerful yet easy - to - use virtual piano.
A Virtual Studio at Your Fingertips
Grand pianos are large and hard to record well. A specific mic in one area of the piano may work for a jazz mix but not for a Romantic classical solo. A real piano in the studio offers many mic and placement options for the perfect sound.
True Keys provides three fully mixable mic setups and a 'best of' mix of all mics as separate samples. Each mic setup is chosen for its versatility and character to fit any playing style. The Close mics have a punchy modern sound with a wide stereo image and deep bass. The Player gives the pianist's perspective with more distance and strong hammer attack. The Side is a stereo ribbon with a warmer tone and full even response. The Mix position combines all mics for a quick, less processor - intensive option.
