Together with Danish sample specialist Thomas Skarbee and impulse
response expert Ernest Cholakis, Alicia Keys has created a virtual
piano that meets her professional standards and embodies the soulful
sound that has become her trademark as a superstar. This is the piano
sound that has helped Miss Keys win multiple Grammys and reach the
top of the charts. ALICIA'S KEYS was sampled from her own playing,
recorded in the artist's own studio under the supervision of her
trusted engineer, Ann Mincieli.

The instrument samples come from Alicia Keys' very own Yamaha??
C3 Neo grand piano. This unique and highly-sought after instrument was
built to celebrate Yamaha's 100th anniversary in 2002 and represents
the very top of the Conservatory Collection line. The exquisite and
unique sound of the C3 Neo were painstakingly captured by Thomas Skarbye,
Kontakt script wizard Nils Liberg, and Grammy-award winning engineer Ann
Mincieli - making this exclusive instrument available to everyone. Using
vintage microphones and preamps and through detailed analysis of Alicia's
playing, the team succeeded in capturing the warm, soulful and inspiring
sound of the C3 Neo all the way down to the finest nuances.

Alicia herself says:

I feel confident that we came up with the best virtual piano you've ever
heard and I am excited to introduce it to you! Ann, Thomas and Nils are
a brilliant team!
