Native Instruments Alicia´s Keys

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!"
