Product Description
There’s a certain magic about the resonance and immersion of an open-lid concert grand piano; about the action and vibe of a vintage electric keyboard. Waves’ precision sampling technology reawakens the classic textures and tones of the legendary instruments that have defined rock, pop, funk, soul, and R&B, putting them directly at your fingertips.
The pianos and keys in this collection capture every articulation, hammer-hitting tone and string-striking mechanic of the highly-coveted originals. Whether you’re a professional keyboard player, a songwriter or a producer playing in the studio or live on stage, you will enjoy the true feel, expression and rich dynamic response of these authentic instruments.
