e-instruments Session Keys Electric W

Session Keys Electric W combines authentic sound, flexible operation, and unique controls to make it feel like you’re playing the real thing, producing sounds you wouldn’t imagine were created electronically.

A faithful reproduction of a musical time machine
To replicate this hit-making electric piano, e-instruments turned every stone for a suitable original, which underwent further specialist restoration to bring it painstakingly back to peak condition.

It was recorded in two different ways, to create two separate sound sets: 
Studio represents the direct unaltered line-out sound, and Live, which reproduces the sound of the speakers through an expertly positioned microphone setup. 

The faithful recording creates all acoustic noises and resonances together with the pure acoustic sound, giving the user the option to blend acoustic and electric sound.

Features: 

• 1974 electronic Piano

• Pentamorph control to transform the entire sound with a single knob 
• Animator with more than 440 flexible piano phrases 
• Smart Chord function to create instant piano chords from single keys or pads 
• Effects chain with tremelo / AutoPan, chorus, phaser, amp simulator, compressor and convolution reverb
