Product Overview

Alicia’s Keys is a characterful concert grand built from Alicia Keys’ own Yamaha C3 Neo. The sampling and scripting focus on translating her instrument’s response—attack, resonance, and pedal behavior—into an expressive, playable piano for modern production.

Details

The engine combines 12 velocity layers with modeled sympathetic resonance and separate controls for pedal, key, and room detail. A streamlined Performance view lets you balance tone and dynamics quickly, while deeper tabs expose fine adjustments for authenticity versus polish. The result sits naturally in pop, R&B, and film contexts where a recognizable, modern grand is needed.
