_ [C] Welcome to Alicia's Keys, [Am] a new contact instrument created by Native [Bb] Instruments,
[Gb] SCARBEE, and [F] Alicia Keys herself.
With [C] 17 gigabyte of sample material, [D] fully sampled
pedal down [F] notes, and a sophisticated [Ab] all new [Db] sympathetic [Am] resonance system, [G] this software
raises the bar for sample pianos, whether hardware or software based.
[D] _
Alicia's Keys
[E] faithfully captures the sound of [Eb] Alicia's custom Yamaha [A] C3 Neo, one [F] of the only three
in the world.
_ [G] This rare and [Ab] dynamic piano was sampled using the finest vintage gear
in Alicia's personal recording studio, under the supervision of her engineer, Ann Mincelli.
[Db] Through months of meticulous work, the characteristic sound of Alicia's soulful piano has been [Ebm] achieved
with startling realism. _

_ _ [Ab] _ _ One feature that sets [Cm] Alicia's Keys apart from other sample pianos
is that the pedal down notes have been fully sampled, giving players the rich harmonic
spectrum created by the piano's natural body resonance.

_ [Ab] Even more complicated was to achieve
this level of rich sympathetic resonance in the undampened [F] strings.
Thanks to the sampling
and scripting expertise of [Eb] Thomas SCARBEE, this can be done at an [Ab] unprecedented level
of quality. _

_ [G] _ [Eb] [Ab] The internal convolution reverb is equipped with a set of impulse responses
by Ernest Trelakis, [Db] capturing three different room types in different sizes.
With such a
high quality [Ebm] reverb built in, you'll hardly want anything else on your piano tracks.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Sampling
the piano [D] in Alicia's personal [Fm] studio meant using some of the finest vintage studio [Ab] gear
around.
Of course, vintage gear isn't always known for [Db] being completely silent or pristine,
_ and Alicia's [Bbm] Keys lets you dial in just the amount of this extra noise that you [Gb] desire.
[G] With so many options, it's easy [D] to create a piano sound just right for [Bb] your music.
