We included a variety of velocity curves optimized specifically for the most popular keyboard and controllers.” According to Spectrasonics, “The highly dynamic and expressive instruments in Keyscape have been recorded with incredible depth, so it is important to set Keyscape to respond properly to your keyboard controller. There are plenty of functional details that make it great to work with.įor instance, one of the best features of Keyscape for me was its velocity curves, which you may be familiar with already if you own Spectrasonics’ Omnisphere 2 or Trilian. It’s not just the rich sample library here that gives Keyscape its value though. I wish I could go into detail about every instrument in Keyscape, but in the interest of time, I can say that there wan’t a single one that left me disappointed. The sounds of the Weltmeister Basset 1 and 2 are jaw-dropping, and the LA Custom C7 Grand Piano is now my go-to instrument for writing sessions-as well as a great substitute for a real grand piano when I don’t have the time or budget to record one. The low end on this particular patch is astounding, and added a much needed color for my production toolkit. Spectrasonics’ take on the Rhodes Piano Bass (an instrument I didn’t even know existed) was a fantastic addition that had me pleasantly surprised. Discovering new instruments and textures this way is a common occurrence while using Keyscape. The “Duo” patches they created turned out to be a phenomenal resource of inspiration and, if you’re an Omnisphere 2 user, you can easily create your own by layering any two models together. There’s some really clever programming going on in these patches, and I was amazed by the level of Spectrasonics’ attention to detail in tiny sonic features, such as the sustain pedal triggering the quiet sound of a player putting their foot on the pedal of an actual piano.
I was happy to finally find a software Clavinet that doesn’t sound like obnoxious duck quacking. I found the Rhodes and Wurlitzer patches here to all be incredibly authentic sounding and sonically inspiring, with some very unique character and flourishes.
