It amazes me how people underestimate her musicianship skills. This woman is truly gifted and talented.
Pop...R&B really. There's small things she does that shows she's classically trained that goes unnoticed when just listening. "That's How Strong My Love Is" changes time signature during the chorus.
Appreciate Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (google it)? It is a good exclusive product for learning how to play the piano easily minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my GF at last got cool success with it.
this woman is beautiful, and this library is terible. check roland v-piano, or ivory yamaha piano, ot nord stage piano. but this? lol NImis good only in sw, not in samples. everybody knows
Who said she was underestimated? Literally no one lol
AlSween That song is amazing
If only it came with Alicia as well.
+soacker25
Wtf ?
😂
😂💯
lol ikr! 😭🥺😂😢
I could listen to her explain anything for hours
Me too and she's hot.
I would fall asleep eventually
Still one of my favorite piano plugins for my live performances.
Why are there haters on here? I have this plugin, and it's amazing. I am glad they produced it with Alicia. It's absolutely brilliant.
I've been in love with this VST ever since it came out - a few years ago it was on sale, and I found out in the middle of the night... I got up from bed and bought it immediately. I haven't regretted it! I also own the Pianoteq VST plugin, which is far more versatile - but if what you want and what you need is a DARK piano sound - caramel flavored piano sound - then Alicia's Keys is superb! The VST is easy to use - Danish sampler and engineer Morten Skarbye really did a fantastic job here.
And for the people who thinks that this is "just another Yamaha C3 Neo" - no it's not. It's not mentioned in this video, but Alicia Keys' grand piano is CUSTOM made. This adds a unique flavor in sound and feel, and it means that there is no C3 Neo which quite sound like hers.
I highly recommend this VSTi, especially if you once in a while need a dark and all-over-the-place piano sound; it's ok for certain pieces of classical music, but it really shines in RnB and as a "sad piano" sound for hip hop beats. But that's just my opinion :)
Being a piano player myself , I love the sound of this software. I love the way she fragmented the opening intro of Debussy's Arabeque # 1.
Still one of my favorite sampled pianos. You guys did a great job.
Lmao
at least You guys could have mic'ed up the interview for Alicia! FOR GOD SAKE YOUR AN AUDIO company! LOL.
She is my favorite musician ever, she plays wonderfully, sings wonderfully, writes wonderful music, and now she has even helped to make software so that anyone at home can make music like she can without being a piano prodigy and having to buy a really expensive instument. My digital piano sucks, I'm waiting for a cable and cheap external USB amp to start making better sounding recordings, but it doesnt sound anything like this.
She is so pretty omg! My favorite Alicia is her when she is on the piano. Ugh she has enough talent to give out to all the other artists
She's so down to Earth it's hypnotic! Love it! =D
who could even hate this vid? Its amazing and creative. Nice to see people follow their passions. Dislike vid people are just unhappy and grumpy, and need a life. Very nice piano!
She's playing Debussy. He was an amazing composer.
I love Debussy. Make sure you finish on the Bach; never finish on Debussy
Which opus of Debussy?

All these years and I finally get to utilize this amazing tool!!! Thanks Alicia Keys and NI 🥰😎💯👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
I appreciate that a real pianist had a true contribution to a workstation! Wish I could afford it!
She's a gifted pianist! She can sing her heart out! She knows how to emote when she sings and plays the piano!
@logicg I didn't see anywhere to download the Demo!
Cant wait to get that !! AK is so chilled out - great inspiration from just her words.
I can't imagine any major artist like Alicia Keys who would introduce the product so well! She is 100% passionate about this
thank you for upload
I have this piece of software and i have to say it really gets my creative juices going. It sounds soooo amazing.
This is really cool! Thanks Alicia & NI!
"so many love , talk to you soon" , her face when she said that at the end, damn .. unique
Alicia is an AMAZING all the way around! This VST is old but GOLD! =)
The software is a program called Alicia's Key's that can be used if you have Native Instruments' Komplete 4 or 5. Komplete 4 and 5 are amazing look it up.
Her Piano and I concert that she recently just did proved thatshe is a great singer and pianist! It's amazing!
Oh my God she's so beautiful! And the way that she's playing on the piano is so good!
@BWclara2005 It's a VST/AU plugin to be able to play the piano from your computer.
A ray of sunshine...
Nice artist,lovely video,amazing piano software..
Great Sound!!
Purchased!!
That's awesome! More artists should create their own instrument-style which sticks with them wherever they go and play. Keeping up with technology!
I have a Casio ctk 720 keyboard that I really like & can't wait to play it successfully & feel that excitement as I'm playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you Alicia keys keep doing your thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
why I am smiling while she is talking..
Because she's lying!
Because nobody in there right mind would use a plugin that cost 115 dolors over a piano that cost around 100 thousand dolors! Theres just no comparison in sound quality!
فاصل ثم نعود yep i'm the idiot here?
this is amazing! good job:D

good job Alicia and NI
Alicia, You are truly one of the great talents with songs so beautiful you can tell they are sung from your soul. A complete class act and a hard one to follow. Thanks for sharing your talent with the workd to enjoy.
I've been working hard to play "Love is Like the Sea." Such a beautiful piano sound in that song.
Truth
You are so beautiful and so talented. I heart Alicia Keys.
i bought alicia keys tickets the other day, gonna be an incredible concert!
Lol
WOW, She is soo amazing!
I love her, (and her shoes!)
La meilleure pianiste du XXIème siècle !!!!
Yeah Much luv Big Fan Alicia!
I'm in love with her down to earth Beautiful voice!
I think she's speaking in the same key as Michael Jackson used to speak in.
can these samples be used with the reason program?
if not, can they be converted to adapt to reason?
enchanter............................
The key board she was talking about is probably the Yamaha MOTIF. Amazing keyboard. I'm trying to save for it.
HOLY GORGEOUSNESS
@mannyac82 Well, the song is "Like the Sea" on her recent album "The Element of Freedom" but the melody you hear is taken from a famous classical piece called Deux Arabesque by Debussy.
awesome! I love Alicia, she is so my type.
Whoever said to not put her in front of a camera to speak is out of their mind. Alicia is very articulate and very intelligent. She can talk about anything and is always so kind and polite. Why would you say that about her? Anyway this is suppose to be about the new piano software, not the way she speaks. BTW, she does have a deep voice that is very beautiful and she definitely does not sound like a man. The piano sounds great and I hope it's a huge success for her.
everything you just said is exactly true. thank you.
wow alicia keys so awsome this soft ware is so cool and i am so glade you thought of that. you realy love music to realize you need it everywhere. God bless sista, thank God for this soft ware.
more love and blessing
respect love this upload
Can't Wait Till I GET ENOUGH money to buy this A,Keys Urr The Bestt Keep On Doin urr thangggg I Hope that one day i might meet you xxx
@allot77: yr right, Akoustik is a great sounding library. Have you played any of the Concert grand libraries? The NY is amazing.
EW/QL Bosendorfer 290 set is another good one for those unable to bring a piano to gigs. ;-)
Maravilhosaaa
Piano maravilhoso!
You can download the kontakt 5 player for free from the NI website and the Alicia Keys piano will play fine.
can i buy this piano only? and play it on main stage or logic pro? and add it to the library? or i have to buy the kontakt 5 player? do i need to purchase more stuff to play this piano?
I'm in love
great, but where can i see the vst in action?
Just came here to see Alicia .
Thanks Alicia, you're a good saleswoman :D Instant buy
wow sis u just dont stop
I know that a lot of people say "It sounds too muddy.." or "It doesn't sound like a real piano..." but as a musician who creates instrumental songs as well as songs with lyrics I find that sometimes you have to find the right sounding piano to make the song work. So yes this may not be good for the feel of what some are going for but, if you're making orchestral/instrumental music or want a piano that sounds different even in a subtle way then one more piano to choose from can't hurt right?
I have Addictive Keys and TruePianos. Sometimes Addictive Keys sounds great for what I may be working on at the time, but other times TruePiano brings the feel that I need to the composition whereas Addictive Keys just doesn't make it feel right in my heart.
+Guvna Goeby - I totally agree. I've been dying to get my hands on TruePiano, but since I already own Pianoteq and now also Alicia's Keys, I feel that I'm fine with the piano sounds for now (I also have some extra piano vsti's, but I almost never use them). Yeah - Alicia's Keys are kind of all over the place, so in a heavily clustered mix, you'd probably need to give it less presence by equalizing the shit out of it - but if the piano is in center, and what you need is that dark chocolate caramel sound, then hell yes - Alicia's Keys has no equal. And yeah, I've spent quite some time manipulating the parameters of Pianoteq to sound like that. Mostly, I end up getting a sound that's "almost there, but not quite". I can make it dark and vibrant at the same time, but it has a "plonk" sounding feel to it that Alicia's Keys don't. Also, the timbrance and the sound of "something extraordinary" is kind of lost when I try to make Pianoteq sound dark.
@MrBebopxx I dont know if what you are hearing is a tuning problem as much as it is the overwhelming room sound your hearing because on this demo her piano is not close mic'd its just bleeding thru the mic used to pick up her talking.
Beautiful Alicia
Alicia Is Blessed!! Love her, she is inspiration, She is Tha Best, The SUperwoman!! Tha best singerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
@logicg Cool...I was just making sure :)! I"m getting it!
i agree this has a unique and nice sound to it; not sure if i would invest in one unelss i was a performer cause i'd say it would do her good since she's in the music industry....and when ur going on tour, i believe this "virtual" piano is adjustable according to space and the preferred sound- it's like it has the advantages of a keyboard but in the appearance of a grand
@furyofthestorm well it is in a sense if this video was about selling this actual piano... however this is a softsynth.. so lets actually SEE the product they are selling other than 2 seconds at 3:56
Amen.
Maybe there are special tricks like velocity-sensitive key-release samples and synthesized string resonances happening in this library that you wouldn't be able to easily script inside Ableton Sampler...
but we wouldn't know about them from this video
I always loved alicia!!!
Kant wait til the concert beautiful...
My Idol
Yep
i love you aicia!! i play piano thanks to u!! i want that piano!!! lol it sounds great i agree... ill see you on your performing in barcelona!! i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
