Introducing Keyscape
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 вер 2016
- KEYSCAPE™ is an extraordinary new virtual instrument featuring the largest selection of collector keyboards in the world. Ten years in the making, each of these rare, sought-after keyboards were carefully restored and then deeply multisampled by the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development Team. These compelling and highly expressive sounds will inspire you to PLAY!

I don't think anyone could overstate the importance of this project historically. It's not just a "product", it's a legacy. It's a living and universally accessible museum. I know that sounds corny, but how else is the character of these instruments going to survive history without the ability for people to feel what it is like to play them - or at least come as close as humanly possible. Just incredible. Musicians the world over should be grateful for this important work.
Beautifully written.
i agree with you this is a piece if history at
your fingertips
A MoMA of keyboard sounds ! What a beautiful work ....would have loved to have been a part of it...
for me it's as much the fact that they restored the actual instruments then modelled them
Not only that, you can now play these old instruments as never before with the quick expression from modern midi-keyboards, outplaying the old mecanics..😀
When Cory Henry says it's the best piano sound he's heard come out of a computer and Herbie Hancock looks at you and say, "Congratulations." You know you've done something right.
this inspires me to buy it just to make shitty 4 bar chord loops in A minor and throw it over some dilla drums.
lofi hip hop beats to study / relax to
struggle is real
Go all crazy doing whatever like Animal Collective! Break musical boundaries!
Haha sooo true! XD
felt this
Now just got to learn to play the keyboard.
I get jealous, inspired, and discouraged all at the same time when I watch and listen to great piano players.
Yiruma - River Flows in You Easy Version (look for a synthesia tutorial). As soon as you managed that play the original version. It's not really difficult. This is how I started and now I am almost able to play Lucas Kings Last Leaf Falls Original after not even a year of playing the piano. ^^
"just"
This is also more so for producers, as its a vst, you don't need to 'learn' to play the piano. Just play notes and record it.
AN OUTLAW INLAW lmao same
Time to eat instant noodle for a month. I'm buying this.
TD lolllll
@Richard Floyd @Richard Floyd He's from Indonesia I believe. The monthly salary there is generally lower than 400$ US.
When you play that keyscape,that instant ramen will taste like filet mignon,lol.
@@philtrem Yeah, Min wage in Jakarta, which is the highest in the country, is only $330 lol
Lolll i love u bro
I bought Keyscape this summer and it was the most indoor summer in my life. No joke.
Lol
Where are the beats?
What about this summer?
i mean, you buy keyscape and directly go to quarentine, no need for covid-19

What master keyboard controller are they all playing on? Don’t recognize it.
@Warren Roberts it's Tea for two by Art Tatum
i can't believe i just watched 30 min of a product placement video, and it could had been an hour... this is amazing!!! DAMN!!
Did anyone else maintain a LARGE smile for the duration of the video? This is amazing!
Nutshell2K I just stopped smiling. Freaking great!
Yeah.. i clicked because I’m only interested what piano sounds like lol 😂 and stayed till end.
HOLY SHIT! 77GB Library for 399$ and this amount of sampled pianos...GET REKT KONTAKT5!
Joel Habekost spectrasonics is going to go out of business because once everyone owns omnisphere RMX and keyscape they DON'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE
Joel Habekost until they reveal another project they had in works for ages and everybody will go mental again.
THIS IS HOW YOU DEMO AN INSTRUMENT! Thanks guys. Well done.
FACTS!!!!
Guy in the yellow hat has it in the veins.. super cool
HAHA !! you saved Herbie for the end ! very surprising :)
*****
YES !
Just search on UA-cam for Cory Henry, songs like NaNaNa etc. He's a beast
Corey Henry, one of the top-of-the-line jazz pianists of this era of the art :)
pccalcio No, he has it in the hat!
it's not just a virtual instrument, it's a travel through the time, through world's biggest hits, through musical history. Yes, it's expensive, but it deserves this price.
Bought it ! Right after installation I started going through the patches and I wasn't aware that the next minute was to come after 3 hours of playing and this is where I had to stop and head right to this box.
The samples and the level of programing are top notch but I haven't seen a software instrument coming that close to the dynamic range of the real instrument it aims to recreate.
That made me sometimes forget I was playing a software instrument and I can understand these reactions coming from the musicians on this video. This is not just a work of elaborate research, it is real instrument made by musicians who understand what musicians want. An instrument that makes them forget about everything unmusical and takes them right to creating ideas without much fuss and that's what the whole is all about.
One thing that could be tackled in future upgrades is taking the pedal noise out of the reverb chain as it overpowers the sound on extreme settings.
All said, this is a benchmark in digital creation of electromechanical instruments and the only thing missing on that thing is the smell of old wood, rugs and old furniture.
Thank You Spectrasonics !
Hisham Niaz As Arthur C Clarke put it; “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. So true of this product.

Black dude with the orange cap is on another level.
Dats my boi Cory Henry
wait, his cap is orange? its yellow...
It bothers me just watching him play with those beads on his arm. But he's flawless.
About to say the same thing.. can watch him all day. The power of those beads! Lol 😂
Every little thing he does is magic.
Cory Henry: "This the best piano Ive ever heard"...drops mic
*from a computer
+easy easy ..of course..it cant counsel out the actual physical real acoustic yamaha piano that its modeling...but i do think he met best out of a computer and workstation..i think he said from a computer because obviously a real modeled acoustic would sound comparable...but this easily kills c any workstation
If you have 50 piano libraries it's never enough
Wonder how much they paid him to say that :P
paid?
Because i always come back and seem to wait for the Zac parts:
2:32 - 7:25 - 8:36 - 16:38 - 18:21 - 25:18
this could be EZ Skyrim OST I think
what is this song at 7:25 ????
amazing
@@monachome7978 They ain't songs, they were improvised
@@monachome7978 I wanted to know the same thing! Sounds amazing.
hell yes... thought I was the only one. They definitely brought him in to get some emotion in there.
no hate but im legit not even paying attention to the actual instrument advertised anymore lmao i just like to hear them all play they're all so talented im amazed rn
This made me want to buy my very own Cory Henry
@Maafa 1619 I don't think he meant it in that way (btw English is not my main language)
@@criburgir Don't worry, you said it perfectly.
@Maafa 1619 I think it's a joke based on the fact that no matter how much money you pay you're still not gonna learn to play the keys if you don't practice.
Though if you don't mind paying an extremely high price, I hear Yamaha has self-playing grand pianos with internet streaming included. It's not a speaker, it's an actual grand piano with pianists playing the keys (which move automatically on your end, hammers and all) via the internet. The ultimate luxury.
You're never gonna pull off recording something like Makrokosmos on those though. Though you can't on Keyscape either. Liking experimental music sucks sometimes.
Pause buddy...Pause

Ítalo Alves do you know the names of the songs he's playing?
what's the piece in 6:50?
@mr.danon
Its a variation of Tea Time for Two by Art Tatum
Never heard of this guy before this video. He's amazing!
What's the piece in 9:18
I could watch Cory Henry and Greg Phillinganes play for hours!
Years
That piano piece at 7:27 is hauntingly awesome.
This collection is outstanding work....
This makes me cry. Dedicated Musicians are some of the purest human beings on this planet.
I'm watching in awe.That's one of the best product videos i've ever seen.Probably because the product seems to be so on point but also the players.Man i would totally pay for a Cory Henry solo piano show.
12:30 is the song "Morning" by the great Al Jarreau
Probably my favourite piece here
I could've watched hours of this. aside from a solid product, this is the single greatest production piece I've ever watched. admittedly, however, I've not watched many long form advertisements for fun lol
The guys at Spectrasonics are genius with how they've put this ad for the library together. It plays out like a long music video - we're introduced to different personalities and playing styles, and each showcase of an instrument is interesting and fun to listen to. Watching the expressions on the players' faces makes you want to experience that yourself. I like watching this video to get some inspiration or purely as entertainment.
Best demo video in this universe. I love how Cory gets so excited he clips the Genelecs.
You know it’s good when you can feel the emotion behind the instrument. I know this is two years old at this point but it still amazes me how far we’ve come with virtual instruments.
5:50-7:26 My favorite part of this whole clip 🙌🏽 Cory is a wonder!
8:09 bucky playing keys, thats amazing
Sick!! The good kind of sick! The sick you throw when you're impressed kinda sick. Wonderful sounding pianos in particular. Great work!
At this point, is Cory Henry still considered human or....?
Shane Travis i dont think so. He is definitly out of this world.
I've been playing piano my entire life of 40+ years. When I hear Cory I realize I don't know how to play.
He’s been playing for like 28 years Cory that’s crazy
wait till you see Jesus Molina
The best piano and keyboard VST I've ever heard! Love it!
By the way, you guys were amazing on this video, this is what we want to see and listen before buy a product.
Now I have GREAT sound to put in my soundtracks. Thanks for making my job easier! hahaha
Love you guys!
Maafa 1619 ha, really? These pro says otherwise. What other nice/better piano VST would you recommend? Love to get one of this if not for my PC /hardware setup.

This video and all the artist playing their awe-inspiring music, showed me i need to sell my gaming computer and focus on my love. I've been trying to figure out why I'm here on this planet. This is it. Corey Henry, one day you and I will play together I Promise.
A friend of mine here in Quebec just bought this and he"s in Paradise with the quality of the sound ! Well done !
If you are on the fence about purchasing this one, I will tell you right now that this was one of the best purchases of anything I have ever made in my life. This piece of software is magnificent in so many ways. Many say that this is an expensive product, but for the value that you get out of this product I would argue that it is more than worth what you spend on it. Thank you Spectrasonics for all your hard work and for giving us this incredible piece of software!
Thank you so much! 🙂💙🙌
CORY HENRY CAN PLAY DAMN NEAR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ThunderBamBam he can play anything
lol no. He’s good sure but he’s not a heavy weight. Craig Taborn, Keith Jarrett, Jason Moran, Matt Mitchell. But they don’t play easy listening music so I guess that’s why no one outside jazz knows them
TehWinnerz - define “heavy weight”? Pretty sure Corey would smash any of those guys you just listed in gospel,funk, r@b, or neo soul. I have listened to everyone on that list so...yes In terms of jazz maybe he isn’t as straight on as those listed but he is with a question a “heavy hitter”. Jazz language isn’t thee only determining factor
@@tehwinnerz5006 Well, not playing avantgarde jazz (that 99,9% of all potential listeners would not choose to listen to) doesn't make your music automatically "easy listening" which is quite a condecending term. Cory henry comes from the church/ gospel background, he is just not an avantgarde guy and stays more or less inside musical traditions. His appeal is his pure joy of playing and his strong emotion, something I miss with guys like Jason Moran, Craig Taborn or Vijay Iyer and also Keith Jarrett.
7:27 is my favorite darkness sound love it!!!!
me too amazing
you know the song?
@@monachome7978 its on soundcloud!! Something with ballad, uploaded by spectrasonics and the artist is zac rae
@@monachome7978 i believe shimmer ballad
I was initially underwhelmed when I heard this was a keyboard collection, but wow...really sounds beautiful.
7:13 “This is the best piano I’ve ever heard”
*He then proceeds to show his work*
My favorite software in the entire world! Thank you Spectrasonics !
Zac Rae is such a great emotive player. Gregg KILLED 24 mins on that cry baby. Damn, the master
Very talented people playing the absolute most ASTOUNDING virtual instrument I've ever heard!
OMG. I just can't believe how amazing this is. Spectrasonics is really the truth. Every single product they drop is just simply word-class. The support is amazing too. The dedication, the passion, the love for music. This video got me in tears. I love you Spectrasonics.
Thank you for such a kind post!
This is still one of my favorite UA-cam videos. When I first saw this I didn't even know what a virtual instrument is, or who all the amazing artists are. Now I do, and I still come back quite often for more of that amazement I had when I first saw and heard Keyscape.
This is so much love, you guys must have the greatest job in the world!
Yep! :-)
The Rhodes-demo at 12:00 gave me instant goosebumps.. I can safely say I love the Rhodes-sound...
The beginning is from the song: Afte the love has gone - Earth Wind and Fire
Holy shit Greg Phillinganes is a treasure. That level of charisma and performing ability reminds me of when I saw BB King live.
When Herbie Hancock came on he brought a sound and feel different from anything im used too and was the only player to make me feel as if he was being programmed by an unknown force while enjoying the ride. I started laughing silly while my eyes were tearing up then I weirded myself out and thought “why am I laughing?” Then he stopped and just laughed the same way. Really opened my eyes and helped me understand to get out of my damn head when I make music and just flow and feel it. That was amazing and he is a true gift. They are all unbelievable talents and some might be better with chops but he really is childlike while he plays and reminds me how I felt when I first started. Learn to forget. If you pay attention to his face and body language he just reacts to the playing as if he’s watching a film and enjoying the journey and story. Wow. Great finale to this video. Masterpiece.
So true indeed!
I'm three years late reacting to your comment but this is what playing music is about. Well said!
That does sound really good especially the Rhodes and Wurlitzer 💦
I love Cory and terrace as well, so much sauce
i could seriously listen and watch these talented people all day
It's always a pleasure to watch Greg Phillinganes, but I was blown away by the sound at 14:05. It almost defies belief that it's coming out of a computer.
Spectrasonics are just the coolest I have to say. I can tell you guys are not just another VST company, but passionate musicians and engineers. The craftsmanship you put into your content is impressive.
*Throwing money at the screen*
The playing at 7 .27 is absolutely outstanding
i have the sheet music on my channel :) shimmer balad
Ah! *Clavinet C!!!* ❤
FINALLY, somebody has done this with THIS Clavinet model! I am beyond impressed. ✔
I just keep coming back to this demo, the talent is non-stop, the sounds are so authentic, irresistable.
I would LOVE to hear Ahmad Jamal on this!! And imagine if George Duke was still alive! MAN!!
George was a huge Spectrasonics fan and longtime customer...we miss him!
Wow, sign me up. The Model E Rhodes is worth the price of admission alone. What a beauty. When Greg Phillinganes started playing the Model E patch, I was immediately transported back to the first time I heard the 1983 release of the Jarreau record on which this gorgeous EP was used. Then he breaks into "Mornin' and I was sold right there. You guys nailed it!
I marvel every time I hear Corey Henry play. What an incredible talent. A real treat to hear him playing the wonderful recreation of the C7. Great sounding piano and a marvelous collection of some real classics.
Well done Eric and congratulations on another the release of another great product. Your products are like finely crafted Swiss watches meticulously constructed with the attention to detail ethic of old world master craftsmen.
I love these endorsements. Totally genuine. Complete amazement at the fruits of all that labor. Such an incredible, and important, piece of work. Really happy for Eric and the Spectrasonics team.
Watching Cory Henry at work gives me the same feeling as watching Guthrie Govan play guitar. A kind of ecstasy that there are people who can do this, blended with envy that I can't.
What happens from 12:20 is heavenly
Gaaame
Sure it is (Y) EWF song (after the love) followed by Mornin' Al Jearrea.
I can't recall the title of the song @13:50.. anybody, help me out please.. :)
I want this too!
Is this why you posted about Spectrasonic on your fb tho?
Al jarreau, Mornin' !
When Greg touched that 'E' Rhodes I got chills down my spine!!!! Eric, you guys are the best!!! I need this in my life. NEED!
I can honestly watch Cory play all day long! My heart sings with joy at the sounds he creates. Awesome job on this VST
Dude I play the drums, but watching a pianist still amazes me man.
Keyscape is the ultimate piano paradise! What an impressive work put into this application by Spectrasonics, the instrument restaurations & mods, the deep sampling.... I absolute love it, totally facinated
It's so awesome that you gave these artists the opportunity to showcase themselves, they are so talented. Super cool program I didn't know I needed this but I neeeeeeed it
I NEVER heard better sounds including all these great performers !!!
Gives me goosebumps. Crazy stuff from the perspective of a musician/software engineer. Just wow
FANTASTIC!
The tones makes me want to play again.
Take my money
Haha this shit is like producers paradise
You'll need quite a lot as Spectrasonics isn't exactly cheap.
Yup! Nothing cheap about what we do. :-)
I was expecting a $1000 price tag and am pleasantly surprised to see this ONLY at $400
$400 it's a steal... You can't even buy one of the instrument's that are in the library at this price... :))
Danggggggg! This collection is sick. The best I've ever heard. I was going to listen to about 5 minutes and end up listening to the whole demo. This is on my wish list but not for long. Great job!
That piece at 7:27 is absolutely gorgeous
The universe is now complete - Awesome work by the best in the business.. Surprised that there is not a discount for those of us that own all the spectrasonics software... That will not matter once it is installed... Leave the food by the door...
I've always wondered why there weren't any saxophone, trumpets, trombone basically wind instruments in omnisphere.
Maybe they are working on a string and horns library as well. Would be so awesome
Amazing plug-in! The Wing Tack Piano is my favourite. I even wished for more of those gems instead of the C7.
But in general it's an awesome collection of beautiful Keys and i could get lost for hours just to play with it some improvisations.
I wish I can play Keyscape in my lifetime. Just my budget and computer can't handle it. Everything sounds great and awesome! Love watching videos that has Keyscape on it. God bless you, Sir Eric Persing!
Love Spectrasonics and your dedication! Thank you!
Oh come on guys !!! I just promised I wouldn't get any more VST's !!! Sold, take my money now !!!!
Spectrasonics always provided high quality samples and sounds!
Such a joy to watch this over and over again!
Oh man you guys - such a great video. Thanks for contributing such awesome talent and layers of effort. I really appreciate it. Saved it to TWO categories - and I'm checking it out.
26:53 best part and a living LEGEND
Some of the best sounds I've ever heard. Really impressive
Eric Pershing. You have inspired me for a long time. You have done it again. I must work on my keyboard chops from this day forward. It is my time now! WOW!
Great choice and variety of keyboardists. I am sold. One day.
You dudes all think you want this software but what you really want is all these super duper keyboard players. They can make anything sound good. That first guy on the rhodes improvises more intresting tracks in a couple of minutes then me in 15 years of failing around with FL Studio. I use the Art Vista grand piano and the MrRay 73 mark II for rhodes but now I want keyscape! And Cory Herny to play rhodes all day ...
Boy am I behind the eight-ball 🤔
Those Rhodes sounds are perfect. I never got to hear any of the Wurlitzer’s but I bet they’re perfect.
I need Keyscape!!
thanks for JD800 Crystal Rhodes - the most beautiful and amazing instruments - many thanks in Hungary in Budapest
I saw your demo and the virtual Bass oh, it's off the charts and spot on!
11:44 - I made the exact same sound when I heard that Rhodes
I've had this for about 5 months so far...and let me tell you, I'll probably never use ANY other piano VST out there again. The sound is JUST like the real thing, and playing it on a great midi piano with weighted keys and such...can't get any better in my opinion. Loving it :)
Awesome! Thank you! :-)
7:26 Hmm yeah, probably the most amazing little piece I've ever heard.
Oh my god, this must have been the most blissful "demo video" I've ever seen. Fantastic players getting their mojo going on something that's made with passion.
Thumbs up.
Y'all had to get Cory to demo now I have to buy it...
Eric - As usual, you killed this !! Makes me smile to see 2 old friends laughing at the end (you and Greg) !!
This library was a game changer, I’m telling you. It’s 2024, 8 years later this library still dominates the scene
Definitely the best modeling I've ever heard. Kudos to the team, seriously.
