Elektrik Piano

Native Instruments Elektrik Piano

As an experienced Kontakt programmer and keyboard player, I really enjoyed getting a chance to work with the Native Instruments team on their vintage keyboard product Elektrik Piano, which includes four different instruments: a Rhodes Mark 1, Rhodes Mark 2, a Wurly, and a Clavinet. I’m a huge fan of these keyboards and their unique expressive natures. The Rhodes, in particular, is my favorite keyboard to play because of its huge range of expressive tones, frequently used in R&B and soul music.

For Native Instruments, I did some of the patch programming, creating some of the more unusual and esoteric variations on the samples.

2010 Update: Elektrik Piano has been discontinued as a standalone product, although the contents of Elektrik Piano have been added to the Kontakt factory library.

I applaud @NI_News for this open community update on their current product line and roadmap for the future. As someone who uses Kontakt on a daily basis, this is really exciting:

Curious to see where this ends up. Desert island selection, and you can only listen to one, and the other doesn’t exist:

Some wonderful moments from @eltonofficial and Bernie Taupin receiving the #GershwinPrize this week. Fantastic performances from @Metallica, @brandicarlile, @charlieputh, @jonimitchell, and more.
