Keyboard Foundry
Keyboard Powerhouse
- • Incredible Keyboards From History and Today
- • Layer Up-To Six Complete Sounds
- • Custom-Built Effects That Rival Your Best Plugins
Keyboard Foundry - my new Rack Extension.
This… is the keyboard plugin you want. It’s certainly what I’ve been hoping for.
It’s had the longest development cycle. S73 and Studio Piano were born out of it.
Take the most influential keyboards and workstations of the last 60 years and assemble them into one instrument, then layer 6 of those instruments together
- that’s Keyboard Foundry.
Like a foundry that melts different metals together, Keyboard Foundry melts different keyboards together for sounds that evoke the past, present, and future simultaneously, allowing layers from history to coexist and interact with layers from today.
I love the idea of vintage keyboards…
I occasionally enjoy calling back to the past and hearing sounds that meant so much to me. That’s a lot of fun and Keyboard Foundry certainly delivers.
However…
I find many raw vintage keyboard sounds inadequate for modern productions. Many times they are too thin, have inappropriate effects or offer a vibe inconsistent with a modern production. Vintage tech is also not friendly with studios of today. I’m up to my knees with SCSI, SIMM Memory, Midi SDS (Alchemy on OS9), bad capacitors and blown EEPROMS; I mean, we want to call back - not actually go back.
Enter Keyboard Foundry
I spent years collecting and meticulously sampling the coolest keyboards from each era I participated in. Keyboard Foundry is a living history of the most influential, most loved, and most recorded keyboards from the last 60 years. It’s been fun to rebuild these instruments digitally. In most cases the sounds are identical.
The idea though, was to transform, twist, and layer these iconic sounds into new timbres for modern music.
Reverse keymaps, modern noises, vintage keys, a pristine piano and SAW-1 Discovery rolled into a preset - that’s my kind of instrument.
These are best-in-class sounds. These are best-in-class recreations. These are best-in-class modern layers.
Try it out! I know you’ll be thrilled.
