The Essential Acoustic Keys Collection
The result of over 20 years in making sample-based instruments, Key Suite Acoustic was designed to be your desert-island acoustic keyboard library. Enjoy a wealth of deeply-sampled and immaculately recorded instruments with a level of sound quality and control you’d only expect to find in a professional recording studio. From dynamic and powerful concert grand pianos to the charactered sounds of the celesta and harpsichord, there’s something special for every project - and with multiple mic signals, customizable envelopes, filters and a pro-grade effect chain to polish your sound, you may never reach for another acoustic key library again!
Exceptional Instruments with Real Character
Every physical instrument has its own sound and unique character, and that’s part of what makes this collection so special. Each instrument in Key Suite Acoustic was auditioned by our sound designers and chosen specifically for its exceptional tone and musicality, bringing new life to your music with characterful sounds rich in depth and detail.
Deeply-Sampled with the Finest Equipment
We’ve gone the distance to create the finest quality recordings and most reliable engine possible. Applying our 20+ years experience in the field you’ll hear the difference right away, from the knowledgeable choices in microphones, placement, converters and processing, to the natural response from deep multisampling and precision editing, we’ve worked hard to ensure Key Suite Acoustic delivers ‘that’ sound right from the start.
Professional Sound at Your Fingertips
Great instruments and recordings are only the beginning, with Key Suite Acoustic we’ve created a library that delivers not only pristine sound but a fast and flexible interface for sculpting it in any way you need. From adjusting individual microphone levels to a professional-grade effect rack with impulse response processor, multi-band EQ, digital delay, multimode modulation, and reverb, you’ll find the right sound for any situation, any arrangement, and any style, from classical to experimental and beyond.
Model DThe renowned Steinway Concert Grand Model D, recorded in one of the finest studios in the world (Guillaume Tell in Paris) we utilized a number of microphones including the Neumann U67 to deliver a warm and majestic sound. |

Tender UprightRecorded on-location in South Africa, this Blüthner resounds with a tender tone and unique sound uncommon to grands, great for intimate pop and soft passages. |
Tack UprightAn antique upright with well-worn strings and the hammers prepared with brass tacks, this piano offers a warm and charactered tone with a slightly percussive quality. |
Honky TonkThe classic spaghetti western saloon upright complete with natural detune, recorded with vintage mics and preamps for an authentic and charactered sound. |

HarpsichordProduced by our friends at AcousticSamples, this UVI-exclusive offers what may be the definitive virtual harpsichord, deeply sampled and expertly programmed for a wonderful sound. |
ClavichordThe ancestor of the clavinet, the Clavichord has a distinctly Baroque sound to it perfect for classical, a period-piece score or a haunting accompaniment. |
SpinetThe Spinet is a small, boutique piano. As such the tonal quality is narrow and the action is more audible. A charactered instrument with a distinct sound. |
