Guitar Center has featured Alicia Keys on the cover of their September “Hi-Tech Guide” issue to discuss the creative need and use of her Native Instruments piano software, “Alicia’s Keys.” Keys’ collaboration with Native Instruments in designing a virtual piano software is a first of its kind. The new and innovative software emulates Keys’ Yamaha C3 Neo Grand Piano and allows musicians of all levels to recreate the rich sounds that embody her soulful music. Together with her Engineer, Ann Mincieli, Sample Specialist Thomas Skarbee, and Impuse Response Specialist Ernest Cholakis, Keys created a virtual piano software that would also simplify her recording process.
