Digidesign Velvet Vintage Piano Plugin

More details:

This powerful instrument plug-in emulates these classic keyboards — both in sound quality and playing feel — and provides unrivaled flexibility to achieve sounds for any style of music. From the faintness of the lightest pianissimo to the note splat of the strongest fortissimo, Digidesign Velvet is capable of delivering sounds you`d normally only hear when playing the real instrument — and those that are only limited by your imagination.

Developed by the Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group, Velvet™ is a powerful new RTAS® instrument plug-in that delivers highly realistic emulations of your favorite electric pianos — from classic to modern — to your Pro Tools® system. Velvet accurately emulates the nuances of the original instruments, both in sound quality and playing feel, to reproduce virtually any electric piano sound, and is based on four legendary electric pianos: the Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II Stage Pianos, and Wurlitzer A200*.
