MELDA Electric Keys - Tines (Digitalt produkt)

The Definitive Electric Soul

Electric Keys Tines is an MSoundFactory instrument that captures the iconic sound of tine-based electric pianos. Merging the mechanical essence of the late 70s and early 80s with modern precision, it delivers the bell-like tones and gritty bark that defined a musical era. With its hardware-inspired interface and intuitive controls, you can seamlessly incorporate classic keys into your compositions, whether you're creating smooth R&B, energetic funk, or timeless rock.

Start Fast

This instrument is built on four distinct, deeply sampled historic models: the MK I, MK II 73, MK II 88, and MK V. Every nuance has been meticulously captured to create a multi-layer sample library that includes release and pedal noises. From the raw bark of the 73 to the crystal clarity of the MK V, you have immediate access to the pinnacle of electric piano history. Despite its sampling depth, Electric Keys Tines remains CPU- and RAM-efficient, ensuring smooth performance without the need for vintage hardware.

Character & Control

Electric Keys Tines is a dynamic instrument equipped with essential tone-shaping tools. Utilize the Noise section to add realistic mechanical release and sustain artifacts. Shape the timbre with the Character section, adjusting the Hammer hardness from a soft lullaby to an aggressive bite, and refine the sound with Warmth and Smooth controls. You can also fine-tune the velocity response and balance to perfectly match your playing style.

FX Section

Eliminate the need for external plugins with Electric Keys Tines' fully modular effects rack, featuring eight processors: Mod 1 & 2 (Vibrato, Tremolo, Wah-Wah, Rotary, etc.), EQ, Compressor, Amp, Cab, Delay, and Reverb. You can easily drag and drop modules to reorder the signal chain, experimenting with different textures by placing effects in various sequences. Each effect is designed for creativity, offering two large main knobs for quick adjustments alongside fine-tuning parameters.

Globals

The Globals tab ensures that Electric Keys Tines integrates seamlessly into your workflow. Manage polyphony (up to unlimited voices) to optimize CPU usage, adjust master tuning and pitch, or refine velocity ranges. Convenient locking features allow you to maintain your preferred global settings while browsing through different instrument presets.
