125 presets also are on board to get you started.

A whopping 55+ GB of samples (22,424 of them to be exact) were created from the acoustic instruments and reduced to 13 GB using FLAC encoding. Many of these instruments were recorded using multiple microphones. Along with all the great samples provided, Key Suite Acoustic also has three filter types, as well as amp/filter envelopes and effects. In the Plucked String category there’s a Clavichord and an awesome sounding harpsichord which is one of my favorites in this collection. For example, the pianos include a Yamaha C7, Steinway Concert Grand Model D, Erard Baby Grand and there are several others. Some of the instruments included are grand pianos, upright pianos, clavichord, harpsichord, celesta and many more. It includes twenty multi-sampled acoustic instruments. For this issue of SoundBytes Magazine I will take a look at their brand new product called Key Suite Acoustic. Besides Falcon and their sample-based products, they also have iOS apps as well as effect plugins such as Thorus, Plate and Relayer. UVI is the music software company that is well known for their high-quality sound libraries and the powerhouse synth/sampler Falcon. Key Suite Acoustic is a fine collection of well-produced acoustic keyboard instruments from UVI – we take it for a test drive.
