MKS Pianos - Kontakt Samples

Based on the MKS-20, a legendary digital piano module, renowned for its warm, expressive sound that was groundbreaking during the 1980s. Its tone blends sampled waveforms with synthesized elements for a uniquely dynamic response. The MKS-20's electric pianos, especially the Rhodes-like and FM-inspired sounds, stand out for their rich, shimmering quality and dynamic touch sensitivity. Its acoustic piano tones, while digital, carry a distinct character that sits beautifully in a mix, making it a favorite for gospel, R&B, pop, and contemporary jazz. This timeless sound module continues to be appreciated for its nostalgic tone and distinctive presence in modern productions.

The electric pianos were sampled with 12 velocity layers to capture every nuance and resonant qualities of this expressive synth, including dry and chorus versions. Originally this module comes with 8 preset sounds, all included in this sample pack plus several variations.

An uncompromising sample library specially programmed for the Native Instruments Kontakt Sampler. All nki instruments are multi-sample and multi-layer at 24-bit/44.1 stereo quality. Every wav file was smoothly looped to save sample memory and loading time. More than 6GB of audio data including a 20 digital pianos among other sampled to get the most from this synth master piece.

In addition to the Kontakt instruments you can use every wav sample of this library with any other compatible virtual or hardware sampler capable to load wav files.
