Features

Kissed by the 90s

Vapor Keys is a collection of custom Electric Pianos mixed with various FM, Wavetable and Algorithmic synthesizer sounds and designed to create gorgeous and bold modern neo-90s sounds. The collection is inspired by classic movies and artists like Luxury Elite, Macintosh Plus, ２ ８ １ ４ or Hong Kong Express. The collection is divided into two parts: Electric Pianos and Vapor Keys.

9 Electric Pianos

Electric Pianos are dry, multi velocity sampled instruments with classic EP presets from vintage FM gear with 2 effects / patch: a detuned chorus and a phaser.

With this selection you get access to great authentic FM Electric Pianos from the 80s and 90s. All samples are recorded key-to-key in 24 bit 48kHz. Karanyi captured these sounds with analog gear and by applying the minimum software post-production process to keep these patches rich and fresh.

14 Vapor Keys

Vapor Keys are heavily sound-designed keyboard instruments with dry and wet signals mixed together from various FM pianos, other synth sources and reverb gears. These patches are great for chords, arps and shorter soundscapes. Karanyi captured authentic, classic instruments algorithmic and fm (Yamaha DX7 and TX81z) and modern wavetable (Arturia MicroFreak) synthesizers along with various Eventide reverb units and tape machines to create these extraordinary presets.
