XLN Audio Addictive Keys: Mark One

The Addictive Keys: Mark One is a virtual instrument by XLN Audio that is based on the Fender Rhodes Mk. 1 electric piano. This iconic instrument has been the most popular electric piano for over four decades and is renowned for its unmistakable warmth and intimacy. The piano is played through a vintage tube combo amp and captured with rare vintage microphones to achieve a sublime sound. The tone is capable of range from a smooth, captivating caress to a searing, crunchy sound that can cut through any mix.

The Mark One instrument includes different recording setups that can be mixed and matched, giving you infinite possibilities in sound design. With the tube combo set up in a large recording room, vintage microphones were positioned close to and far from the amp to capture intimate and ambient sounds. Three different types of microphones were used: a dynamic, a tube condenser, and a ribbon microphone. Two line signals were also recorded, one “direct” through a high-voltage DI box and another through the classic Roland Dimension D analog stereo chorus.
