Software Compatibility

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Add a killer collection of classic electric pianos to your Pro Tools rig with AIR Velvet 2!

AIR Velvet 2 Electric Piano Virtual Instrument at a Glance:
  • Dynamic modeling gives you great feel
  • Realistic electric piano sounds and features
  • Easy to use, just like the originals
  • Powerful preamp section
Dynamic modeling gives you great feel

AIR Velvet 2 uses a proprietary dynamic modeling technique, a unique combination of optimized sampling and digital modeling, to provide you with incredibly accurate re-creations of classic electric piano sounds with superior playing feel and dynamic response. You can even pull off sounds you'd normally only hear when playing the real instrument, from the faintness of the lightest pianissimo to the note splat of the strongest fortissimo.

Realistic electric piano sounds and features

Velvet 2 provides unprecedented control over the sound characteristics with such realism it's as if you were playing a real electric piano. Turn up the tube drive controls in the preamp section to warm up your tone. Adjust the timbre, dynamic response, and velocity curve to customize the playing feel. Craft your ideal sound using the built-in multi-effects processing engine, and adjust the tuning. Even mix in the sound of pedal and other keyboard mechanical noises to re-create a truly realistic electric piano feel.

Easy to use, just like the originals

Whether you want to use one of the over 350 included professional-sounding electric piano presets or create something unique, dialing up the perfect electric piano sound is easy. Just select a preset and tweak away! The plug-in's graphic user interface is reminiscent of classic electric pianos, making it familiar if you've ever played the real deal. And its controls work virtually almost like the originals, allowing you to easily modify sounds at the twist of a knob or notch of a slider.

Powerful preamp section

Velvet 2 features a built-in preamp and effects to add a contemporary spin on a classic. Its powerful preamp section lets you shape your electric piano sound, and includes tube overdrive, compression, and a custom 3-band EQ with a parametric mid band. Process your sound further using a wide range of distortion, wah/filter, chorus, flanger, phaser, and tape delay effects - modeled after the classic originals - to emulate a vintage sound or forge something new. You can even capture the perfect vibe by adding tremolo and autopan effects, which are modeled after those on the original electric pianos.

  • Realistic emulations of five legendary electric pianos including the Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I Stage Piano, Fender Rhodes MK II Stage Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, and Hohner Pianet-T
  • 350 ready-to-play presets get you started with all of the classic EP tones you crave
  • Dynamic modeling technique delivers unprecedented dynamic response and natural sound

Great software instrument with amazing sounds

This is a truly amazing software instrument plugin with just about the most realistic electric piano sounds I've ever heard. I've enjoyed it for years and have just upgraded to the AAX version for Pro Tools 11. Highly recommended!!

Ok, But The Install Is Insane!

I bought this on sale for $... and it is barely worth that. It's "OK" as an electric piano - more about that later. FIRST, you have to get it installed. This features the INSANELY complicated "iLOC Licensing" scheme, which will try the patience of any normal person. Load this, go here, fill this out, download this, then register that, then wait for this, and then find thisd to CLICK, then paste this and go HERE top click THIS and download THAT, so you can insert this, and then verify THAT, before you can run a $... very average VST. It's pure mayhem. It's an example of OVERKILL so wild and extreme, you would think you were downloading National Secrets.

It's maddening that Sweetwater doesn't indicate on the product page that this is an ILok license. Had I known, I would not have touched this with a 1-foot pole.

As to the VST, the interface needs a 100X power magnifying glass to read. The sounds? Meh.
