Description
The definitive electric soul
Electric Keys Tines is an MSoundFactory instrument dedicated to the legendary sound of tine-based electric pianos. It combines the mechanical soul of the late 70s and early 80s with modern precision, delivering the bell-like tones and gritty bark that defined a generation. With its hardware-inspired interface and focused controls, you can effortlessly add classic keys to your compositions without wrestling with complex synthesis. Whether for smooth R&B, driving funk, or classic rock, Electric Keys Tines is ready to infuse your music with unparalleled nostalgia.
Start Fast
Electric Keys Tines is built on four distinct, deeply sampled historic models: the MK I, MK II 73, MK II 88, and MK V. We captured every nuance to create a meticulously sampled multi-layer sample library, including the release and pedal noises. From the raw bark of the 73 to the crystal clarity of the MK V, you have instant access to the holy grail of electric piano history. Despite the sampling depth, the instrument remains CPU- and RAM-efficient for smooth performance. Don't hunt for vintage hardware; use Electric Keys Tines.
Character & Control
Electric Keys Tines is a living instrument with essential tone-shaping tools at your fingertips. Dial in physical behaviour with the Noise section to add realistic mechanical release and sustain artefacts. Sculpt the timbre using the Character section: shift the Hammer hardness from a soft lullaby to an aggressive bite, and polish the result with Warmth and Smooth controls. You can even fine-tune the velocity response and balance to match your specific playing style perfectly.
FX Section
Forget external plugins. To finalise your sound, Electric Keys Tines features a fully modular effects rack with eight processors: Mod 1 & 2 (Vibrato, Tremolo, Wah-Wah, Rotar,y etc.), EQ, Compressor, Amp, Cab, Delay, and Reverb. You can drag and drop modules to freely reorder the signal chain—try placing tremolo before or after the amp for different textures. Each effect is streamlined for creativity, offering two large main knobs for quick adjustments supported by fine-tuning parameters.
Globals
The Globals tab ensures the instrument fits perfectly into your workflow. Manage polyphony (up to unlimited voices) to optimise CPU usage, adjust master tuning and pitch, or refine velocity ranges. Handy locking features allow you to keep your preferred global settings active even while you browse through different instrument presets.
