All user reviews of 5/5 for the Native Instruments Elektrik Piano

The Native Instruments Elektrik Piano can be purchased for a great price from native instruments site. Any one who has used Native Instruments stuff before knows how good the vst’s the make are going to be. I usually always keep my eye out on Native Instruments website for new vst’s that they will come out with. I am a frequent customer of theirs. If you are looking for a great stage electric piano sound to add to your music and patch collection then Native Instruments Elektrik Piano could be just what you are looking for.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Very easy to use, and to install . There really isn’t too much with it, the best thing about it is the sounds. There are only maybe 7 knobs on the whole vst and interface so there really isn’t too much stuff going on that can confuse you or make you need to take out a manual. Though I havent even seen a manual for this because when I purchased it I just got a download link for the full vst not for a manual or any instructions so im thankful that its easy to use.


OVERALL OPINION

The sounds are great, very realistic and even some what vintage. You will love how well rounded each patch really sounds. They are so thick and full of good tones. You can edit the eq and tun pan and volume right on the interface of Elektrik piano as well. Thre is nothing confusing or tricky going on when using. Its just great and simple at the same time. I recommend it to everyone. All of the sounds are basically coming from 4 different boards, the Mk1 and MK 2 as well as the E7 and the A 200. All of those boards are known for the electric pianos and they are all brought into one device. The Native Instruments electric Piano.

RAS. Installation without problem. Prsentation clear and simple. Friendly and intuitive interface

On my computer: 3Ghz and 1G DDR and sound card E-MU 4040, pc, via Nuendo.
The software runs nickel, for against the quality of the soft places a big place in CPU. (It all goes prafois sul 40%).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week, the PLUS is the ism of MODEL but also the number. We have several Rhodes dja paramtrs and sounds really really rel. There's even a feature that makes you stro bass and treble right left growing.
I did not test other, from the sounds "clavinet" or "EP" on synth ... and frankly, this app is truly impeccable.
So forcment great price quality ratio

AMD 64 3500 +, 1.5 GB RAM, 200 GB x 1 System, 1 x 400 GB Datas, sound card M-AUDIO USB

1.5 GB RAM is not enough to charge the four instruments in simultanment RAM memory, otherwise no problem.

Performance is Dtonn, we do not believe it, there is.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months, I am delighted.

Well I will not repeat that it is (very) greedy in RAM.

QualitPrix: unbeatable IMHO.

I Rasht eyes closed ... I will also invest (what a word that price) in NI Akoustik Piano ... even more greedy in RAM!

Like all Native products ... Plug in and play ... no problem.
The manual is excellent even if not in use virtually no ..
It is stand alone or VST and in both cases, no worries

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I love ... Norah Jones's ... its sounds are excellent and works perfectly VLOC (avoid keyboards 10 balls, you can not apprcier). We put your hands on the keyboard and one feels that rpond with incredible sensitivity. I understood his essay Applied ... the Elektric Piano is well above.
The interface also has a great Qualter: trs it is small, which Reduces the place occupied on our good old guts.

OVERALL OPINION

You have to buy ... simply.

I had no problems installing Native Instruments Elektrik Piano on my machine. It has run smoothly and has not given me any problems. The interface is easy to follow and I didn't have any compatibility issues. I never had any problems with running this effectively, so I never had use for a manual.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I run Elektrik Piano on my Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. I use an M-Audio Keystation 49e MIDI controller and have never had a problem with this configuration. I use this both as stand alone software and with Logic. I only run one of these at a time and while it takes up some CPU power, not enough to really hurt your system if you have a good machine.

OVERALL OPINION

The Elektrik Piano virtual instrument is somewhat new to me, but in the time I have had it I have been very satisfied. The overall sound quality is quite authentic and there are a variety of presets for all different electric piano sounds - Rhodes, Wurli, bells, etc. While I'd rather have a Wurlitzer 200A, this provides a relatively cheap option that has very real sounding electric piano sounds, and is more eclectic than your hardware keyboard. You really have total control over your sound with parameters for low EQ, high EQ, trem, reverb, tun, pan and volume. The presets are great for getting a quick wide variety of electric piano tones. While I use my MIDI controller to play, you can also just click on the keys to produce sound, which can come in handy sometimes. The price is reasonable considering the quality of sound this produces. While I am usually one to stay away from virtual instruments, as I love the sound of analog gear, this is great sounding and incredibly convenient.

This installed with no problems on my system. It was really a breeze to get it up and running. Since it's a synth and not a sample-based plug you don't have to copy over huge amounts of library data. Installation takes about 2 minutes, and then you have to verify your serial which is pretty simple. All you really need to do as far as configuration is to make sure you have your MIDI channel selected correctly for your MIDI controller if you are using one. Other than that you just need to make sure your DAW adds the plug to its VST database (most do automatically). The manual that Native Instruments provides is very thorough and detailed so if you have questions they are very likely answered there.

My computer is a custom built PC that is running Windows XP. It has a high end Intel processor and plenty of RAM. I am using Cubase for my DAW. This plug should install in the VST format if your system is PC based. This software does use a little bit of CPU, about 3% on my meter with a very fast processor. Luckily this doesn't take up huge amounts of RAM like sample-based plug-ins do though, so that resource stays free for other plugs. This one is very stable, it doesn't ever crash as far as I know.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using this for a few months now - just recently got it. I really love the sound of it - it's like having a Rhodes piano in your computer! Obviously it doesn't sound exactly like the real thing, but this is by far the best approximation I have heard in a digital plug-in. In addition, this plug offers far more flexibility than a real Rhodes does. You can very quickly and easily modify the sound to get it to suit your production better, whereas with a real one that would often be impossible. When you consider that this is also a tiny fraction of the price of the real thing, this does seem like an incredible value. I definitely recommend this plug, unless you can afford a bunch of different sounding Rhodes pianos in your studio. I would get it again.
