Acoustic and Electric Piano, Together

Twin 88 Keys brings the pristine strings of a concert grand and the iconic tines of a vintage electric piano together on one keyboard. Move from pure acoustic depth to warm electric character, or discover a new voice between the two. With expressive blending, detailed sampling, and independent sound-shaping controls, Twin 88 Keys invites you to create a piano sound that feels familiar from the first note, yet entirely your own.

Highlights

• A concert grand and a vintage 88-key electric piano combined in one instrument
• Blend the pianos by velocity, keyboard range, or tone, or move between them with a single control
• Deep sampling across both instruments’ dynamic ranges for nuanced, responsive performances
• Multiple microphone and direct-signal options for shaping each piano’s perspective
• Independent filters, EQ, envelopes, modulation, and touch response for each piano
• Motion arpeggiator and effects for creative sound design
• Adjustable pedal and release noises, plus grand piano sympathetic resonance and key-off sounds

The Grand

At the acoustic heart of Twin 88 Keys is a pristine CFX concert grand recorded in California with high-end studio equipment. Its deep, resonant bass, clear, singing treble, and long, evolving sustain capture the scale and expression of a full-size concert instrument. A finely graded response follows the nuances of your playing, while close, cinematic, and mono microphones let you choose how intimate the piano feels and how it fills the mix.

The Electric

A vintage 88-key electric piano, deeply sampled in Paris on every key at multiple velocities, delivers a complementary palette of warmth and bite. Play softly for bell-like tines, then dig in for a more assertive bark. Blend its DI signals and microphone to move between the clean, focused character of the direct sound and the open air of the microphone recording.

Recorded in Depth

Both pianos were sampled across their full dynamic ranges to preserve the details that make each instrument feel alive. Pedal and release noises bring realism to your performance, while the grand’s sympathetic resonance and key-off sounds add depth and character. Individual level controls let you decide how much of these natural details to include.

Keys Together, or Apart

Choose how the two instruments share the keyboard. Blend by velocity so the grand turns electric as you play harder, or split them by range so one piano carries the bass while the other sings above it. Blend by tone, darkening one instrument to bring the other forward, or turn a single knob from pure grand to pure electric and stop anywhere in between.

Make It Yours

Each piano has its own microphone controls, filters, EQ, envelope, and modulation, giving you detailed control over both sides of the sound. Tailor each instrument’s response to your touch, add a slow tremolo to the electric while the grand stays steady, introduce gentle pitch drift, or animate notes across the stereo field. The motion arpeggiator and effects open further possibilities for transforming familiar piano textures into distinctive musical parts.

A Piano All Your Own

For songwriters seeking a piano with a voice of its own, producers looking for keys that stand apart in a mix, and players who love both acoustic and electric instruments, Twin 88 Keys offers a new meeting point. Play a chord, hear strings and tines answer together, and explore the sound waiting between them.
