What?!!? Reason Pianos and Reason Drums is not in the factory aoundbank? What about Reason Strings? Any joy there? As for the poster that mentioned Electromechanical, I got it for free years and years ago and have used it on major label releases! It’s fantastic what Props did with that refill. If you're on Logic then even its factory EP which was released a billion years ago, is better than Radical Keys.
LOUNGE LIZARD VS KEYSCAPE CODE
There are other more inspiring, higher quality options out there, like any of the Waves EPs which can be currently had for $30 at with discount code YNY23, or if you have Arturia's Stage 73 then you're search is over.
And having various VST options myself, I definitely do not think Radical Keys is worth a purchase. You need a high quality reference to compare it to. If you try Radical Keys while in the Propellerhead bubble, and not try out anything else, then it's going to sound great to you. Is Radical Keys really that bad? I suppose I can try it out and compare.įirst of all, there is no reason not to get Radical Keys if you want to, it's useable - HOWEVER if keys are your thing, then you need to try the other options (VST) out as well. I really don't want to use VSTs unless I have to and I do have Arturia but I'm trying to avoid it. Radical Keys was on my definite buy list this May Madness, assuming it went on sale. I know there are all sorts of variables in individual Rhodes/outboard/console/whatever that can lead to these two virtual instruments sounding so different but to me it is night and day especially with clean sounds. I really hope they revisit it and tweak it. One "feels" like you're playing the something approaching the real thing. At least with it cranked it gives it *some* sort of attack.Īnd this doesn't even get into playability or feel. The *only* setting that is different between them is that I turned up the Key Down Mechanics on Rad Keys because the default setting sounds so wrong (i.e. and set to the LINE output (that's why I choose the Soniccouture Rhodes because like Rad Keys you can mix Line, Mic, and Room sounds). Both were initialized with no FX/EQ, no trem, etc. I'm not gonna bother to tell you which is which. Each repeats a dumb phrase for a few bars. I did a quick comparison between Radical Keys and Soniccouture's Canterbury Suitcase and the difference is.something. Attack is non-existent unless you crank the Key Down noise in "Mechanics". Something about the attack is off and it has very little of the bell-like clean tone that you would get from a Rhodes. Playing with the "Character" knob doesn't help as all that seems to do is muffle it even further or make it absolutely nasty brittle.
It sounds muffled and tinny at the same time. Radical Keys sounds pretty bad to my ears when compared with other virtual Rhodes (and the real thing from memory).
