  • Just bought it, it’s amazing. This demo video was the thing that got me.
  • This is the first time I consider buying preset pack. Not only because original presets are shit, but also because these are awesome!
  • Studio grand is mind blowing and upright sounds great too. Loved the Mark One sounds as well have less applications for these but definitely worth the money.
  • I didn’t want to buy another Rhodes library after Keyscape and VTines but this has seriously got me considering buying AK just for then MK1 so I can buy your presets. I need you to make some for VTines and/or Keyscape. Wow….
