Software Neo-Soul Keys® 3X Pre-Release Now!

Gospel Musicians LLC has released the Neo-Soul Keys 3X sample library for Kontakt 5 FREE Player.


Neo-Soul Keys 3X is an upgrade to the original Neo-Soul Keys. Unlike the original Neo-Soul Keys which only featured a Suitcase Mark I EP, the new 3X adds a dirty Stage Mark I and a Wurlitzer emulation. More importantly, we added a ton of mechanical noises to add grit, dirt, and realism to your EP experience. Our number one goal was realism and to give you the most organic experience ever in an EP library. We went to great lengths to make sure that if you could not take your heavy electro-mechanical instrument to your gig, or session, then our EP library would be the next best thing. A heavy amount of detail, thought, and programming went into this library as it boasts almost 8.0GB of sample data using Kontakt 5's new scripting engine and features. The details make a difference and you will clearly hear the meticulous amount of detail that went into sampling every nuance and mechanical noises necessary for a complete EP experience!

New Yamaha Motif XS/XF Version:

We have also added the new Mark I Stage electric piano version for the Yamaha Motif XS/XF keyboards. This version has all of the knobs that are on the Kontakt version assigned to 8-different sliders for the Yamaha Motif keyboards. This gives you a lot of power, flexibility, and realism. Our goal was to make sure that the Stage EP would sound exactly the same as the Kontakt version. For the XF, you can load your EP in the Flash boards andload one time and it stays in memory.

New 3X Features:
• 2.5GB of NEW Sample Data - 8.0GB Uncompressed) @ 44.1kHz/24-Bit - 12-Velocity Layers
• Two New EPs: Wurli and Mark I Stage
• Butter/Creamy sound or Mono version for Suitcase
• A Dirty Tube Saturated or Clean version Stage EP
• More Dirt knob to add more of the dirty tine
• New Key Down samples with more mechanical FX
• New Key Up Samples with more mechanical noises
• Dial in more of the Wurli distorted speaker sound
• Dial in more tube saturation for Wurli and Stage
• All samples run through tube amps for a more vintage sound

There is no upgrade for Suitcase owners. Unfortunately there was an upgrade path available for a little over a year. Due to licensing agreements, the upgrade is only for Neo-Soul Keys customers.

We tried as hard as we could to urge people to upgrade to the Neo-Soul Keys, but due to NDA, we couldn't say why we were urging everyone.

From all the demos I've heard of all the EP libraries out there, this one is definitely the most impressive.

It's $99 for this 3rd incarnation of Neo Soul Suitcase. This is $29 more than if you upgraded to Neo Soul Keys ("version 2") for $20 first.

Thanks for the response, but I am not following. Can you explain in detail..

Are you saying I should upgrade to Neo Soul Keys first for $29? Then upgrade to Neo Soul 3X? For $20?

Or are you saying, upgrade to NSK V2 for $20, and then upgrade to NSK 3X for $49, and I would save $29?


Thanks

No, as an early adopter of Neo Soul Suitcase you have to pay $29 extra for X3!

Apparently you can't update to Neo Soul Keys (version 2) anymore.

If you want X3 you have to pay $99 and not $70, which personally I think would make more sense. In this case being an early adopter is not giving you the most benefit.

Wow, I thought early adopters got the $49 upgrade deal. Thanks for the clarification.
