Real Pianos in Real Spaces

Every piano has its own voice. Master Keys captures those voices in high‑quality detail, sampling a wide range of instruments in the environments where they naturally shine.

From concert grands in sweeping halls to well‑worn spinets in cozy living rooms, and everything in between. We travel across the country to record pianos of all sizes, ages, and characters. Our goal is simple: make those unique voices available to you, exactly as they are.

Playability is Key

A great piano isn’t just about the sound, it’s about how it feels to play. Master Keys is built to preserve that tactile connection:

  • Authentic touch response and dynamics
  • Natural resonance and sympathetic vibrations
  • Subtle imperfections that bring the performance to life

Sit down at your keyboard, and the response is immediate and organic, as close as possible to the experience of a real piano under your fingers

Pro vs Lite

Every piano in Master Keys is available in two formats, so you can choose what fits your workflow

Pro Version

For maximum detail and control:

  • Multiple microphone positions
  • Every key sampled. No stretching
  • Additional in‑plugin features for tone shaping

Perfect when you want full access to a piano’s character and the flexibility to sculpt the sound to match your track.

Lite Version

For speed and simplicity:

  • Single, carefully chosen microphone position
  • Key stretching (every 3rd key sampled)
  • Minimal footprint (typically ~50 MB)
  • Loads almost instantly, even on portable rigs

Ideal for quick inspiration, live use, or when system resources are limited.
A free trial version is available for every Lite piano (with some keys disabled) so you can try before you buy.
