Yes, you can now sound like Alicia Keys Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano and , you can still sound like her voice when you are drunk at the Karaoke Bar. As for her piano skills, you can do that anytime now because Keys and Yamaha have partnered up to make an affordable product to replicate her signature piano style. The company and Keys have worked to gather in the past but, they want everyone to be able to play like Keys.
This is how Yamaha will do it. Yamaha has a new hybrid piano. The name of it is called Avant Grand. The Avant Grand is an amazing feat of technology that digitally simulates not only the sound, but the physical experience of playing a fine grand piano. The Avant Grand combines meticulous multisampling, an ingenious speaker system, and an array of actuators that reproduce a piano’s acoustic vibrations in a design called the Tactile Response System.
"I wanted to create a sound that is just magnificent and that would inspire me to play," said Keys. "It was an idea that was born during the creation of my last album As I Am, which was recorded at my own studio, The Oven Studios, in New York City. While we were there recording this album we were able to create a really warm and beautiful sound using my Yamaha C3 Neo, and we decided that we wanted to capture that sound and make it something that I can take with me everywhere.
"I believe it is really important to have access to a great sounding piano, and I hope this new virtual piano will inspire others and help them to hone their craft in a way like never before, regardless of their economic situation."
