UVI has announced the release of Twin 88 Keys, a concert grand and a vintage electric piano in a single, expressive instrument.
The Grand & The Electric
The grand is a CFX recorded in California with the finest studio gear, with mixable close, cinematic, and mono microphones.
The electric was deeply sampled in Paris on every key at multiple velocities, with mixable DI and mic signals: warm and bell-like under a light touch, barks when played hard.
UVI says both were captured across their full dynamic range, along with the small sounds that make a piano feel alive: pedal and release noise, key-off sounds, and the grand’s sympathetic resonance, each with its own level.
Keys, Together Or Apart
Four controls decide how the two share the keyboard. Blend by velocity, and the grand turns electric as the player digs in. Split them by range, with one piano carrying the bass and the other singing above it. Blend by tone, darkening one piano so the other comes forward, or turn a single knob from pure grand to pure electric and stop anywhere between.
Room To Explore
Each piano has its own microphones, filters, EQ, envelope, and modulation, so the electric can tremble, drift, or travel across the stereo field while the grand stays perfectly still. The Motion arpeggiator can animate either piano on its own, Color, Dynamic, Mute, and Intensity reshape the sound from the main page, and a full effects chain with drive, grains, chorus, delay, and reverb carries both pianos well past their usual territory, from an intimate ballad to a wide ambient texture.
