The iconic keyboard collection: A hand-picked suite of the electric and acoustic keys that have defined pop, rock, funk, soul and R&B, faithfully sampled and revived.

There’s a certain magic about the resonance and immersion of an open-lid concert grand piano; about the action and vibe of a vintage electric keyboard. Waves’ precision sampling technology reawakens the classic textures and tones of the legendary instruments that have defined rock, pop, funk, soul, and R&B, putting them directly at your fingertips.

The pianos and keys in this collection capture every articulation, hammer-hitting tone and string-striking mechanic of the highly-coveted originals. Whether you’re a professional keyboard player, a songwriter or a producer playing in the studio or live on stage, you will enjoy the true feel, expression and rich dynamic response of these authentic instruments.

This collection includes five VST instruments:

Grand Rhapsody Piano: Faithfully sampled from the Fazioli F228 grand piano at London’s Metropolis Studios, using 8 pairs of first-class condenser, dynamic & ribbon microphones
Electric 88 Piano: Captures all the soul and sweetness of two authentic, road-worn 88-key suitcase pianos; “Top of the class for Fender Rhodes VI’s” (master keyboardist Jason Miles)
Electric 200 Pianos: Sampled from an original 200A-model electric piano to revive that classic, gritty, fat and majestic Wurly sound”
Electric Grand 80 Piano: Delivering the era-defining polish and brilliant tones of the original hybrid electric-acoustic CP-80 model piano
Clavinet: Faithfully sampled from an original D6-model Clavinet made famous by Stevie Wonder capturing every articulation of the original funkified icon

“Grand Rhapsody is stunning. It's got some secret sauce that’s missing from other virtual pianos. It’s also got a wide range of sounds, which makes it a valuable songwriting tool for me. I love the versatility of the formant control – very useful for creating space for vocals.”

“I’ve played many well-maintained Wurlys in studios around the world – and I find Electric 200 to be a great option. I can get this software instrument to respond the way my original Wurlitzer does. The overdrive is just right, too – warm and fuzzy.”

“Electric Grand 80 reproduces a sound that brings me back to the days of George Duke. Waves pianos are just brilliant. ”

“Electric 88 sounds so realistic, so true to the Fender Rhodes. It has a strong personality that’s perfect for funk and soul. I especially love it for background chords or layers. ”

“This Clavinet has its own character and vibe. I love the auto-wah effect and the options to customize it, as well as the ability to mix three different mic positions. Plus, this instrument is absolutely light on CPU. Truly great!”

“Waves’ new series of virtual instruments is a pleasure for my arsenal of sound for Juno Reactor. I’m always looking for mind-bending sounds, yet it’s sometimes the most simple ones that really shine. These pianos do that.”

“I really like Grand Rhapsody’s warmth and depth. I also like that you can choose to hear the pedal noises, which gives it that extra authentic sound.”

“My favorite Waves instrument right now is the Electric 88 Piano, a really beautiful software rendition of an 88-key Fender Rhodes. Great to write with and then use in the finished recordings.”

“I had an original Yamaha CP-80 electric grand piano for years – so nice to have this sound once again! The Waves version is so inspiring to play, it makes me want to create more music.”
