Hey guys, in this video we’re going to look at 3 free electric piano VST instrument plugins.
These are made to replicate a bunch of different keyboard pianos, and a lot of them have a
very nice sound to them.
Keep in mind that these are electric piano plugins, so if you’re looking for acoustic
piano plugins, check out our other video where we went over some of those.
In this video, all of these electric pianos will be compared using the same MIDI file.
Number 3 on our list is Keyzone Classic, which is one of the piano VST instruments we looked
at in the free piano plugins video.
This plugin is included since it has both electric and acoustic piano modes.
We have a basic electric piano and a Rhodes piano.
I actually like the electric piano mode a little motr with this plugin, but it’s a
little muddy at the bottom end.
For controls, we have attack, decay, sustain, and release, plus our reverb, tuning, volume,
and LFO for pan, pitch, and expression.
Number 2 is the Studio Instruments Electric Piano that’s included in Cakewalk by BandLab,
and it can be used with any digital audio workstation that uses VST instruments as well
as Cakewalk.
This plugin has the most options for electric pianos out of those that we’ll look at in
this video.
We can get anything from a really smooth and warm piano, to an electric piano that’s
a lot more aggressive.
From there, we have drive, chorus, and tremolo pedals in the effects chain, plus tuning,
tone, pan and volume on the piano itself.
Listen to the difference between the crunchy piano and the studio piano here just to get
an idea of the versatility of this plugin.
My favorite free electric piano that I’ve come across is the Sweetcase Electric Piano
plugin.
This is a really smooth and warm sounding plugin that only does one piano sound, but
it does it really well.
For this plugin, we get bass boost, bell sound, which just changes the tone and attack of
the piano a little bit, intensity and speed for modulation, and reverb and volume levels.
Here’s what this plugin sounds like.
