Gospel Musicians has released the Neo-Soul Keys 3X sample library for Kontakt 5 and the free Kontakt Player.

Neo-Soul Keys 3X is an upgrade to the original Neo-Soul Keys. Unlike the original Neo-Soul Keys which only featured a Suitcase Mark I EP, the new 3X adds a dirty Stage Mark I and a Wurlitzer emulation. More importantly, Gospel Musicians added a ton of mechanical noises to add grit, dirt, and realism to your EP experience.

Their number one goal was realism and to give you the most organic experience ever in an EP library.

Gospel Musicians went to great lengths to make sure that if you could not take your heavy electro-mechanical instrument to your gig, or session, then this EP library would be the next best thing. A heavy amount of detail, thought, and programming went into this library as it boasts almost 8.0GB of sample data using Kontakt 5's new scripting engine and features. Gospel Musicians say the details make a difference and you will clearly hear the meticulous amount of detail that went into sampling every nuance and mechanical noises necessary for a complete EP experience.

New Yamaha Motif XS/XF Version
Gospel Musicians have also added the new Mark I Stage electric piano version for the Yamaha Motif XS/XF keyboards. This version has all of the knobs that are on the Kontakt version assigned to 8-different sliders for the Yamaha Motif keyboards. This gives you a lot of power, flexibility, and realism. Their goal was to make sure that the Stage EP would sound exactly the same as the Kontakt version. For the XF, you can load your EP in the Flash boards and load one time and it stays in memory.
