Heavyocity Media has announced the release of Avant: Modern Keys. Described as "a bold transformation of the electric piano", Heavyocity says Avant pushes the ordinary into new realms of musical genres and scoring.
Selected for its distinctive sound and influential musical history, the Heavyocity team began with a classic Mark II electric piano and rediscovered the best-kept secret under its hood. With the inner components isolated and captured through pristinely prepared performances (using hammers, ebows, twine, and picks), its breadth has been expanded to defy all expectations — delivering a diverse range of ornate, innovative, and unusual sounds for you to explore.
Paired with the powerful Ascend engine, the sound sources in Avant can be taken to a new level, allowing for complete customization by layering, modulating, and processing up to three different sources at the same time.
Our goal with Avant was to reinvent electric keys. To offer unique content that breaks the genre-defining barriers of what this instrument is capable of. Avant is, without a doubt, a sonic treasure trove.
