All the old school jazzers I studied under and worked with always told us never to use anything that was addictive...

Bob, As of this posting its still available ONLY as a hard shipment..... AK sale still on.... The download is 150 bucks. Same software in the end, just gotta wait a little while for shipping. Also on install, you will probably get an auto update. If not, then you have to activate it manually. You will enjoy, I almost Gar-run-TMac,In my very early year partook toooo-much on the booze side of things, but hadda stop that crap when got married. There are many many horticulturist specialists all around this rural area we live.

I've had this a few days now and I'm really liking it. With all the presets, it's easy to find something that will set well in a mix. At 29 bucks it's a heck of a good deal.

jim111,
Great its working out for you... I've had mine month to 6 weeks before this
particular sale.
But have created some decent music with it... Some number of folks commented
on my playing.... I wish, made me feel guilty... Do play a Yamaha board, but not
that well.

Thanks for posting this! The sale is over now, so I guess I picked it up just in time. It took over a week to get to me, but it sounds great. I see Alicia's Keys is on sale today for $50 - I'm not sure how long that sale will run. The Native Instruments Piano Collection (four different grand pianos) is also on sale for $50. Dang... I've been saving my money in hopes that NI Session Horns would go on sale around Thanksgiving, but these look tempting. Gotta fight of this PAS...

David, Glad you were able to get it. Ya, the sale went a long time, but they finally pulled the plug. I have not pursued this path...yet, but as you work with it a lot of modifications that fit you need are there. This is what sold me... https://www.google.com/#q=alicia+keys+versus+addictive+keysEnjoy!

Yeah, when people said that AK was their new "go to" piano, I was sold. I suspect AK will sit better in a mix. Still, I'm a sucker for a sale.

Alicia's Keys is well worth having imo. It's great for playing and sits well in some mixes. For practice, I'll probably load Alicia's Keys more than Addictive Keys, but for mixing I'll probably use Addictive Keys more. Both are great sounding to my ears and it'll just come down to what ever I'm in the mood for really. Edit: Hey guys, start this at about 1:15 or where the wave form takes a steep dip and play it out at least to the next dip or to the end. Not my genres at all but does a great job of highlighting Addictive Keys imo. What say ye? https://soundcloud.com/shanabit/shane-classical-motif

I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.
