Fracture Sounds has announced the first installment in its new Blueprint series of free sample libraries. Electric Keys combines the iconic sound pf the Fender Rhodes Mark 1 with modern sampling techniques and atmospheric effects.

The first in our series of free Blueprint instruments is Electric Keys, a faithful sampling of a vintage Rhodes Mark 1 Stage Piano. With DI, amped, and acoustic signals, the instrument has been captured in exquisite detail, from the delicate tones to the characterful mechanicals.

Included in the library is a bespoke Atmosphere Layer, a unique feature of all of our commercial piano products, which extends the sonic possibilities of Electric Keys from popular music productions, to funk and jazz, and into our own wheelhouse of cinematic soundscapes.
