Introducing FORGED KEYS. Designed to offer classic keys sounds, while giving the option for OOZY, ANALOG, LOFI sounds, all in the package.

FORGED KEYS offers Wurlitzer, Rhodes, & Juno within a single plugin. With many of the patches having been recorded to tape & dipped in a light acid (hydrochloric acid diluted with water). While others are clean, recorded directly from the instruments.

In addition to the inherent lofi qualities of many of the samples, FK-1 offers oozy & adjustable DETUNE and TREMOLO options to add grit and character to the sounds, along with echo & reverb effects.

FORGED KEYS also offers a spread feature, which spreads each voice across the stereo spectrum. (Similar effect to many classic synths like the Prophet-08 - this pans the voices rather than using a pseudo-stereo effect).
