AVANT Modern Keys

AVANT Modern Keys from Heavyocity reinvents the classic Mark II electric piano by isolating its inner components and capturing them through unusual techniques like hammers, e-bows, twine, and picks. This Kontakt instrument delivers 16 sound sources spanning pure tines, extended articulations, sustained textures, and processed ambiences. With the ASCEND engine, you can layer, modulate, and process up to three sources simultaneously, while the Three Point Mixer lets you blend them in real time. The proprietary ECHOS feature adds lush, musical randomness, and a convolution engine creates unique ambience and rhythmic patterns. Ideal for producers and composers seeking expressive, hybrid keys for modern electronic, ambient, and cinematic music, AVANT offers 109 custom presets and full NKS integration. It runs in Kontakt 6 and is available as VST, AU, AAX, and standalone.
