Developed by the Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group, Velvet is a powerful new RTAS® instrument plug-in that delivers highly realistic emulations of your favorite electric pianos — from classic to modern — to your Pro Tools® system. It accurately emulates the nuances of the original instruments—both in sound quality and playing feel — to reproduce virtually any electric piano sound, and is based on four legendary electric pianos: the Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II Stage Pianos, and Wurlitzer A200*.

Whether you're looking for a classic sound or want to craft something more modern, Velvet delivers lush sounds with the utmost ease right in your Pro Tools system.
