Keys is familiar! You guys nailed it. I don’t know how but you did it, but you
took familiar instruments and put them in the box.. Successfully. It’s hard
finding amazing sounding instruments. It’s even harder to replicate that in
software, but that’s what you did. California Keys sound like and are expressive like the originals.
