Neo-Soul Keys® Studio 2 is the next evolution in electric piano sounds and effects from Gospel Musicians, which features a complete architecture overhaul using our new Pure Synth® structure and licensed VKFX effects. Our goal with version 2 was to add more high quality electric pianos, effects, and features by combining the organic sound of samples, along with the flexibility in editing options from a synthesizer. With both of these features, Neo-Soul Keys® Studio 2 will be the most complete electric piano library ever created.

8 New Electric Pianos
- Nu Suitcase - A perfectly tuned and manicured suitcase that represents the clean and beautiful side, with beautiful bell tine noises in the low velocities. This EP was sampled from the DI, suitcase speakers, and mic’d ambient harp and comes in a DI and fully concatenated stereo version with all of the tonal goodness from each source.
- Suitcase 88 - This is another clean suitcase with a very unique and interesting tine attack. This is great for tine lovers.
- Nu Mark I Stage - This is a very clean and dark sounding Stage EP. The uniqueness in this piano lies in the incredibly deep and rich lows with a ton of bark and expression.
- Dilluh Stage - Sampled from JFILT from Very Sick Beats who one of the top Neo-Soul Hip-Hop producers on YouTube. This EP is perfect for Hip-Hop, Jazz, Neo-Soul, and that J-Dilla, Roots, Slum vibe. It is clean with quirks, which makes it ideal for that dirty stuff.
- Nu Mark V - We updated our Mark V with a super clean and chocolaty smooth sound. The expression is amazing and barks tremendously.
- Mark III Tines - This is for tine lovers who absolutely love the sound of tines, which is reminiscent of a Mark III sound.
- Nu Wurly - This is a perfectly manicured, maintained, and serviced Wurly piano that can fit with any type of genre.
- D’Ang CP70 - There would be no soul, without the sound of recording artist D’Angelo, who often performs live on a Yamaha CP70 Electric Grand.

Superior product, helpful support teams that are passionate.
This app is better than IK and any other sampler applications I’ve used on IOS, the reason the files are large is because you can’t get quality and dynamics with highly compressed audio. Audio files are not clown cars.
The support I received when I had issues was clear and precise, once I’d properly explained the issue I had. They’re clearly passionate about their product but, like with anything, to make it better requires the funds and better reviews.
Happy to share my good experiences with this app. I will suggest it to anyone I know using IOS that want more polished and professional recordings, even just for inspiration whilst recording demos.
It’s a justifiable purchase.
Like all the newer apps from this developer it takes up a massive amount of storage, and requires much fiddling to get a good sound, usually.
Unfortunately whilst useful, the base sounds are no better than the original neo soul keys. This version has arguably worse responsiveness and is less inspiring to play.
Not for me, staying away from their products
I had previously bought pure synth and deleted it but this came highly recommended from a friend.
Sadly I’m of the same opinion. This is just another bloated sampler set with their effects attempting to give it some character. It’s just variations of maybe 5 different EP sample sets with a clunky interface. As old as IK multimedia are, I prefer theirs as both standalone or within SampleTank.
Might be worth it for those who want access to a host of presets, but I find it as unusable as pure synth so I’m requesting a right of withdrawal agreement.
Killer
This is a killer app. Buy with confidence.
Ipad air 2 is giving me 1.3 ms latency. Try that with a laptop...
Can confirm it works well with studiologic sl73.
Sounds absolutely incredible
Whoever wrote “sounds slightly boring” is either a troll or had no idea what he/she was purchasing. NSK2 is by far the best collector of classic EPs on iOS. If you are a fan of Rhodes, Wurlis, CPs, etc you need this. If you want something like MKSensation then get Pure Synth Platinum. Or wait for the new version of MKS which is apparently in the works.
Sounds slightly boring
Too many settings. I prefer the simplicity and quality of MK Sensation if only you made it auv3 compatible.
The sounds are basically morphed oscillators with no character for the gigabytes it requires. This is a let down after MK Sensation.
