Product Description
By enhancing the capabilities of the traditional electric piano, Heavyocity AVANT offers a wide variety of elaborate, avant-garde, and distinctive sounds for you to experiment with.
CREATIVE ARTICULATIONS
In AVANT, HY broke the genre-defining barriers, pushing the ordinary into new realms of musical styles and hybrid scoring by capturing creative articulations using hammers, ebows, twine, and picks.
CELESTIAL ECHOS
In this unique electric piano virtual instrument, the proprietary ECHOS feature complements your performances with a layer of divine, musical randomness.
THREE POINT MIXER
Explore an intuitive canvas to blend, manipulate, and fine-tune these diverse sources as you see fit with this electric piano VST software.
CLASSIC ELECTRIC PIANO
AVANT is a bold transformation of the electric piano. Selected for its distinctive sound and influential musical history, we began with a classic Mark II electric piano and rediscovered the best-kept secret under its hood.
UNIQUE PERFORMANCES
The inner components of this iconic instrument were isolated, and captured through pristinely prepared performances using hammers, ebows, twine, and picks.
ENDLESS CONTROL
With the powerful and flexible interface, the sound sources in AVANT can be taken to an entirely new level, allowing for complete customization by layering, modulating, and processing up to three different sources at the same time.
