With XPRESS KEYBOARDS Native Instruments has realized three software music instruments that combine an outstanding sound with incredible ease-of-use. The bundle includes the XPRESS versions of the B4, PRO-53, and FM7, making it the perfect option for instrumentalists who see themselves first and foremost as musicians and who want to get straight to making music.

Three legendary instruments

The XPRESS KEYBOARDS generate the sounds of three legendary classics, which to this day have not lost an ounce of their popularity. Each instrument represents a milestone in music history: B4 XPRESS produces the sound of the legendary B3 drawbar organ including rotary speaker. PRO-53 XPRESS generates the sound of the beloved Prophet-5TM analog synth. FM7 XPRESS delivers the modern and digital sound of the famous FM synths of the 1980s.

Presets and controls for B4 XPRESS 
 
The three XPRESS KEYBOARDS are designed for maximum playability and deliver the most popular sounds of their predecessors. Altogether 160 outstanding sounding presets cover an enormous spectrum of sounds, from fat basses to lead and pad sounds, from organ sounds to keyboard tones. In addition the presets can be changed through selected sound parameters – depending on the preset – letting you customize the sound, easy and intuitive. 

Professional sound

One of the most important factors when making music is finding a completely convincing and inspiring sound. In this department XPRESS KEYBOARDS set new standards: these brilliant instruments inherit their sound engines from the full versions of B4 Organ, FM7, and PRO-53, instruments known for their perfect sound quality. Professional sound is guaranteed.

Live and in the studio

Since all three instruments can run standalone and as a plug-in, XPRESS KEYBOARDS are equally suited for playing live at home, on stage, and for composing songs in a sequencer. 

Individual and as bundle

XPRESS KEYBOARDS includes B4 XPRESS, FM7 XPRESS, and PRO-53 XPRESS and will be offered as a bundle at a very attractive price in the NI Online Shop and stores worldwide. In addition the instruments can be purchased individually as direct download from the NI Online Shop.
