Mark One
The Mark One features a Fender Rhodes MK I 73 electric piano heard on countless hit songs and records. This has been the most popular electric piano for more than four decades. This particular Mark One instrument was handpicked for its unmistakable warmth and intimacy, and after auditioning a handful of amplifiers the decision landed on a MusicMan 112 RD Fifty 1X12". This combination was the perfect match combined with the recording room and microphones. By offering the exact recording setup in Addictive Keys and the option of mixing and matching microphones the Mark One is extremely versatile and can be transformed into just about anything.
The recording process
With the tube combo set up in a large recording room, vintage microphones was positioned at both close and far away perspective capturing the amp close-up and with natural ambience. To add variety, three microphones were positioned next up to the speaker; a dynamic, a tube condenser and a ribbon microphone. One floor and one room microphone setup were used for the option of adding a sense of depth and ambience to the recordings. Two line signals were recorded, using a high-voltage DI box and a classic Roland Dimension D analog stereo chorus.
After auditioning a large number of different setups seven perspectives were chosen:
- Line / Line DI Mono - Avalon U5
- Amb Tube / Amb. Tube XY - Neumann SM69
- Close Ribb / Close Ribbon Mono - Coles 4038
- Close Dyn / Close Dynamic Mono - Shure SM57
- Close Tube / Close Tube Mono - Telefunken U47
- Dim-D / Line Dim-D FX - Roland Dimension D
- Floor PZM / Floor PZM Wide - Sennheiser MKE212
