TESTIMONIALS
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Stop wasting hours browsing for the right presets and stop struggling to recreate these sounds yourself. Stop settling for "eh, close enough... this will have to do...". Stop relying on the same old factory presets everyone uses.
It's easy to fool ourselves thinking "if only I had those other 10 keyboards, then I would have the sounds I need". You don't need 10 different keyboards to play Floyd, you only need one MIDI Controller. Any MIDI Controller.
A hundred notes with a bad tone will annoy the audience, while one single note with the proper tone will send chills down their spines. You can cause a much bigger impact than other musicians by having better tones.
Music has the power to communicate things we can't express with words. With these pristine sounds you can immerse the audience in a truly intimate experience, just like Rick Wright always intended to do.

WHAT SETS IT APART?
Floyd Keys Deluxe V.1 was crafted and constantly refined during a period of over 5 years.
From 2016 to the release date in September 2022, each sound was battle tested on stage and polished accordingly.
V.2 was made in 2024, greatly improving upon the sounds from V.1.
"Wow, I felt like I was listening to the records! Did you program all of those sounds yourself?" - frequent feedback that I got after concerts.

My second live show ever
You can see several keyboards in Rick's rig from the Wish You Were Here tour. Vintage analog gear is great, but it's also very sensitive to decalibration and damage, so imagine the weight of all of that gear and the massive effort to carefully carry all of that around on tour. Oh, and the maintenance.
With Floyd Keys Deluxe you will have maximum convenience:
1) No weight because the instruments and presets are software.
2) No tuning problems because digital pitch is perfectly stable.
3) Matching the instruments Rick used, only as software recreations.
4) All sounds safely stored as presets for instant recalling.
5) Any MIDI Controller can do the job. Two would be optimal.
6) Any DAW can handle it.
7) Lifetime Access, switch computers, switch controllers, it doesn't matter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You only need to download Analog Lab by Arturia.
https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/analoglab/overview
* About computer parameters like processor and RAM memory, I recommend having at least an i5 with 8gb of RAM.
To use Floyd Keys Deluxe with 2 MIDI controllers at once, I recommend at least an I7 with 16gb of RAM. (this is what I used to create Floyd Keys Deluxe)
Allan's top tier recommendation: Macbook Pro, M4 Pro processor with 24GB of RAM or more.
For more info on computer requirements, consult the Analog Lab page from the Arturia website
Analog Lab is a hub for all Arturia software instruments from the V Collection. You can open it as a plugin inside of your DAW, or as a standalone app, and it can play sounds from any of the instruments.
There are 4 tiers of Analog Lab:
Analog Lab PLAY (free)
Analog Lab INTRO
Analog Lab PRO (If you buy a Keylab you get a license)
Analog Lab PRO + V Collection
The free version is enough to be able to import this sound pack.
V Collection is a separate license that gives you further access to customize the sounds, but it's not a requirement to load and play Floyd Keys Deluxe.
I own the full license and need it to craft all of these sounds.
It's a collection of software recreations of legendary vintage keyboards and synthesizers made by Arturia. They sell each instrument separately, but you can get them all as a bundle for a much better price.
Minimoog, Prophet-5, Jupiter 8, CS-80, Hammond Organ, and many more, all recreated as "apps" that you can open, conect to a keyboard and play.
* You don't need a full V Collection license to be able to import Floyd Keys Deluxe, though I recommend getting it because it's absolutely fantastic and worth it.

YES! The sound engines of Analog Lab and the V Collection instruments are SOFTWARE, so the "brains" are inside of your computer.
MIDI is a standardized communication protocol of digital instruments, and controllers ~control~ software or hardware instruments. You use your MIDI controller to trigger the sounds that are being processed in real time inside of your computer.
Yes! The only requirement being Analog Lab, it works with previous versions of the V Collection.
With Analog Lab you can play sounds from any instrument from the V Collection, what the V Collection licenses adds is INSIDE ACCESS to CUSTOMIZE presets. If you have V Collection 8 you will be able to play ALL sounds from Floyd Keys Deluxe, but you won't be able to CUSTOMIZE a few presets like the Piano V3 presets and Prophet-5 V.
Only if you have an Arturia Astrolab.
This new keyboard that Arturia released has the V Collection sound engines built into it. I don't own one yet.
Regular MIDI controllers only trigger sounds from computers / laptops / other modules, so you will always need a mac or pc connected to process the sounds.
It's a very simple process.
1) Open Analog Lab (sandalone or plugin)
2) Click the icon of 3 lines on the top left corner
3) Click IMPORT
4) Select the Floyd Keys Deluxe Soundbank File
All of the files will be imported at once.

Samples are simple .wav files and there are several ways you can use them. Most of these are intended as one shot samples for you to trigger as special sound effects to enhance the Floydian experience.
The way I triggered these live is by adding them to audio clips in audio tracks on Ableton Live, then I mapped the play button for these clips to pads on my Keylab (Cmd+M takes you to MIDI assign mode).
There are other ways to use samples, I recommend that you take some time to research about sampling, it's worth it.

Yes it works on both Windows and Mac (Apple) systems.
FREE BONUS WAV SAMPLES
Intros, cues and other sound effects.
Playing Time or Money without the iconic introductions wouldn't be the same. The audience is really really familiar with those sounds, so to play Floyd live, those samples are kind of mandatory.
Some of these I found on the internet, some I sampled myself from the songs, some I made from other sound effects.
Neatly organized, leveled out volumes, convenient fade ins / outs.
All ready to use without any hassle.
* I don't have any business affiliation with Pink Floyd and I don't own any rights to any of Pink Floyd's music. I'm not selling their content. These samples are free, intended to help out other musicians who want to play Floyd live with their initial setup.
WHO IS BEHIND FLOYD KEYS DELUXE?
Hello! I'm Allan, I make a living helping keyboardists worldwide.
I took a leap of faith, leaving behind a promising career in biomedicine to follow my heart and dedicate my life to music.
My adventure began when I joined a Pink Floyd tribute band in 2016 and I played over 200 live shows in the span of six years. It was a deep dive into the complex and captivating soundscapes of progressive rock, which has since become the foundation of my work.
Today I create keyboard
sound packs
that capture the soul of my favorite prog rock bands, and
teach music and sound design, helping my students and friends from all over the world grow.
