$13 for Alicia's Keys? WTF?

Nice. Could it be a price error?
I've read that it's very good. Has anyone here got it yet?

It's been out for over a decade so lots of us, probably!

 

It's good. Very playable and a distinctive, tight timbre. Not one I'd pull up to practice with, but good at fitting in with other spunds imo.

 

I wouldn't buy it at full or even half price because I  think you can get a lot more for $50. But I'd def pay $13 for it!

Just bought Alicia's Keys. Sounds good from breif initial auditions of the presets. I also got UAD's Polymax as a freebie and 50p back in virtual cash. 

No brainer.

If you dont have it with komplete ultimate etc - this is real no brain deal, hope for something new for this prize ;))

What are the odds this is moved into the regular Komplete tier?

No.

To me it always felt clunky.  But I'm a Pianoteq snob

I think Alicia's Keys has been in the Ultimate or above tiers for a while now (not Standard or Select). That particular library was the reason I bumped up my initial Komplete purchase way back when. For $13, Alicia's Keys is an incredibly good deal. It is very versatile stand-alone, but even more so with an external FX chain and/or layered with other instruments.

People on VI-C are layering sampled pianos with the resonance engine from Pianoteq:

I have yet to try it myself, but it sounds really good and makes me excited to waste a lot of time trying it on every one of those 217 piano libraries I own.
