Rush Keys Deluxe (New!)

Rush keys deluxe

The best Rush synth sound collection in the world.

Available now!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

SAVE TIME

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.

STANDOUT

Rush fans are hardcore, diehard fans. Play a hundred notes with a bad tone and you'll annoy them, but play one single note with the proper tone will send chills down their spines. They will notice and you will stand our because Tone is King.

SAVE MONEY

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 to spend a fortune to play Rush elegantly, you only need one MIDI Controller. Any MIDI Controller.

BRING OUT EMOTIONS

Music has the power to communicate things we can't express with words, and we all have certain songs which we're emotionally attached to. Hearing those songs played with the right tone can immerse the audience in a truly deep experience.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Over 50 presets for virtual synthesizers, for all of Rush's best songs

WHAT SETS IT APART?

UNPARALELLED QUALITY

This is the biggest, baddest Rush synth sound pack ever made.

I know because I triple checked.


Each and every single preset was carefully crafted and refined, and the effort was made to cover all of Rush's biggest hits.


If you play Rush live with these sounds, it's 99.9% guaranteed you'll hear something like "Wow! The keyboard sounds were fantastic! What keyboard is that? Did you program all them yourself?"

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Vintage analog gear is great, we all know, but it's also very heavy, sensitive to decalibration and damage. As the technology progressed, Geddy streamlined his rig because less gear to carry around makes touring easier and cheaper.


With Rush 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 Geddy used, only as software recreations.

4) All sounds safely stored as presets for instant recalling.

5) One MIDI Controller can do the job. Two would be optimal.

6) Lifetime Access, switch computers, switch controllers, it doesn't matter.

Pricing: $79,99

Legal Disclaimer:


Rush Keys Deluxe is a digital product consisting of a collection of synthesizer presets for virtual instruments (vst's)

The instruments used to craft it were made by the company Arturia.

All presets were crafted by me (Allan Lobo) out of my own initiative.

I don't have any business affiliation with Rush or Geddy Lee.

Geddy Lee has never emitted an opinion on this product.

The purpose of this product is to be the gold standard when it comes to Rush's synthesizer sound, making them available to everyone who wants to play Rush's music live, or musicians/producers that would like to infuse their own original music with Rush's sonic palette.

THE 3 BIG ONES

3 synthesizers standout when it comes to Rush's signature synth sound.


Oberheim 8-Voice, Minimoog Model D, and Moog Taurus 1.


The 8-Voice was Geddy's polyphonic synthesizer, capable of playing 8-note chords.


The Minimoog Model D was Geddy's iconic lead synthesizer, with unmistakable tone and character.


The Taurus, also made by Moog, was Geddy's trusty synth pedal.

Oberheim

The 8-Voice was a compound of 8 units of the Oberheim SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module). One of the earliest polyphonic synthesizers in the market, it has a gorgeous and cushy sounding -12db/oct filter. Oberheim later released newer designs like the OB-1, OB-X and OB-Xa, all of which Geddy tried and used, more prominently the OB-X.


In order to preserve the sonic identity and reach maximum fidelity, the Oberheim polysynth sounds present on Rush Keys Deluxe were made on the OP-Xa, a software recreation of the OB-Xa.

Minimoog

The one and only Minimoog Model D, a staple of 70's prog rock.


The unmistakable leads from Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, Xanadu, The Trees, Jacob's Ladder and more.


With a -24 db/oct filter and iconic glide feature, this is single handedly the most influential synthesizer of all time.


The Minimoog sounds present on Rush Keys Deluxe were made on the Arturia Mini V3.

Taurus

The way to fill the low end gap without adding a 4th musician when Geddy wanted to play keyboards or the 6-string on his double-neck is by using the Taurus, a synthesizer with pedals meant to be played with one's feet, like pipe organs. Geddy's custom Moogerheim was also interfaced with the Taurus, so that he could trigger the Oberheim with the pedal.


The Taurus had the same iconic filter of the Minimoog, but a single oscillator with a distorted sawtooth wave as its foundational sound, which gave it girth and a more sturdy bass.


The Taurus sounds present on Rush Keys Deluxe were made on the Mini V3 by Arturia.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What are the minimum requirements?

    You only need to download Analog Lab by Arturia.


    https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/analoglab/free


    * About computer parameters like processor and RAM memory, I recommend having at least an i5 with 8gb of RAM.


    To use Rush Keys Deluxe with 2 MIDI controllers at once, I recommend at least an I7 with 16gb of RAM. (this is what I use)


    Allan's optimal pick: Macbook Pro, M2 processor with 64GB of RAM


    For more info on computer requirements, consult the Analog Lab page from the Arturia website:


    https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/analoglab-v/overview


  • What is Analog Lab?

    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 standalone, 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

    Analog Lab PRO + V Collection


    The free version is enough to be able to import this sound pack.


    More information on their website:

    https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/analoglab-v/overview


    V Collection is an additional license that gives you further access to customize the sounds, but it's not a requirement to load and play Rush Keys Deluxe.

  • What is the V Collection?

    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.


    * You don't need a full V Collection license to be able to import Rush Keys Deluxe, though I recommend getting it because it's absolutely fantastic and worth it.


    https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/v-collection/overview

  • Will this work with any MIDI Controller?

    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.

  • Does it work with previous versions of V Collection?

    Yes. The only requirement being Analog Lab Pro, 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 license adds is INSIDE ACCESS to CUSTOMIZE presets. If you have V Collection 8 you will be able to play ALL sounds from Rush Keys Deluxe.

  • Can I store the sounds in my keyboard so I don't need to use a computer?

    Unfortunately no. VST's are software instruments that run exclusively inside computers, so it's not possible to simply import the sounds into your keyboard.

  • How do I import the sounds after purchase?

    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 Rush Keys Deluxe Soundbank File


    All of the files will be imported at once.

  • Only about 30 presets showing here, why?

    Arturia recently released  V Collection X with a completely rebuilt Minimoog plugin, the Mini V4.


    Floyd Keys Deluxe was released more than year before this launch, and has many Mini V3 sounds.


    Mini V3 and Mini V4 are not backwards compatible.


    To make sure you see all Mini V3 sounds you need to enable "Include Legacy Sounds".


    1) Click the "hamburger" (3 white lines) on the top left corner of Analog Lab

    2) Enable Include Legacy Sounds and you will see that the remaining Mini V3 sounds will appear normally.


    * I am in the process of remaking all V3 sounds on V4, though it will take some time. You will get all of these sounds for free, being a Rush Keys Deluxe owner.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING

WHO IS BEHIND RUSH KEYS DELUXE?

Allan Lobo

Keyboardist / Sound Designer

I gave up my career in Biomedicine to follow my heart and work exclusively with music.


Long story short, I lived for a year in the USA and when I came back in 2016 a local Floyd tribute band invited me to become their keyboardist. I had to make up for my yet undeveloped playing by having outstanding sounds, so I taught myself sound design through the Arturia V Collection.


I make tutorials and other videos for Youtube, create premium sound packs for the V Collection and the Roland Fantom, and teach keyboard and sound design classes in Brazil.
