Where to get itIncluded with FL Studio. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.image-line.com

FL Keys is a realistic piano simulator plugin that plays back multi-sampled sounds with low CPU and memory usage. It functions as a specialized sampler designed for keyboard instruments and can be configured to operate as Rhodes or Roto Organ with additional FL Studio modules. The plugin combines decay, release, stereo panning, and tonal shaping controls to deliver expressive acoustic piano behavior.
