Q Up Arts pledges 50% of 'California Keys™' sales to GlobalGiving's California Wildfire Relief Fund
SAN CLEMENTE, CA, USA: World-class sound collections developer/licensor Q Up Arts is proud to continue trying to make a positive difference during the turbulent year that is 2020 by pledging 50% of the sales of California Keys™ — making musical waves upon release as a cutting-edge KONTAKT PLAYER sample instrument for professional keyboardists and composers, centred around a Fazioli 10-foot grand piano presented in stereo and surround — to GlobalGiving’s California Wildfire Relief Fund (https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/california-wildfire-relief-fund/).
Such sadness is all the more appreciable as the iconic Californian music tech brand co-founder grew up in Cupertino, and still lives in California. Sadly, some of the verdant parks Douglas Morton visited as a child are now a pile of ash. Meanwhile, many of his dear friends are displaced from their homes — some have lost their homes altogether. As a true musician, Douglas Morton poured his sorrow into his music. Making much use of California Keys’ supremely-sampled Fazioli 10-foot grand piano presented in stereo and surround, scripted and designed for maximum expressivity and playability to fit every style of playing — perfect for composing sombre tunes with such subtle expression, he hit upon a bright idea to counter today’s turbulent times: “Why not make California Keys more affordable for musicians so they can also express their troubles through their music and support organisations responding to the California wildfires with their purchase?”
As Q Up Arts’ aforesaid California Wildfire Relief Fund-supporting project ends on October 31, 2020, there has never been a better time than now for anyone to add California Keys to their collection of compositional tools, thankful in the knowledge that the resulting donation to GlobalGiving’s California Wildfire Relief Fund in their name will exclusively support communities impacted by those wildfires burning across Douglas Morton’s beloved California. German giant Native Instruments — creators of the industry-standard KONTAKT platform powering the biggest selection of sampled instruments available — is also California-connected as Native Instruments North America, Inc. operates out of Los Angeles; as such, it is duly donating all serials/licenses for the duration of Q Up Arts’ California Wildfire Relief Fund-supporting project.
Musically moved to end on an exceptionally helpful high note, Q Up Arts itself is also allocating a number of free California Keys downloads to those that have experienced the loss of their homes and studios due to the California wildfires; anyone affected as such can contact Q Up Arts directly.
* California Keys™ can currently be purchased and digitally downloaded as an NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) compatible KONTAKT PLAYER sample instrument at a California Wildfire Relief Fund-supporting project price of $150.00 USD until October 31, 2020 - rising thereafter to $499.00 USD - from here: https://www.quparts.com/California-Keys-Kontakt-Player-vintage-keyboards-p/calikntkt01dl.htm
