We can't think of many studios that are sufficiently famous to inspire their own ReFill - in fact, Abbey Road is probably the only one that springs to mind.
Propellerhead's latest Reason 3 add-on is a sampled collection of some of the many keyboard instruments to have graced the legendary studio.
These include the Mrs Mills piano, a Challen studio piano, a Hammond RT-3/Leslie Model 122 combo, and even a Mellotron Model 400.
Recorded using classic mics and outboard gear, Abbey Road Keyboards is certainly a fascinating ReFill to explore.
These Combinator patches are bursting with character - far more so than many other sampled keyboards we've played - but before you invest, ask yourself how many of them you actually really need.
