Native Instruments Elektrik Piano

Reproduces in exacting detail the sounds of the Fender Rhodes MK I and MK II, Hohner Clavinet E7, and the Wurlitzer A 200. To this day these vintage classics possess a magical allure, and with Elektrik Piano these sounds are playable from any laptop or desktop computer.

Based on the award-winning high-performance sampling technology from Native Instruments, Elektrik Piano makes for an unrivalled authentic playback of the original instruments. Each individual key of the hardware predecessors has been meticulously sampled to include the entire release phase at various velocity levels. Release samples reproduce the sound made when a key is released, enhancing authenticity and playability. Depending on the instrument, Elektrik Piano offers various effects for creating instrument-specific effect sounds, including chorus, reverb, phaser, and tremolo. Each instrument also includes a wide selection of ready-to-play presets, which can be grouped into individual performance sets for quick recall of presets during live performance using the computer function keys or a MIDI controller. Altered sound settings can be saved as new presets.

Impressive sound, uncomplicated operation, and support for all professional interfaces make Elektrik Piano the first choice for studio and stage. Whether standalone or as a plug-in with multiple instances in a sequencer -- Elektrik Piano combines the classic sounds of these vintage E-pianos with the power of modern computer-based music production.

For each instrument the NI sound designers created a wide range of presets and sound variations, using various effects and modulation. You will find versions that use high-quality reverb, phaser, flanger, chorus, delay, equalization, distortion, and pitch-shifting, as well as typical-sounding instruments from known musicians and songs.
