Elektrik Piano unites four of the most beloved E-pianos of all time into one high-performance software instrument, which reproduces in exacting detail the sounds of the Fender Rhodes MK ITM and MK IITM, Hohner Clavinet E7TM, and the Wurlitzer A 200TM. To this day these vintage classics possess a magical allure, and withElektrik Piano these sounds are playable from any laptop or desktop computer. Elektrik Piano is based on the award-winning high-performance sampling technology from Native Instruments, making 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 and 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.
After downloading the free DFD extension Elektrik Piano is able to play large libraries of sound directly from the hard drive. This makes it possible to use large instruments independently of the amount of RAM. Using DFD, all Elektrik Piano instruments will load many times faster than RAM-based instruments allowing direct playback. The four knobs on the left side of the Elektrik Piano interface are multifunctional. For maximum ease of use, these knobs are designated to varying effect parameters - depending on the preset. This allows you to quickly alter the sound of a patch; e.g. set the amount of reverb or phaser, lower the delay feedback, tweak the equalizer by adjusting the bass and treble knobs - or even modulate the depth of a filter cutoff.
