Boscomac has announced the release of two new free electric piano sound libraries for Native Instruments Reaktor.

Boscomac’s Wurlitzer and Clavinet type electric pianos for Reaktor 5.

WURLITSAR is an electric piano belonging to the Wurlitzer family. It delivers a sound which is both round and warm. Shake it a little bit and it will show you its bluesy side. Add a little tremolo and you’ll find yourself on a boat, vibrating on the ocean…

CLAVINESS is an electric piano belonging to the Clavinet family. Its main asset is its range of sounds, from round to lively, and its unstoppable attacks which snap in the ear. It is a tremendous instrument for a keyboardist who likes to strike the keys with the elbows and the knees!

Both ensembles are available to download at no cost. Donations are appreciated.
