Westwood Instruments has released a new Kontakt Player-powered instrument library featuring the sounds of a rare vintage classic electric piano, reinvented for today.
With only a small handful ever made, this 1970s electric piano was specifically made for use in the home. The sound you know and love with some added warmth and a unique mojo. The traditional sound of this rare piano has been captured with our reputed attention to detail. We also recorded an innovative technique of meticulously hand-muting the metal tone bars, unlocking a distinct percussive sound which is unlike any other electric piano.
Included are a set of complimentary textural sounds, crafted from the original recordings which take this classic electric piano into a completely new and exciting space.
Electric Home Piano was built with Westwood’s freshly designed Evergeen framework, a universal engine and interface for its acoustic and orchestral based sampled instruments.
