AudioThing has introduced a new virtual instrument that emulates of the famous Wurlitzer electric pianos from the ’60s and ’70s.
Faithfully capturing the distinct, soulful tone and dynamic feel of the original instruments, Wurly includes both the classic 200 and the refined 200A models.
Wurly provides a comprehensive set of controls for shaping the electric elements of the sound, including pickup emulation, envelope settings, and the iconic built-in tremolo (historically mislabeled as ‘Vibrato’). The geometry of the pickup and reed has been precisely modeled to ensure maximum authenticity. The electric section uses physical modeling techniques to capture the true behavior and sound of the original instruments.
It also offers detailed control over the mechanical aspects, such as hammer, key, pedal noises, and clank section. The Mechanical section uses both physical models and samples to fine-tune each nuance of the piano’s character, adding depth and realism to the emulation.
We have also carefully sampled the speakers on each model so you can blend the direct sound with the speaker sound.
Available for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP), Wurly is on sale for the intro price of 39 USD/EUR for a limited time (regular 59 USD/EUR). The iOS/AUv3 version is $12.99 USD at the App Store until July 9th, 2024 (regular $19.99 USD).
