Plugin Boutique has launched a sale on the UVI EGP Electric Grand, a virtual instrument that features the sounds of a prepared Yamaha CP-70 portable electric grand piano.

The CP-70 was developed for touring musicians in the 70’s, making use of electric amplification with per-string piezo pickups similar to a guitar. This approach allowed for a much smaller, modular construction perfect for the touring musician. It was, in essence, a 300lb plug-and-play grand piano.

The CP-70 was introduced in the mid 70’s, seeing a positive reception and popularity for over a decade until it, along with its siblings the CP-60 and CP-80, were discontinued shortly after the advent of digital pianos. Most famously used by Peter Gabriel, the CP-70 was a favorite of many pop and prog rock icons including Stevie Wonder, Keith Emerson, Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Asia and Genesis.

EGP Electric Grand features

  • The most comprehensive electric grand ever produced.
  • Fully mixable 5-channel recording provides electric, L/R and M/S signals.
  • 10 prepared piano styles including stick, bow, ebow, brush and more.
