PurgatoryCreek Soundware Mark I (1975) [KONTAKT]

An authentic recreation of this most sought-after classic electro-mechanical piano. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Mark I (1975) was deeply sampled at 19 velocity levels recorded for the full duration.

The electro-mechanical piano, upon which this sample-set is based, was manufactured in 1975, a year considered by many to be the golden era for this instrument. It featured the coveted Torrington tines.

The Purgatory Creek Soundware Mark I (1975) was deeply sampled at 19 velocity levels recorded for the full duration, so you will hear neither loops nor artificial envelope decays. Nearly every note of the piano was sampled and eight velocity layers of note-off release samples are included. The instrument uses 69MB of RAM and requires 930MB of free disk space.

You will find a three-band equalizer, volume for the release samples and a velocity curve dialog box which allows the user to adjust the instrument to respond to touch. In addition, each has controls for the stereo vibrato, phaser and reverb effects. Finally, a number of amp simulations are provided.
