PurgatoryCreek Soundware Reed EP 140b [KONTAKT]

An authentic recreation of this wonderful, vintage keyboard from the 1960s. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Reed EP 140b provides ten sustain velocity layers and an additional seven release sample layers.

The 140b electric piano, produced in the early to mid-1960s, uses steel reeds to generate its tone. Though the later 200 and 200a models were more common, the 140 series electric pianos can be heard on numerous recordings made in the 1960s. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Reed EP 140b provides ten sustain velocity layers and an additional seven release sample layers.

Each note of the 64 note piano was recorded for full duration, providing an accurate sound with no artificial decay envelopes or sample loops. The instrument uses 44MB of RAM and requires 465MB 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 tremolo, phaser and reverb effects. Finally, a number of amp simulations are provided.
