Following the steps of our B-5 Organ and VTines MK1, we released another Electric Piano instrument using modeling techniques and samples as the sound source.
We combined synthesis techniques and sampling to achieve a high level of playability, a completely continuous response (no velocity splits) and allows for advanced note by note tweaking while maintaining a realistic sound all while keeping a very small size of 70MB for two models.
VReeds is based on real samples of two Wurlitzer models, a 200 and a 200A. They were both fully restored with original and well adjusted Reeds, and had a precise action that allowed for a perfect sampling while keeping all of the vintage Wurlitzer sound characteristics.
Modeled Vibrato
We carefully reproduced the shape of the original vibrato circuit. On the original 200, the vibrato rate is fixed, but just like the very common mod, we decided to extend the vibrato capabilities and add a rate control which can be linked to the tempo.
Speakers
The stereo amps of Suitcase Electric Pianos have a very recognizable sound. They captured different microphone positions and distances to cover most of the real life recording placements.
On the 200 and 200A models, there are two small Speakers on each side of the front plate, on the 206 and 206A (beige models), there is a bigger speaker cabinet below the keyboard. Both options were captured in both mono or stereo.
FX Pedalboard
Electric pianos are often used with FX, so we created an FX panel with the most common ones, each of them is one of the very efficient and high quality FXs made by UVI.
Precise adjustments
Modeling also means customization. That is why you can alter the sound of the vreeds like you would on a real electric piano and in a very easy way.
You can adjust many different parameters for each note, for all notes or using a mapper for each parameter.
Check out the video demo here:
As well as a comparison between a real 200 and the VReeds EP
And the audio demos:
The vreeds is available at an introductory price of 99€ / $119, owners of our "Wurlie" library get a 50% discount automatically applied to their cart.
