Real Rhodes Now Available in Akai S1000 Format
December 6, 2004
The S1000 Real Rhodes sample CD is the latest release
from Emmy nominated audio engineer Park Peters and fellow programmer Peter
Schouten. The idea for this sample library was to provide quality samples in
the most universal format possible. The S1000 version makes this sample
library of classic keyboard instruments available for quick importing to
musicians who are working with popular soft samplers such as Native
Instruments Kontakt and Propellerheads Reason as well as E-mu hardware
samplers.
The library features several different model Fender Rhodes, DX7 Rhodes,
Wurlitzer, Hohner Clavinet, and Pianet. Amped versions (sampled from a miced
speaker cabinet) are included as well for a "live" sound. Of special note
are hard-to-find, older vintage Fender Rhodes and a perfectly calibrated
Dyno Rhodes.
Other formats of Real Rhodes are now available: Akai S2000, Akai S5000/6000,
Kurzweil K2000, K2VP/K2VX, and K2500/2600 with KDFX. All are native CD
ROMs with fully keymapped and velocity switched sounds and use the different
samplers' proprietary effects engines.
Suggested retail price: $139.00. A Holiday sale is expected as well. For more information, visit their web site at www.pyramid-sound.com. |
