Definitely a qualifying contender for audio quality supremacy, the UVI format provides convenience, ease-of-use, and exemplary built-in effects ( including a streamlined version of UVI’s fabulous algorithmic reverb, Sparkverb). This engaging instrument is experienced within the proprietary “UVI Workstation” sample player format, freely downloadable from UVI.net. If you’re looking to own a ‘Logical’ choice for authentic, characterful Wurlitzer realism in-the-box, it can be had for the reasonable price of 79€ / $87 (USD). The tone is rich, well-balanced and precipitates with absolute opulence in the sympathetic response and resonance departments. This painstaking recording process has resulted in a VI ( virtual instrument) that easily reproduces both the feeling and also the sound that we’re looking for tube ampage with the direct mechanical sound intact. The samples were recorded via studio-grade DI into a high end tube-powered preamp * and with a pair of high-grade microphones right above it – all at a sampling rate of 96 kilohertz and 24-bit, bit depth. This is a superb sample library ( again in UVI Workstation format) of a sexy little 64-key model 206A Wurlitzer ®. Wurlie from AcousticSampleS is a virtual instrument for the discriminating vintage-keyboard connoisseur. Of course, being a “Wurlie”, it has that classic, definitive early 70s sound, but with just a teensy bit more attitude and vibe. This here, y’all, is delightfully unique in that it is a meticulously-crafted sample library of a model 206A ‘student’ Wurlitzer. Unlike the majority of Wurlitzer-based virtual instruments available, this is *not* still another tiresome interpretation of the now common “A200” model. Even though the current exchange rate of USD to CAD (at the time of this publication) would result in an amount of $105 (CAD), for some reason e-Instruments’ online store charges a hefty $129 (CAD). If at all possible, I do recommend that Canadian customers purchase using US funds. Each one costs but $79 (USD) / €79 apiece. Enticingly so, their commendable “Session Keys” series of electric pianos are very fairly priced. It’s fair to say that e-Instruments have certainly proven themselves to be top-tier sampling experts since 2010, weaving a pedigree of interest and notability. As a matter of fact, it’s because of the company’s partnership with Native Instruments that e-Instruments gained ground as a relatively new developer at that time. In fairness to software giant, “Native Instruments”, the aforementioned strings & horns libraries’ product pages do cite e-Instruments as the actual creators. ![]() I tend to agree.įor those who might be acquainted with “Session Horns (Pro)” and “Session Strings (Pro)” - badged as Native Instruments products – e-Instruments’ self-branded “Session Keys” series of highly playable electric pianos will not come across as unheard-of- strangers. Q Up Arts claims that it is one of the most expressive piano libraries available – specifically for soft emotive playing and ambient textures. The lion’s share of said 40 gigabytes is owned by the pride’s leader – a punctiliously-sampled 10 ft’ Fazioli grand piano. ![]() And it’s a large surprise – close to 40 Gigabytes’ worth, as a matter of fact. As such, the release of “California Keys” came as somewhat of a surprise to me. It could be said that Q Up Arts has been known more for producing top notch loop libraries, than for compiling VI ( Virtual Instrument) sample libraries. For example, Rhythmic Robot’s celebrated “Emulator II OMI” sample library(s) is the result of a close collaboration between Rhythmic Robot and Q Up Arts. Morton’s work might be familiar to you without your even realizing it. However, Douglas Morton and his small Q Up team have been active in the field for the better part of two decades now. Q Up Arts is not one of the most renowned companies within the sphere of digital sampling – well, not in comparison to prolific names like OrangeTreeSamples, Cinesamples, SonicCouture and their ilk.
