ElectriKeys Electric Piano VSTi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
ElectriKeys is an Electric Piano emulation based on vintage Fender
Rhodes MK1™, Hohner Clavinet D6™, Wurlitzer™ and
Yamaha™ CP-70 e-pianos. Available for Windows and Linux based
VST/FST hosts.
Features
Features
Sound is generated via a hybrid method that combines synthesis and
sampling techniques, to create the most realistic sounds of these
vintage electric pianos.
EP Selector. One instrument offering the sound of four legendary e-pianos:
Fender Rhodes™ Electric Piano (Stage Piano Mark I)
Hohner Clavinet D6™
Wurlitzer™ Electric Piano
Yamaha™ CP-70 Electric Grand Piano (Brilliance: Mellow, Normal and Bright)
Tremolo Section: Recreates the classic effect (which was called vibrato
on the real Rhodes™ front panel). Contains a LFO (Low Frequency
Oscillator) with modulation depth, frequency and offset. The panning
slider controls the output effect distribution between left and right
speaker and to help create a broad spectrum of stereo tremolo
effects.
5-Band Parametric Equalizer: EQ composed of five parametric filters
with Frequency, Bandwidth and Gain knobs. Equalization allows you to
lower or raise the volume of specific frequency ranges for bass and
treble manipulation. Also contains global gain wheel to adjust the
overall volume (Turn the wheel to right to boost a band, or to left to
decrease its level).
Decay & Release Time: Decay sets the note decay while the key is
pressed. Release sets the release (fade out) time after the key is
released, offering unique tone to each player.
32 presets for Tremolo effects and Parametric EQ ready to play.
Creating new sounds is as simple as combining these presets in
different ways and tweaking any associated parameters from there as
desired.
Signal's Harmonic Spectrum (Freq. analyzer)
FULL MIDI Automation: Complete MIDI Continuous Controller. Every parameter can be controlled via MIDI or host automation.
" E L E C T R I K E Y S " is based on 4 Vintage Electric Pianos
1) Fender Rhodes Mark I™ (1969-1975)
The Fender Rhodes product line evolved quickly as the 1970's began. The
73-key Electric Piano was renamed the Fender Rhodes Suitcase Piano in
1969, featuring a black harp cover and a stereo 80W amp, and by 1970
the Fender Rhodes Mark I Stage Piano was available. The Stage Piano was
the piano top from the Suitcase model, modified for use with an
external guitar or bass amplifier. The Stage model featured detachable
legs (parts from a Fender pedal steel guitar), a sustain pedal and
pushrod (part of a Rogers hi-hat stand), and a simplified front panel
with only volume and bass EQ controls. Internally, the Stage Piano was
nearly identical to the Suitcase model. Over the last few decades, the
electric piano has played a central role in music of all types, from
jazz/fusion and funk, to rock and dance. The Rhodes was used much in
jazz-fusion throughout the 1970s. Chick Corea's album Light as a
Feather and Miles Davis's In a Silent Way featured the Rhodes
throughout the whole album. Joe Zawinul of Weather Report, Jan Hammer
of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Herbie Hancock also used the
Rhodes.
Classic Rhodes™ Effects
The piano's clean tone is what you hear on many essential Fender Rhodes
recordings, but definitely not all of them. The Rhodes sounds even
better with the right amp and effects. The Suitcase Vibrato was the
original Rhodes effect, built into all versions of the Suitcase piano
(as well as Stage models with the Super Satellite & Janus I
systems). The idea behind the Vibrato was to simulate a rotating
speaker, although the actual sound was quite different. The first
version of the Vibrato was in mono, a tremolo effect that varied the
amplitude of the piano's output in a square-wave pattern. When the
Suitcase amps went stereo in 1969, this pattern was translated into a
panning effect. Front-panel controls were provided for Speed and
Intensity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Hohner Clavinet D6™ (Image Copyright by Electronic Edge Vintage Keys )
Musician and inventor, Ernst Zacharias, designed the first of these,
the Cembalet, in the 1950’s. This was intended to be a portable,
amplifiable version of the Cembalo, or Harpsichord. This worked by
plucking the end of a flat reed with the key, which was then picked up
and amplified in much the same way as an electric guitar. A little
later came the Pianet. Both the "CH" and "N" models once again used
flat reeds, but employed a very different plucking/striking action.
When a key was depressed it engaged a "sticky pad" with foam backing
which actually stuck to the reed. When the key was released, the pad
came unstuck causing the reed to vibrate which was then amplified. The
Pianet model "T" came much later and utilized the suction of a soft
rubber pad onto the reed. This was somewhat superior to the "N" and
"CH" models, but still had several drawbacks. Although made very
popular by bands such as the Zombies and Small Faces, there
wasn’t much dynamism available from the keyboard. As all the
reeds were damped upon release, this negated the possibility of
obtaining sustain via a foot pedal.
The D6 was later superseded by the model E6 and the Clavinet/Pianet
Duo. These were basically the same, but more roadworthy and better
protected against proximity hums and generally quieter than previous
models. However, these models came just a bit too late on the scene in
the age of electronics to be as successful as they deserved to be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Wurlitzer™ Electric Piano
Inventor Benjamin Miessner had designed an amplified conventional
upright piano in the 1930s, and Wurlitzer used his electrostatic pickup
design, but replaced the strings with struck steel reeds. The
instrument entered production in 1955 as the EP-112 and continued to be
produced in various forms until about 1982 when production of the
EP-200A ceased.
The Wurlitzer piano is usually a 64-note instrument whose keyboard
range is from A an octave above the lowest note of a standard 88-note
piano to the C an octave below the top note of an 88-note piano. Tone
production in all models comprises a single steel reed for each key,
activated by a miniature version of a conventional grand piano action
and forming part of an electrostatic pickup system using a DC voltage
of 170v. A mechanical sustain pedal similar to that of a conventional
piano is fitted
Compared with its erstwhile rival, the (Fender) Rhodes electric piano,
the Wurlitzer has a brighter, more hollow sound. When played gently the
sound can be quite sweet and vibraphone-like, becoming more aggressive
with harder playing. In a pop or rock band setting with guitar(s), bass
and drums the Wurlitzer has a distinctive and clear sound where a
Rhodes would tend to blend in. However it has also been used
successfully in MOR ballads and even country music.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Yamaha CP70™ Electric Grand
The quest for a portable piano has been around since the invention of
the Fender Rhodes and the Wurlitzer. Of course, neither of these
actually sound like pianos... they have a pleasant sound that is
'piano-like' but in no way are they a substitute for the real thing.
Several companies tried all sorts of things (including some fairly
horrible electronic things) but it wasn't until Yamaha released their
CP70 'Electric Grand Piano' in the mid-'70s that I had something
approaching a 'real' piano that could be toured around and amplified
easily without any difficult mic techniques.
There were three models in the product's lifetime... the original CP70
(73-note keyboard) which was superceded by the CP70B (with balanced
outputs) and the CP80 (a full 88-note keyboard version).

abruptly, when a new key is pressed or MIDI note sent. When turned to
the far left, there are no pitch transitions - new notes immediately
play at their "correct" pitch. If turned to the right, the glide time
increases - new notes are triggered at the pitch of the previous note,
and then gradually glide to the pitch of the played note, quickly or
slowly, depending on the setting of this knob.
Delay Effect Built-in: with Modulation (Varies the delay time dynamically- 0 to 10V ) and Amount of Feedback controls.
On-screen MIDI keyboard that can be played with the mouse, or keyboard
(Q is Middle-C, Z two Octaves lower) The 'T' on the left of the
keyboard sets Toggle Mode where each key stays held until you click it
a second time.
Includes 32 internal presets and display "preset name" (Pre-programmed sounds)
Possibility of turn the synth into Mono Mode and Retrigger switch.
Hint Property: Tool tip when the mouse is over a control. You can mouse
over any of the controls anywhere in Zephyrus and this will display a
short description of what that control does.

Virtual Room Emulator VST (Reverb)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
Virtual Room Emulator is a VST reverb plug-in for native PC platforms.
Used to create psycho-acoustic models in the DSP environment.
It simulates the reverberation of a sound in a rectangular type room,
allowing separate control of the room's width, depth and height. It
also allows you to control the distance between the listener and the
sound positioned in that virtual room.
The Virtual Room Emulator section offers control over the size, width,
and damping factor of the room by way of three linkable sliders.
Produces a natural sounding room reverberation effect that gives you
true room perception, from small rooms to large concert halls. Small
rooms have a high percentage of early reflections ( the first feedback
from the closest objects) that can give more body to tracks. It is also
good with acoustic guitars and voices. Larger rooms are better with
strings, or wind instruments and synthesizer pads.
Features:
Reverberation technique that simulates a real acoustic environment of a room.
Separate control of Room's dimensions, produces naturally sounding reverberation.
Early and late reflections, (The sound reflections from walls, floors
and ceilings following a sound created in an acoustically reflective
environment).
Damping to re-create a realistic room (In the context of reverberation,
damping refers to the rate at which the reverberant energy is absorbed
by the various surfaces in the environment).
It uses reverberation engine that does not produce metal harmonics.
32-bit sound processing with sample rate of 96kHz.
16 predefined room configurations that range from tiny to extra large
rooms , allow you to quickly switch between different Virtual Room's
configurations.
The plugin is perfectly suited for any type of audio production when
acoustic space simulation is needed from recording to post
production.
Parameters:
- S i z e : This is the Size ( front - rear distance ) of the room. It ranges 0 to 10 ( smallest to largest)
- W i d t h : This represents the width ( left-right distance) of the room. It ranges 0 (small) to 10 (wide).
- D a m p : ( D a m p i n g f a c t o r ) This is a way to describe the
surface absorption, or how sound is reflected by the walls, floors and
ceilings. A higher Damp setting causes high frequencies to decay
faster. It Ranges 0 (near no absorption) to 10 (high absorption).
- G a t e : Gate Type Input. Only used in Freeze and Gated modes.
- M o d e : Selects between Normal, Freeze and Gated modes.
* Normal: The usual reverb behavior.
* Freeze: When this mode is active,the gate input works as on/off
switch for sustain-like effect. When the gate is low, the reverb works
as normal. When the gate goes high, Virtual Room Emulator freezes the
effect.
* Gated: When in this mode, Virtual Room Emulator only outputs wet
(reverberated) signal when the gate is high. When the gate is set to
low, a little decay is internally applied to smooth the transition back
to, the dry-only state.
- M i x : The proportion of the "Dry/Wet" signal in the output

Il s’agit d’un instrument virtuel compatible VST
conçu pour reproduire des chœurs. Les réglages
permettent de jouer sur la dynamique (staccato, crescendo, etc.) et de
régler l’attaque, l’enveloppe afin de coller
à vos idées. Des pré-réglages permettent de
choisir un chœur d’hommes, de femmes, des voix bizarres
…
Le logiciel coûte 39 dollars.
