For Electric Piano Bass, the model is a stunning red sparkle edition, which IK captured to convey all its low-end mojo and responsiveness. The Piano Bass employed the same design as the Rhodes Piano, using hammers to strike metal tines. For Stage 73 Mark V, IK’s super deep multi-velocity sampling techniques were applied to a beautifully maintained original Rhodes Mark V to reproduce this highly regarded electric piano in all its sonic glory.Įlectric Piano Bass is based on the Rhodes Piano Bass, which appeared in 1960 as a way for keyboard players to cover the bass part on a dedicated instrument, its 32 keys covering the most widely used range of a bass. It’s known for having the brightest and clearest tone of all the Rhodes models. Stage 73 Mark V is a deep sampling of the Rhodes Mark V electric piano, the last “real Rhodes” model that was produced by Harold Rhodes in the mid-1980s. There are no loops, only full-length samples of a revered instrument in prime playing condition. For Electromagnetik, IK sampled an immaculate example of a ’70s Yamaha CP70B electric grand with eight real velocities across the keyboard.

What they share is the beauty of their design, one that uses electromagnetic pickups and the vibrations of hammers hitting metal strings, tines, or reeds to deliver pleasing tones to the listener.Įlectric Grand C70P is based on a Yamaha CP70B electric grand, which was developed in the ’70s for stage pianists desiring the depth of expression of hammers hitting strings but at volumes that could compete with the rest of any band. Spanning four decades of electric stage piano history, the keys in this collection each offer their own distinct sound and vibe, which you won’t find in any other SampleTank collection.

Though available separately, together these instruments offer significant savings and will provide the composer and musician with an inspiring collection of distinctive keyboard sounds from over 4.5 GB of sample content and 80 SampleTank 4 instrument presets.Įlectromagnetik features four meticulously maintained instruments specifically chosen for their individuality and contrast from the personal collection of IK keyboard guru, Erik Norlander.
