Vintage Electric is a new virtual instrument based on a reproduction of a vintage electric piano Fender Rhodes Mark I (1976) with a full range of dynamics (from soft to distorted sounds), release noise and pedal resonance.

THE SOUND 

THE INSTRUMENT

Music first!

"Vintage Electric" is based on an old Fender Rhodes Mark Ielectric piano made in 1976.

EDITING

Composing the sound

I used up to 16 dynamic layersfor each note of the instrument; a dynamic response control and effects

SETTINGS

Find your own sound

To find out the best sounds from the piano I had to work with the screwdriver note by note

ENVELOPES

Play it again Sam!

All the samples of the Vintage Electric has been recorded for all the duration for a natural decay of sounds.

RECORDING

Take it!

I recorded my "Vintage Electric" ny amazing Apogee Symphony I/O mkii sound card for the best audio resolution and musical details.

PRESETS

All the sounds you need

The 4 presets allow the musician to find his own sound: from soft sound to hard and distorted. The presets with "Envelope" in the name don't use the "Note Off velocity" for resonance (forcontroller keyboard with fixed Note Off velocity trasmission).

ANALYSIS

Observation!

By a careful analysis of the sound I found a great variation of the harmonic spectrumduring the dynamic range of the tines.
