WatKat is a digital "clone" of a Wem Watkins "Custom" Copicat. It sounds very lo-fi, noisy, irregular. When you turn it off and leave the tape loaded, the tape bends in proximity of the capstan, and this turns into a periodic pitch fall during echo playback; plus, it gets hot and the background hum gets worse over time... you should turn it off every now and then; the tape is never completely erased, and the capstan motor flutters... and it gets worse if you touch it while it's spinning; heads tend to get dirty very soon, in fact you should clean them often. This is true for the actual hardware unit, and for the digital simulation as well!

Electric Grand EG70 is a physical modeling simulation of a CP-70 electro-acoustic baby grand touring piano. EG70 has a very natural response to keyboard dynamics and to the player's style. You'll hear the benefits of physical modeling mostly when the sustain pedal is in use. The sound is warm and metallic at the same time, unpredictable, rich and natural like only a real piano can be. Main features: Full Polyphony (73 notes). Adjustable sympathetic resonances. Realistic response to keyboard dynamics. Adjustable global tuning. Four dynamic curves available. Realistic control panel with ... [more]

GSi describes Key Performer as "the Swiss Army knife of the modern gigging keyboardist". It's a single software instrument which offers a wide variety of keyboard sounds that are used in almost all musical genres where a keyboardist is involved. To summarize a few of its key features, it offers: Several classic keyboard sounds including pianos, electric pianos, synths, organs, etc. A sample playback section (aka "ROMpler") with "adaptive playback". A physical modeling classic Electric Piano. A physical modeling "Wurly" piano. A phase modulation syn... [more]

Miles'tone is a simulation of a trumpet. It is based on a mixed use of traditional synthesis and physical modeling synthesis, but most importantly it reflects the behaviour of a real trumpet, reacts to pitch changes and air pressure in a very natural way, and has a nice and warm timbre. It has been conceived to work with a Wind Controller but it can also be played with a traditional MIDI keyboard thanks to the built-in dedicated envelope generator. Miles'tone doesn't use any samples.... [more]
MrDonald is a virtual rotary speaker - it simulates the famous Leslie Speaker. It features adjustable tone, acceleration, minimum and maximum speed for both the bass and the treble speakers, adjustable stereo width and balance between bass and treble. It also has MIDI control and an animated GUI.... [more]
MrRay is a Fender Rhodes piano simulation. Features: Four types of Pickups for Rhodes Mark I, Mark II, Wurlitzer and FM (DX7) simulation. Adjustable pickup symmetry and distance, mallet hardness and hammer noise. Wah-wah effect. Distortion. Phaser / Flanger (synchronizable to host tempo). Tremolo / Auto-Pan (synchronizable to host tempo). Stereo Delay (synchronizable to host tempo). ... [more]
MrRay SeventyThree is a Rhodes Mark I emulation. This version of MrRay is characterized by a series of "imperfections" introduced in order to capture, with the highest possible fidelity, the sound of a Mark I. There are mallet noises, wooden noises, metallic artifacts and changes of volume for each single note. Also, the lower notes have a particular "growl" when you hit them hard, and when you hit more keys really hard, you'll hear them "vibrating", originally due to the instability of the harp assembly inside the real instrument. You won't hear the exact same ... [more]
| Product: | MrRay73 Mark II |

MrRay73 Mark II is a digital simulation of the famous american electro-mechanical piano of the seventies. This is the second version of MrRay73, with a huge difference in sound and functionality. Summary of the main features: Full Polyphony (73 notes E - E). No note-stealing. Adjustable single sound elements (metal, wood, pedal and damper noises). Sympathetic resonance and harp vibration. Sustain pedal re-pedaling feature. Six-stage vintage style Phaser effect. Dual mode Tremolo effect. Power amp simulation (Suitcase model). Adjustable wear of mallets and other elements (Piano Age). ... [more]
MrTramp is a Wurlitzer Electric Piano model 200 simulation. It is a physical model, which means that the sound you hear is 100% generated in real time. No samples at all. MrTramp features all the nuances and colorations of the real instrument, such as the noise of the hammers, the noise of the dampers, certain inconsistencies between a note and the next one. The last 5 notes (from G#6 to C7) don't have dampers so they're not stopped when the respective keys are released. Features a built-in tremolo with adjustable intensity, fixed at 6 Hz.... [more]
