AudioThing Wurly - Vintage Electric Piano, Wurlitzer Plugin - Update v1.1

[audiojunkie]

I love that this has Linux Support!!

[audiothing]

It's a great addition! The OD sounds very nice. Any special reason that the FX rack doesn't include a Roland type chorus?

Thank you. There's just not enough space for all the effects that could be used I used my Wurlitzers mostly with the type of effects I've included, but we also have plans for a dedicated Chorus/Ensemble plugin.

Refactoring everything to make the Linux port possible helped tremendously. It also made the iOS port much easier.

Glad you're enjoying it!

I´d like to say how much like how your shop, our accounts, the updates, and all THAT info around that is arranged !
Good work !

the more plugins i have, the higher i rate the devs who have a sense for those little things, and the more i try to avoid the firms that just don´t get it.

I just checked if there is an update for the wurly. Stumbled over same experience again.
You help me to still like my computer for music making

Thanks !

So true. Audio Thing is an absolute top developer and those non-plugin experience items don't go unnoticed here either. Top customer experience.

Thank you!!

i'm having heaps of fun with Wurly thank you!
so easy to dial in.
I'm frequently using it as my default songwriting instrument, often replacing Lounge Lizard.
very cool

any thoughts of doing a Clav in the future?

Thank you! I've actually never played a Clavinet. I only saw one once in my tech's studio while he was fixing it. Not sure

But I definitely have plans for a Pianet T! I can't wait to hear that sound with a proper sustain pedal

My mom used to play piano and organ. I fired up this and Philicorda for her to play over the holidays and she had so much fun with them.

Particularly with Philicorda she said it reminded her of the organ she used to have in her house as a kid. Don’t remember which exact organ it was, but it had all the switches and wood foot pedals.

Thanks for sharing! A lot of organs from that period used top octave generator designs, so they often had a very similar sound.

Digging deep into young childhood memories:

I remember it was pretty large and at the time it was a fairly expensive purchase. I think they financed it like a car. I asked if it was a Hammond and she was certain it wasn’t. I remember that it was amplified and had a speaker grille that faced your feet above the foot pedals and also had some smaller speakers at chest height that flanked the top row of keys. It got plenty loud for home use.

I’m actually going to go visit my uncle and aunt on her side next week, and will try and get to the bottom of what specific organ that was. It would have been purchased in the vicinity of the late 1950s or early 1960s I think.

Since we're making a little OT detour to 'organ memories corner', my formative organ 'seed moment' dates back to the mid 'sixties and a Saturday school dance. 1964, maybe?

The band this memorable evening marked the irretrievable transition of young people's preferred dance music from dixieland to "pop".

The organ player was standing behind a bright red Vox with 'negative' keys, on a Z-shaped chrome stand. I was thunderstruck. And boy, could the guy play.

In fact, he went on to a rather OK career as a keyboardist and composer. But in those days, he was not yet a household name: Benny Andersson, of later ABBA fame.

As far as I understand, string machines use the same (or very similar) technology and architecture. I’d love to see you bring out a string machines with a true ensemble effect! Any chance you have an interest? Since we lost Loomer, we don’t have a quality string machine for Linux.

Yes, pretty much the same technology. We actually already have a string machine

It might be a bit less known, but it is a nice little synth. The ensemble effect is quite different from the more common classic BBD chorus and ensemble designs.

Res-09 is really nice imo, gonna pick that up at some point.
