The reason for this was the fact that we wanted to be able to offer presets with extreme treble EQ settings without having extra noise – and without hurting any part of the recordings. We spend an enormous amount of time cleaning the samples for noise – each sample went through four stages, where the last two were done by hand. There are harder strikes (compared to Scarbee Mark 1) - as well as softer ones. We wanted to have the best possible sustain on each key, perfect balance of tone and as much bark too. Scarbee Classic EP-88s has more samples, greater dynamics and more keys – 88 of them! (compared to Scarbee Mark 1) Anyone who has tried to restore an instrument like this knows that the lowest and highest octaves take as much time as the rest of the keys put together – It's a true battle where you need a lot of patience, lots of spare parts and some luck too. 88 keys, 30 velocities and 8294 samples.Flexible on-board effects with alternate routings.True Horizontal Release Sample Technology.Go on over and check it out, and if you’re an EP fanatic like me, you gotta have this in your library without question. There’s even a pre-attack parameter that lets you dial in how much of the “pre noise” you want to have when you press the key, it imitates the sound you hear just before the hammer hits the tines…man…sick! I love all of the functionality they put under the hood into the scripting, and though all of it may not be controllable from the front panel (though much of it is) it really just adds to how it sounds and feels when you play it. It doesn’t cover multiple instruments, and doesn’t have thousands of presets, but I will tell you that this thing is just pure fun to play, it really does sound great. Some things are really hard to explain, but once you play it and feel how it responds you’ll get what I mean. I give Classic EP-88s 5 out of 5 subs, this library quickly shot to the top of my personal favorites list as soon as I started playing it. I will tell you, this may not seem to have a lot of “bells and whistles” on the surface, but it has everything you need to get an amazing sounding EP. Those of you that have been around me for a while know I’m an EP nut, I own an actual Rhodes which I love, yet I still like to checkout various libraries. To sum it all up, it sounds amazing and true to life. This really does impact the sound you hear when you play. Just the way the keys respond to velocity so smoothly, I never felt like there was a velocity range that wasn’t represented while playing. The way this library responds to your playing adds to the sound, even though that isn’t an actual sound in and of itself. The playability is something to truly appreciate. I’m an Ep fanatic, specifically, the Rhodes…and the level of detail here is pretty amazing.įrom the various noises of the tines, hammers, and mechanical key action, to the overall tone and quality of the instrument, it all works together to provide a super inspiring sound. Man, the sound of this instrument is so authentic and natural sounding, I’m totally in love! format: Kontakt Player 5, Kontakt 5, NKS.
Oh, you can also switch between high end and “old” cables, as well as a more vintage sounding set of samples. Not to mention pedal up/down fx, build in amp fx, chorus, wah, reverb, etc. So imagine the sample upon quick release sounding different than the sample when releasing a sustained note. In addition to being recording in high detail, they also have things like release samples, and various playing engines under the hood that interact with how you play. This is almost like a follow-up to the original Scarbee Mark I library, but with a lot more detail and functionality under the hood.
