Four classics – one software

Electrik Piano unites the four most beloved E-pianos of all time into one high-performance software instrument, which reproduces in exacting detail the sounds of the Fender Rhodes MK I™ and MK II™, Hohner Clavinet E7™, and the Wurlitzer A 200™. These vintage classics have retained their magical allure to this day, and with Electrik Piano their authentic sound and feel are attainable with a laptop or desktop computer.

Powerful sample engine

Electrik Piano’s engine is based on KONTAKT 2 - Native Instruments' award winning sampler. Each individual key of the hardware predecessors has been meticulously sampled to include the entire release phase at various velocity levels, ensuring incredibly authentic and dynamic playback of the original instruments.

Effects and presets

Electrik Piano offers plenty of effects for individual instrument customization. Depending on the instrument, these include chorus, reverb, phaser, MIDI-controllable tremolo, wah-wah and more. Additionally, highly authentic impulse-response rooms and cabinet simulations lend Electrik Piano even further depth and detail.

Each instrument also includes a wide selection of vivid, ready-to-play presets, which can be grouped into individual performance sets for quick recall of presets during live performance. Altered sound settings can be saved as new presets.

For stage and studio

Vivid sound, uncomplicated operation, and support for all professional interfaces make Electrik Piano the first choice for studio and stage. Whether standalone or as a plug-in with multiple instances in a sequencer – Electrik Piano combines the authentic sounds of these vintage E-pianos with the power of modern computer-based music production.
