EP-78: Recreating the Classic Electric Piano Sound by Samsara Cycle Audio
Immerse yourself in the world of vintage electric pianos with the EP-78 plugin from Samsara Cycle Audio.
This instrument was created with a single goal: to convey the authentic feel
of classic electric pianos that have left an indelible mark on music history.
EP-78 doesn’t just imitate the sound; it recreates its essence, offering a unique approach
to timbre and dynamics.
Not a Sample, but a Sound Created from Scratch
Unlike many modern virtual instruments based on
large sample libraries (Rompler), EP-78 takes a different path.
It generates its characteristic tone using a set of precisely tuned frequencies.
This synthesized approach allows for flexibility and control over the sound,
which imitates the subtle timbral changes that naturally occur in a real
electric piano under the influence of performance dynamics. The harder you press a key,
the more pronounced these changes become, giving your performance realism and vibrancy.
Deep Control Over the Sound
EP-78 gives you intuitive tools for sculpting your perfect electric piano sound.
Thanks to various controls, you can fine-tune
every detail:
- Timbre: Allows you to vary the tonal quality of the sound,
opening up a wide range of shades – from soft and rounded to bright and piercing. - Phase: Affects the effect of the pickup phase, adding
unique texture and space to the tone, as if you are changing the position
of the microphone near the speaker. - Decay: Controls the decay time of a note, simulating
the natural behavior of an acoustic instrument’s envelope, allowing you to create
both short, staccato sounds and long, singing melodies. - Treble and Bass: Classic tone controls,
which make it possible to adjust the overall frequency balance of the instrument,
making the sound warmer or brighter as you wish.
Special Vibrato and Emphasis Effect
To add movement and expressiveness, EP-78 is equipped with a vibrato section.
This is not just a standard effect; it has a simple but effective design.
The central element of this section is the Emphasis switch.
By activating it, you add a vibrato of a unique character to the sound, which
is somewhere between the effects of a phaser and a chorus.
This subtle effect is capable of giving your electric piano parts extra
interest and depth, perfectly complementing the vintage sound of the instrument.
