The Electric 88 Piano virtual instrument from Waves is designed to bring you the musical character of a well-used, road-worn Mark 1 88-key vintage electric piano, combined with the flexibility and control of a software instrument. Every element of the instrument’s sound, including the non-linearity of the individual keys, is captured to recreate the magic realism of the original.The instrument can be used as a plug-in or stand-alone, and comes equipped with the tools to create classic or adventurous sounds. The mix section gives you control over formants, sample shifting, and internal mechanics such as tines and key-up sound. Also included are high-quality tremolo, autopan, phaser, chorus, and reverb effects, as well as controls for boosting bass, mid, and treble frequencies.A vintage-style compressor and an amplified cabinet that was sampled with both a condenser a dynamic mic let you further tweak your sound to achieve tones ranging from mellow jazz flavors to distorted rock riffs.
