ELEKTRIK PIANO 1.5 has a brand new engine under the hood. Based on the super powerful KONTAKT 2, Native Instruments award winning sampler engine, ELEKTRIK PIANO 1.5 now features greater stability, much faster loading times, host automation capacity, an improved voice allocation algorithm, thoroughly reworked authentic patches, and numerous other small improvements from version 1.
New Instruments:
ELEKTRIK PIANO 1.5 comes with 16 astounding new “Authentic Instruments” presets (four for each piano). All instruments have been carefully redesigned, reproducing the dynamic feel of the original keyboards to the fullest extent. “Authentic Instruments” presets can also be imparted with even greater level of depth and warmth, thanks to the brand new impulse-response room and cabinet simulations.
New Effects:
The A200, MK1 and MK2 instruments now include a tremolo effect which can be controlled via MIDI and mod-wheel as well as allowing for automation in your host sequencer. Additionally, instrument presets with different tremolo amount settings can be combined in a single performance.
The E7 instruments now include a mod-wheel controllable Wah-Wah effect, a “Sound” knob which will switch through 10 different sound settings and a sustain pedal emulating the E7’s characteristic damper mechanism.
More Choice:
New options for setting the dynamic range and random values for velocity, volume, and pitch have been added, giving ELEKTRIK PIANO 1.5 an exquisitely ‘organic’ feel.
More Realism:
Also new in version 1.5 is the redesigned voice allocation algorithm which not only reduces CPU usage but also authentically replicates the mechanical workings of a real electric piano.
Intel-Mac ready:
ELEKTRIK PIANO is now Intel Mac compatible – the Universal Binary update is included in version 1.5.
