Simply NAILS it

by was from Sacramento, CA
December 11, 2007
Music Background: Long time player
If you've actually played the "real" instruments, you know what it's like to have to settle for sounds that - while perhaps good in their own right - just don't quite capture the "magic". That's been ... read more [+]my experience with EP sounds from Fantoms, Motifs, etc. and every other EP VST I've tried. They are all "good enough" or even have a ceratin character of their own which is appealing, but NOT the real thing by a long shot.

Elektrik changes all of that. The Rhodes' are outstanding ... you can get just about any kind of Rhodes sound you've heard anywhere, from the sublime to the nasty ... everything from the pure bell-like tones to the Chuck Monte "Dyno" sounds to over-effeced Vangelis stuff ... and it all sounds dead-on to my ears.

I am especially picky when it come to Wurlitzer EPs, which are usually neglected with is kind of VST. It's all here: Supertramp tones, Queen, Ray Charles, etc. ... anything you want. Most telling to me is that I can recreate sounds I used to get out of my long-ago-parted EP200A ... things I've never heard anywhere else. It's got the "brap" that Wurli players are familiar with!

Just shut up and get it. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
