From Our Research Team:

Incredible Piano Modeling!

All mechanisms used in the Lounge Lizard's hardware equivalents are precisely replicated including the hammer, tone bar, tine, and pick up. The sound is calculated in real time in accordance with the controls the program receives. The resulting sound is unmatched in it's realism and warmth. The Lounge Lizard EP-2 comes with presets modeled after the classic electric piano sounds, but users can also modify the existing sounds to create their own signature tones, saving them as user presets for instant recall. All parameters of the Lounge Lizard my also be automated via MIDI, allowing users to morph between presets, creating ever changing tones.



The Lounge Lizard functions as a standalone application, but also complies with many of the most widely used driver and plug-in standards, making it an excellent addition to any studio, or live rig.

Physical modeling provides great advantages in recreating the sound generating properties of electromechanical and acoustic instruments, accurately mimicking their nuances in a manner simply not possible by other synthesis methods or sampling. For example, because the sound is calculated in real time in accordance with the controls it receives from your MIDI keyboard and on screen knob movements, the Lounge Lizard will produce a slightly different sound if the tine is in motion than when it is at rest.

Great care was taken in the development of Lounge Lizard to provide access to all of the various components in an intuitive manner, giving you the power to tweak your sound in a way that would have taken many painstaking hours with a screwdriver, and incredible patience to accomplish with the real thing. Far from being just a collection of good presets, the Lounge Lizard is a custom sound designing tool sure to please any discerning keyboard enthusiast.

While the various models give you the ability to create unparalleled reproductions of classic electric piano sounds, all of the various parameters can also be pushed far beyond the range of their hardware equivalents, opening up a completely new realm of sonic possibility.

Using an external MIDI knob box or continuous controller messages (cc envelopes) from your host sequencer, this idea can be taken even further, allowing you to modulate various on screen parameters in real time, creating ever changing tones, from the sublime to the ridiculous!

New features in Lounge Lizard EP-2:
  • Now includes key release model for even greater realism
  • Choose between the Lounge Lizard's original pickup model
    acclaimed for it's growl and bite, or a new secondary model
    specifically designed for crystal clean tones
  • All effects modulation and stereo delays sync to host tempo
  • Support for MIDI program change for hands-free operation
  • New browser interface makes finding presets quick and easy
  • Optimized DSP engine for 3 times greater CPU performance
  • Support for Digidesign's RTAS plug-in format for Pro Tools 6.x
  • Support for OS X

Reviews

Absolutely Beautiful!

by Luis from United States

Music Background: Church Worship/Gospel
Just bought EP-3 and absolutely love it. Never had a "real" Rhodes or Wurli but I can say that between a Roland Rhodes I had to my current Motif XS, etc., I've never been happy with the Rhodes sound ... read more [+](which I use a lot). With the EP-3, I'm happy!!!

One thing I'm not seeing with the reviews and info available on the EP-3 is that you can emulate various versions of the the DX7 Yamaha EP as well. I was playing with my TX802 and tweaking the EP-3 and could get absolutely convincing DX7 sounds. The biggest thing is how smooth the EP-3 sounds on the upper octaves of the keyboard. Every "sample" of the DX7 always includes a harsh sound in the higher keys. The EP-3 stays absolutely smooth! GREAT PRODUCT!!! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
