    Not bad ... But when you possde the Scarbee Rhodes (CEP), it is bland in comparison! ... Trs sound and pretty, the sound features including (Phaser. .. Etc) trs are convincing, the interface is pretty ... But in a mix, without a proper sound! When we play with we do not feel like a Rhodes under the hood! While the Scarbee spring right now, we feel the blade, changes are trsralistes VLOC, a short lived and easy to mix! Here, we end up with something that lacks attack and PCHE. Finally, a proper rest! But I sold ...

    The installation is done it without problems?
    installation without a problem,
    ago by the test against the authorization of the product (on-line course)
    it took me 6 days! because I bought this app to put in my Receptor,
    and there, there is a process they call "off-line" but that requires a connection?!
    Now their site was down ... brief, contact the support (with answers next to the plate), the usual hassle what.

    Anyway, I will never admit a soft request authorization to operate on-line, it lowers

    if that were possible!)

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)

    PC core2 (2x3ghz), 4GB Ram, Sound card RME Multiface, Winsows XP sp3
    The software works he correctly on this configuration?
    Yes VST (Cubase SX3)
    Yes Standalone.
    not in Standalone if you put anything else in addition (eg EZdrummer) there, he planted the machine.
    yet it is not a prog very greedy and I can run things much heavier standalone no prob,
    is therefore the Elektrik Piano that crashes.

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    2 months

    What is so special that you like most and least?
    Likes:
    -Its simplicity and aesthetics

    -The sound of the MKI and cool to play solo

    I like least:
    I find that overall, the sounds are a bit "soft" side and there is a kitsch and "Purple Rose"
    it is difficult (for me), playing grooves nervous with this app.
    But funny can be improved by adding to it from IK Amplitube Fender.

    -Its possible settings (rather anecdotal and somewhat outdated)

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    so much
    How would you rate the quality / price?
    it's a bit too expensive for what it offers

    With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    Yes, I think it is the only "Rhodes" goes into my Receptor.
    It's also cohere, but not a revolution

    Best Wurly Sounds I've found

    Native Instruments Elektrik PianoPublished on 08/11/11 at 17:42
    It's made to work in the kontakt environment which is where I use it. I'm not the biggest fan of the kontakt interface but it is a really convenient way to group a lot of got instruments together. Native Instruments plays things pretty much by the book. They have proven products and Elektrik is no different. It loads up with a ton of presets which are more useful than most. Although sometimes the names make me wonder what they mean? Not really a big deal.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    I've never had any issues with Kontakt or Elektrik. Any problems I've had have been failures on my part. I initially had troubleshooting errors with interfacing but most of the time it was a case of "should've read the manual." I've been using kontakt for years and elektrik piano for a couple. I do worship music in a live environment and I frequently use a keyboard for come songs. In our type of music we need a Wurlitzer sound pretty often. I had tried a few out there and found most of the vsti's I played to be pretty weak. Most of them sounded very fake and lacked the organic bass you get with elektrik. This plugin is by far the best I've found. It just sounds very real. The effects are okay. I would recommend you use an external reverb and delay if you need that though. The ones onboard are just eh... I end up using MK2 most often. I expect most people that use this will gravitate toward one of the keyboards and rarely use the other ones. But really, the value is great regardless. For the quality you get here, I think the price is sort of a bargain.

    OVERALL OPINION

    What I like most, hands down is the realism. Elektrik has that organic tone that I never got with other emulations before. It's the closest I've come to having a real keyboard in the room. I use it live most of the time and you would think I had one on stage. It's really that level of quality. I've tried the competitors and I would strongly recommend this one. If it's a bit pricey, save up. You won't be happy with the cheaper options.
