Professional Sample Engine
ELEKTRIK PIANO is based on the award-winning high-performance sampling
technology from Native Instruments, making for an unrivalled authentic
playback of the original instruments.
Each individual key of the hardware predecessors has
been meticulously sampled to include the entire release phase and at
various velocity levels. Release samples reproduce the sound made when
a key is released, enhancing authenticity and playability.
Effects and Presets
Depending on the instrument, ELEKTRIK PIANO offers various effects for
creating instrument-specific effect sounds, including chorus, reverb,
phaser, and tremolo.
Each instrument also includes a wide selection of ready-to-play
presets, which can be grouped into individual performance sets for quick
recall of presets during live performance using the computer function
keys or a MIDI controller. Altered sound settings can be saved as new
presets.
For Stage and Studio
Impressive sound, uncomplicated operation, and support for all professional
interfaces make ELEKTRIK PIANO the first choice for studio and stage.
Whether standalone or as a plug-in with multiple instances in a sequencer
– ELEKTRIK PIANO combines the classic sounds of these vintage E-pianos
with the power of modern computer-based music production.
ELEKTRIK PIANO provides the sounds of four legendary e-pianos:
- Fender Rhodes MK 1™ - including 27 instrument
versions (presets)
- Fender Rhodes MK 2™ - including 19 instrument
versions (presets)
- Wurlitzer A 200™ - including 21 instrument
versions (presets)
- Hohner Clavinet E7™ - including 22 instrument
versions (presets)
For each instrument the NI sound designers created
a wide range of presets and sound variations, using various effects
and modulation. You will find versions that use high-quality reverb,
phaser, flanger, chorus, delay, equalization, distortion, pitch shifting
as well as typical sounding instruments from known musicians and songs.

After registering ELEKTRIK PIANO, you will be able to download additional
presets. These presets are medium and small versions of the presets
delivered with ELEKTRIK PIANO:
Direct From Disk (DFD)
After downloading the free DFD extension ELEKTRIK PIANO is able to play
large libraries directly from the hard drive. This makes it possible
to use large instruments independently of the amount of RAM. Using DFD,
all ELEKTRIK PIANO instruments will load many times faster than RAM-based
instruments allowing direct playback.
Effect settings
The four knobs on the left side of the ELEKTRIK PIANO interface are
multifunctional knobs. For maximum ease of use, these knobs are assigned
to varying effect parameters - depending on the preset. This allows
you to quickly alter the sound of a patch; e.g. set the amount of reverb
or phaser, lower the delay feedback, tweak the equalizer by adjusting
the bass and treble knobs - or even modulate the depth of a filter cutoff.
The settings of ELEKTRIK PIANO's knobs can easily be
saved as "Performances" for instant recall.
Powered by KONTAKT
By employing the cutting-edge technology of Native Instruments' award-winning
KONTAKT sampler, it was possible to make use of the best-sounding filters,
a wide array of high-quality effects and all kinds of sonic sculpting
possibilities that can be found within KONTAKT - including reverb, delay,
tremolo, phaser, saturation, multiband EQs and a lot more.
Registered users of ELEKTRIK PIANO and KONTAKT 1.5 can load the ELEKTRIK
PIANO sample content within KONTAKT 1.5 to make their own signature
patches using all of the deep editing functions of NI's flagship sampler.
