Cinematique Instruments releases Vintage Electric Piano Bundle for Kontakt - Mark I, Cembalet and 200A
Cinematique Instruments has announced the release of the Vintage Electric Piano Bundle, which contains three vintage electric piano Kontakt Instruments: Mark I, Cembalet and 200A.
Each piano is available separately for 35€ but you save 30% when purchasing the full bundle for 70€.
Mark I
This is the sound of the classic stage piano Rhodes Mark I. Compared to its successors like the Mark II, it's less bell-like and has a more comfortable and warmer tone. Next to the traditional line sound Cinematique Instruments also added an articulation played through a Fender Rhodes Suitcase amp recorded with a Neumann microphone.
The electric piano focus on the real vintage sound and character. The beauties we recorded are in conditions as they are and that's exactly what makes it so irresistible. The result is a warm, inspiring cool instrument.
Cembalet
This is the Hohner Cembalet, an early reed based electric piano released around 1958.
Next to two versions of the traditional line sound Cinematique Instruments added an articulation of the original vibrato effect as well as an articulation recorded by a Neumann U87 microphone, giving you the organic tone of the plucked reeds.
200A:
This is the sound of the classic Wurlitzer electric piano 200A, an early reed based electric piano.
Compared to the Rhodes it has a slightly sharper tone and starts barking when played harder. Next to the traditional line and a brighter line sound Cinematique Instruments added two articulations recorded through speakers with a Microtech Gefell microphone, one with a close miking, the other one in the middle of the room.
