8Dio Studio Vintage Series: Wurlitzer Electric Piano KONTAKT

The 8Dio Studio Vintage Series Wurli is the most comprehensively deep-sampled Wurlitzer ever created. Recorded and processed at 24-Bit / 96Khz at our famous British Studio through a large custom NEVE desk. The Studio Wurli contains both standard (Sustains and Staccato w/ RR) and prepared articulations (Muted Tines). All standard sustain samples were recorded with both pedals up and pedal down positions. In addition, we also added staccato (w/ round robin) for fast playing styles. We also opened up the Wurlitzer and recorded the internal mechanics, including gently muting the tines for a different type of sound as well as individually recording the internal speaker for a truly authentic sound.

The Vintage Studio Wurli contains a multitude different types of vintage microphones and 2 different types of world-class reverbs. The microphones includes Neumann 87's, Coles, Neve SE Ribbon's, AKG 414's, Neumann KM 184's and a mixed microphone position, which was made by combining all 24 microphones used in the sessions. We also recorded all samples through two world-class reverbs (Bricasti and TC-Electronics 6000), so you have the best microphones and reverbs right at your fingertips. The Wurlitzer was recorded with a 100% analog NEVE Pre-Amp Signal Flow and further enhanced with a physical hardware chain, including Manley Vari-Mu Compressor, Original Urei 1176 (Pre-Universal Audio), Original DBX 160, Neve 33609 Compressor.

The Studio Wurli also includes full control over velocity response, tremolo depth and rate controls, authentic resonance, release triggers, pedal volume, analog noise control and full ADSR controls. The 8Dio Studio Wurlitzer represents the grittiest deep sampled Wurlitzer ever recorded. After searching and sampling multiple Wurlitzers we found the one - Our Studio Wurli. With just the right mixture of character, depth, warmth and bite this truly vintage machine has seen it all and is now ready to join you in your studio.
