​Hi and welcome to 'Seventy three', the Vintage Piano Expansion !
​

​
'73' is a new product for the Kurzweil PC3K containing about 26 Mb of samples coming from a Rhodes MK1 piano.
​It has been carefully sampled using high end audio equipment at different velocity to keep the resulting sound as close as possible to the original instrument.


​The source :
As said previously the source was a 1976 Rhodes MK1.
This piano was used by the keyboardist of a french artist back in the 80's.
He was later restored by a company named 'One More Tine - Rhodes restoring'
This instrument is now belonging to a member of our team Coyote14.

You can see here the serial number of the instrument,
2976 means the 29th week of the year 1976


​​The recording :
The sound of the Rhodes was sent to a Class-A pre-amp Audient MiCO
The output of the pre-amp was set to AES/EBU and sent directly into the RME UFX
We recorded 3 notes by octave across all the keyboard at 4 different strikes level (soft, med-, med+, hard)




​The 'Baby' just before the sampling cession...
Come on ! Let's rock those tines !!!

​The programming :
All the samples were cut and cleaned and i decided to keep the natural decay of the sound.
The sampling frequency was adjusted to optimize the size of the samples without reducing the tone quality.
With samples mangling and building alternate keymaps the VAST synthesis allows me to make a lot more than the 4 original strikes so some of the presets have up to 14 layers of different velocity level ! 
And you can add the hammers, tines and pedal noises...

These presets are user-adjustable and you can create your own sounds, check the 'virtual rack' :
You can download a HD picture of this rack in the utility files section.
You will find the presets list with a short description of each sound too.

Working on a real Rhodes was a great experience (as well as just playing on it !)
I hope you will have fun using '73' on your PC3K...

As usual, if you like this product, spread the word, not the file !

​Thanks a lot !
