Electric Home Piano

About

Electric Home Piano is a keys and organ plugin by Westwood Instruments. It is a keys and organ plugin built from a rare electric home piano, recorded at The Nave. The piano was sampled with its own built-in cassette deck, so the tape sound comes from the instrument. It includes 40 presets, vibrato, delay, 8 reverbs, and close, room and gallery microphone options.

What it sounds like

As few as 25 of these home pianos were built, so the sound is uncommon. Tone bars are dampened by hand, giving short, round notes in two variations for fast arpeggios. Four playing styles are offered: Electric Piano, Soft Electric Piano, Soft Tone Bars and Muted Tone Bars.
