Description

Production of the 200 series reed-based electric piano began in 1968 and continued through the 1970s. It was the most popular of the reed-based pianos and can be found on many recordings throughout that period and beyond. The 200a series offered improved electronics and noise reduction over the original 200.

The Purgatory Creek Soundware Reed EPs 200a was deeply sampled at eight velocity levels recorded for the full duration, so you will hear neither loops nor artificial envelope decays. Each note was sampled and eight velocity layers of release samples also are included. The instrument uses 32MB of RAM and requires 256MB of free disk space.

You will find a three-band equalizer, volume for the release samples and a velocity curve dialog box which allows the user to adjust the instrument to respond to touch. In addition, each has controls for the tremolo, phaser and reverb effects. Finally, a number of amp simulations are provided.

Reed EP 200a is part of the Reed Collection for Kontakt.
