EXs144 Reed EPs
This collection contains two reed-based electro-mechanical pianos from the 1970s, the Model 200a and Pianet T. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Reed EPs were deeply sampled at eight velocity levels recorded for the full duration, so you will hear neither loops nor artificial envelope decays. With the Model 200a, each note was sampled while the Pianet T had nearly every note sampled. In addition, the 200a includes eight velocity layers of release samples.
The library requires 1.1GB of RAM or 52MB using virtual memory. 22 programs are included.

EXs146 Reed EP 140b
Produced in the early to mid-1960s, the 140b electric piano, uses steel reeds to generate its tone. Though the later 200 and 200a models were more common, the 140 series electric pianos can be heard on numerous recordings made in the 1960s. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Reed EP 140b provides ten sustain velocity layers and an additional seven release sample layers. Each note of the 64 note piano was recorded for full duration, providing an accurate sound with no artificial decay envelopes or sample loops.
The sample-set requires 1.2GB of RAM or 47MB using virtual memory. Seventeen programs are included.

EXs153 Pianet N
The electro-mechanical piano, upon which this sample-set is based, was manufactured between 1965 and 1967. It is a reed-based instrument. The Purgatory Creek Soundware Pianet N was deeply sampled at eight velocity levels recorded for the full duration, so you will hear neither loops nor artificial envelope decays. Nearly every note of the instrument was recorded and note-off release samples are included. The instrument included a mono tremolo effect which is emulated.
The sample-set requires 785MB of RAM or 25MB using virtual memory.
