While the Fender Rhodes electric pianos can lay claim to being the most famous in history, many keyboard players cherish the slightly grittier sound of the Wurlitzer EP 200A just as dearly. This long-standing love affair has now been recognised by Arturia, which has moved away from synth emulations to launch the Wurlitzer V, a physically modelled emulation of the 200A that works standalone and as a plug-in. Offering you Studio, Stage and Rotary modes, the Wurlitzer V also comes with models of classic tube amps, mics and stompboxes, enabling your to tailor your sound within it.

Arturia Wurlitzer V press release Music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of Wurlitzer V, a (Standalone, VST 2.4 & 3 -32-bit and 64- bit, RTAS and AU -32- and 64-bit) high-end software recreation of the classic Wurlitzer EP 200A electric piano as of April 26, 2012. Think electric piano, and many musicians still think Wurlitzer or 'Wurly' -one of a series of electromechanical stringless pianos manufactured and marketed by the US-based Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, coining the trademarked Electronic Piano phrase in the process. The 1972-launched Wurlitzer EP 200A represented Wurlitzer's top-of-the-range, reed-based piano line throughout its impressive 10-year production lifespan; today Arturia's Wurlitzer V faithfully resurrects that still-sought-after sound - and more besides!

Unlike traditional sampling libraries, the Wurlitzer V's embedded physical modelling engine readily reproduces the agreeable acoustic properties of the Wurlitzer EP 200A's musically distinctive reeds, key action, and amplification combo by 'constructing' played notes in real time, creating cost-effective and reliable realism in a computer-based, truly portable package fit for a 21st Century performer; moreover, maximising integral sonic flexibility to skilfully surpass its hardware namesake is also the virtual order of the day here, appealing to studio and stage users alike. Indeed, Wurlitzer V lets users choose between three output modes: Studio (Wurlitzer V and associated effects are 'connected' to a virtual DI box with reverb thereafter); Stage (with guitar amp simulator, multiple mic and speaker options, and a satisfying-sounding spring reverb at the output stage); and Rotary (with a rotary speaker simulator to create musical movement). As most producers are already aware, the beloved bright and overdriven 'Wurly' sound so musically ingrained in popular music culture -thanks to artists as diverse as The Beatles, Supertramp, and Marvin Gaye -is actually a clever combination of admirable amplification -Fender Bassman and Twin Reverb guitar tube amps, et al; mic'ing par excellence; and precision processing, with multiple analogue chorus, phasing, and tape echo units often being used to fashion a deeper, luscious tone.
