The Electric Grand 80 Piano from Waves brings you the musical character of a faithfully-sampled CP-80 electric grand piano with the flexibility and control of a virtual instrument plug-in. It combines the sonic characteristics of acoustic piano mechanics and electric-guitar-style pickups to recreate the distinctive tone of the original instrument, heard on a multitude of pop and R&B hits throughout the 80's.
The Electric Grand 80 Piano can be used as a plug-in or standalone. It comes with EQ and tremolo controls found on the CP-80, and includes effects such as compression, autopan, phaser, chorus, and reverb. The instrument features a mix section that lets you combine four separately sampled sound (main, key up, internal mechanics, sustain pedal), for added nuances and realism. Furthermore, the Sustain Resonance knob lets you blend in the sound produced by sympathetic resonance of un-played strings when the sustain pedal is pressed, adding depth to long chords and solos alike.
