What is EP73 Deconstructed?
EP73 Deconstructed is a high-detail virtual instrument that recreates the classic Fender Rhodes Stage 73 electric piano. It’s available exclusively as a Kontakt sample library, and is absolutely drenched in tonal character. It stands apart for its unnerving ability to emulate the authentic behavior of a real vintage Rhodes. Ultimately, how it responds to aggressive playing (distortion, “snarling”) versus gentle playing. Stick n’ stay! In this exhaustive SonicCouture EP73 Deconstructed review we’ll investigate nifty features such as:
- Uses round-robin multi-sampling to prevent repetitive sounds and improve realism
- Velocity-dependent timbres that respond naturally to playing dynamics
- Detailed control over parameters to emulate the nuanced character of a real Rhodes
- 5 unique instrument layers created using both traditional and “extended techniques”
- Extended techniques capture unconventional playing styles like muted, slap, and percussive articulations
- Approximately 15 GB of audio (around 8 GB download size)
- 120 factory presets
- It’s a full-fledged Kontakt Player compatible sample library
