EVP73
The legendary sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano has put its unmistakable stamp on the music of an entire generation of gifted artists. Now the Emagic Vintage Piano 73 makes the unique feel and warm tones of the Fender Rhodes electric piano available as a plug-in for VST 2.0-compatible sequencing software.

Features:

VST2.0-compatible instrument featuring authentic real-time emulation of the Fender Rhodes Stage Piano Mk II

Original dynamics faithfully replicated

Fully polyphonic over 73 keys, up to 73 voices (computer dependent)

Built-in Tremolo with adjustable intensity, speed and stereophase for stereo effects

Parameters for detailed editing: decay and release time, stereo spread, bell emphasis, damper volume, voice count, and tuning

All parameter changes can be stored as programs

Retro-look, easy to use interface

Sample-accurate timing

Tone Generation
The vintage Fender Rhodes electric piano produces its sounds electromechanically, with the distinctive sound of hammers striking tines captured and transmitted via pick-ups. The EVP 73 digitally produces an astonishingly accurate replication of this via native real-time tone generation, rather than just attempting to statically recreate the tonal characteristics with samples. Because of this, the EVP 73 expressively reacts to the player's every nuance with impressive realism. Like its hardware predecessor, the EVP 73 can be played with full polyphony over a range of 73 notes, with 73 voices.

Tonal Characteristics
Unlike the Fender Rhodes electric piano, it luckily doesn't require a tool kit and hours of detailed work to change the tonal characteristics of the EVP 73 so that they fit your music perfectly. The retro-look user interface is very easy to use -- quickly set the Decay and Release time, as well as the stereo spread, to suit. You can also emphasize the Bell or fade in Damper noises as required.

The Main Effect
If there's one effect that is particularly identified with the electric piano, it's Tremolo. The Tremolo section of the EVP 73 is especially fine, with rate and intensity controls to easily help recreate the effects that made so many Rhodes passages so memorable. There's also an adjustable stereophase control to help create a broad spectrum of stereo effects.

ES1
The new ES1 is the first in a comprehensive range of virtual instruments for the Logic Series. As a real synthesizer, the ES1 offers extremely flexible tone generation that puts the entire palette of analog sounds at your disposal: earth-shaking basses, rich pads and textures, screaming leads, ultra-sharp percussion and exotic effects.

More Synth
You don't get just one synthesizer with the ES1: dependent on your computer's performance and your version of Logic Audio you can use up to 24 ES1 instruments simultaneously in Logic Audio Platinum and Gold (up to 8 ES1 in MicroLogic AV and Silver), each with up to 16 voices.

More Sound
The audibly superior timing of the ES1 is only the beginning: every parameter can be completely automated. Furthermore, the ES1 has all the effect plug-ins of Logic's internal digital mixer at its disposal. And with Logic Audio Gold and Platinum, audio recordings can be routed into the ES1 and even used as modulation sources.

More Fun
The elegantly designed ergonomic user-interface of the ES1 not only puts the fun back into experimenting with sound creation but will also impress you with its clear layout and unique new control elements that are only available in the virtual world of software. Thanks to these design details, getting to know the ES1 is simply child's play.

EXSP24
Over the course of the last 20 years, no musical instrument has influenced music production more than the sampler. When they first appeared, these instruments were only available as obscenely expensive and bulky hardware. That is, until the EXS24 samplers finally made their way into the computer. Now the Emagic Xtreme Sample Player 24 offers users of any VST 2.0 compatible host application many of the features that made the EXS24 so successful.

The Concept
The Emagic Xtreme Sample Player 24 is ideal for any musician who requires access to an extensive and ever-expanding sound library, but has no desire to deal with the sample recording process*. The EXSP 24, with its crystal-clear 32 Bit processing quality, gives direct, real-time control over these sounds to users of VST 2.0-compatible host programs. It reads its native sample format and also SoundFont2 and AKAI S1000/3000** compliant samples - at resolutions of 8 to 24 Bit, and at sample rates ranging from 11 to 96 kHz. As all EXSP24 users receive over 500 MB of sounds from the world's finest Sample Instrument Library cost-free when they register, they can concentrate on the most important thing from the start: the music.

* A copy of Logic Audio plus an installed copy of the EXS24 is required for the recording and creation of Sample Instruments.

** Update after registration.

Sound Sculpting
The first-class sound manipulation capabilities of the EXSP24 breathe life into any Sample Instrument. The core of the EXSP24's sound sculpting revolves around a superior lowpass filter with an integrated distortion and fatness-circuit. This ensures excellent low frequency response, even at high resonance settings. Mono and legato modes support the most expressive and subtle of playing styles for solo instruments. Two LFOs plus 2 blindingly fast, punchy envelopes per voice cater for the most delicate or dramatic movement in pitch, filter frequency, volume and panorama settings. In addition to these modulation options, there is a velocity-sensitive pitch envelope or glide, and sample start-point and envelope attack times can further respond to velocity.

The Interface
The innovative, ergonomic user-interface of the EXSP24 takes sampler use to a new level of simplicity: no more tedious searching through endless menus and dealing with miniscule displays. With the EXSP24, you have a complete, at-a-glance overview of your sound settings. Further EXSP24 user interface features are the unique double-sliders and cutoff-resonance-chaining facilities, offering simultaneous control over multiple parameters. These creative solutions ensure the most efficient workflow allowing you to quickly and easily realize your sonic ideas.

VST2.0 compatible Sample-Player with 32 Bit internal resolution for EXS24, SoundFont2 and AKAI S1000/3000* sample formats
