Emagic Vintage Collection with EVP88, EVD6, and EVB3

Emagic Vintage Collection: Analog Legends for the Digital World
With the Emagic Vintage Collection, the vintage myths of the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hohner electric pianos, Hohner Clavinet and the legendary B3 comes to life in today's computers. Uniquely, these vintage software instruments do not just statically recreate an instrument's tonal characteristics, as would be the case with samples. Rather, they expressively react to the player's every nuance with impressive realism.
The Emagic Vintage Collection includes the successful , multiple award-winning EVP88, the EVD6 and the EVB3, all for a special price.

The use of the Emagic Vintage Collection requires an installed copy of Logic Audio 5.3 (or higher) for Macintosh.

EVP88
Over the last few decades, the legendary sound of the electric piano has played a central role in music of all types -- from artists such as Herbie Hancock to Stevie Wonder, from Jamiroquai to Radiohead, and beyond. Now the EVP88 offers all Logic users the unique feel and warm tones of these instruments. The vintage myth comes to life in your computer today.

Tone Generation
While vintage Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hohner electric pianos produce their sounds electromechanically, the EVP 88 digitally produces astonishingly accurate replications, via native real-time tone generation. The EVP 88 does not just statically recreate an instrument's tonal characteristics, as would be the case with samples. Rather, it expressively reacts to the player's… read more every nuance with impressive realism. And like its vintage hardware predecessors, the EVP 88 can be played with full polyphony over a range of 88 notes, with 88 voices.

Tonal Characteristics
The EVP 88 provides the highly sought after sounds from electric pianos such as the Fender Rhodes Mark I of the Suitcase and Mark I & II of the Stage series, the Wurlitzer Electric Piano 200A and the Hohner Electra Piano, as well as many tasteful variations. Luckily, it doesn't require a tool kit to further change these tonal characteristics so that they fit your music perfectly. Simply set the Decay and Release time to suit, and emphasize the Bell or fade in Damper noises as required. For a sound that's even closer to the original, the EVP 88's intonation can be further contoured with the Stretched Tuning Curve and Warmth controls. An extensive effects section ensures that the unique vintage character of these instruments comes to life in your music today.

Effects Section
A key element of the effects section is the 2-band EQ for bass and treble manipulation, based on Emagic's renowned Fat EQ. The Drive circuit with gain and tone controls gives the sound the right bite. A 4-step Phaser with color control and built-in distortion adds further warmth and animation. The Tremolo, with rate and intensity controls, recreates the classic effects that made so many Rhodes passages so memorable. Both Phaser and Tremolo have an adjustable stereophase control to help create a broad spectrum of stereo effects. The variable intensity Chorus adds a final high-quality shimmer.

EVD6
The EVD6, a stunningly faithful emulation of the Hohner D6 Clavinet, is a superb addition to Emagic's Vintage Instrument Series. No samples are used in the tone generation process, guaranteeing unparalleled realism when reproducing the performance subtleties of the original. Conventional sample-based reproductions simply don't come close; the sound is calculated in realtime using unique 32-Bit Algorithmic Component Modeling. The result is that the sound of the EVD6 is indistinguishable from the original D6.

Play That Funky Music
True to the original, the EVD6 reacts dynamically to your performance. The sound not only changes in volume but also in timbre. Hitting the keys hard results in a more metallic sound, while striking the keys softly produces a smooth tone. The Component Modelling of the EVD6 calculates every nuance in realtime, resulting in a sound of unsurpassed realism and musicality.

Tweaking Welcome
The layout of the EVD6 user interface positively invites tweaking. The user interface offers access to tuning, stereo spread, classic filter settings, pickup configuration and damper controls. Beneath the "hood" you will find a number of additional controls that can be used to subtly, or radically, customize the sound, something hardly possible with the original. For example the EVD6 allows you to modify the pickup position as well as the shape of the hammers striking the strings. Even the string response and the typical click on key release can be controlled.

The Right Effect
The classic effects mixture makes up the typical D6 sound of the seventies. You will be happy to know that the effects of this era are accordingly already built into the EVD6: Phaser, Wah-Wah and Distortion. Of course, the sound of these effects is modeled after their original counterparts. For flexibility, different serial effect routing configurations are possible.

Mix It
Like the other plug-ins, the EVD6 is seamlessly integrated into 32-bit internal mixer of Logic. Logic's new automation systems allow the recording and playback of all EVD6 sound parameters.

EVB3
With the EVB3, Emagic introduces the legendary sound of the Hammond B3 to the Logic Series in the form of an optional new software instrument. Great care was taken during development to accurately model the sound with every familiar nuance intact, the goal being to provide the most faithful and playable virtual B3 yet available. The result is an emulation that uncannily captures the essence of the original with unmatched realism.

The Dirtier, The Better
To ensure unsurpassed life-like sound quality using the lowest possible CPU resources, the EVB3 features 32-bit realtime hybrid component modeling technology. The absolutely authentic sound of this remarkable software instrument reproduces the characteristic crosstalk of the tone wheels, the tube sound, the loudness robbing and tapering, as well as the typical key clicks and the harmonic cross modulation.

Easy Editing
The straightforward layout of the controls ensures intuitive editing of all sound parameters. As with the original, the drawbars allow over 250 million combinations while, in some areas, functionality even exceeds the original. For example, each manual has 24 preset keys and graphical representation of each setting.

The Better Half
What would the B3 be without a Leslie The true Hammond sound owes much of its charm to the heavy cabinet with the rotating speakers. For this reason the EVB3 offers realistic simulations of several vintage Leslies, such as the 145, 147 and the 122 model. The typical slow rotating "Chorale" sound, the fast "Tremolo" and the static "Braking" sound are all superbly emulated as well.

Into the Studio
Like the other plug-ins, the EVB3 is integrated into Logic's 32 Bit internal digital mixer via plug-in slots. All Logic's plug-in effects and mixer functions can be used for further treatment of the output signal. Logic 5's 32-bit track automation system allows automation of every EVB3 parameter. Using the motorized faders of Logic Control, you can, for example, control the EVB3 drawbars.
