REQ: Adam Monroe's Wurlitzer 2.0
Adam Monroe's Wurlitzer virtual instrument plugin was sampled from an "early model" 1970's Wurlitzer 200A electronic piano. The process began by close-miking the piano with Beyerdynamic MC930 condenser microphones on the Wurlitzer's built-in speakers, and an AEA R84 Ribbon Mic on the line-out signal through a Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp. These signals were fed into Grace M101 and AEA TRP Preamps respectively.
The wurlitzer's amplifier and preamp were re-capped in an attempt to save the amplifier, but about half way through the sampling process the amplifier died, which eventually killed the power transformer. The preamp, amp, and power transformer were all replaced and sampling continued. Well sampling the bass notes, it became apparent that the Wurlitzer's built in speakers also needed to be replaced.
Adam Monroe Music has released version 2.0 of Adam Monroe's Wurlitzer, a plugin that simulates the sound of a 1970s era Wurlitzer 200A electronic piano.
New features of the plugin include:
Improved Distortion and Dampening algorithms.
Delay, Chorus, Wah, Noise, and Tone controls.
60 built-in presets.
Scaled-back reverb.
