Tines Electric Piano
There's no keyboardist without a good Rhodes electric piano sound.
And the Mojo 61 offers what can be considered the best fusion
between sound fidelity and playability. This synth engine is based on
more than 10 years of experience on the physical modeling
simulation of a Rhodes electric piano, everything in the "body" of
each single note from the attack transient to the very last decay is
purely simulated. Some minor elements are added from selected
sampled sources, but the most important part of the sound is pure synthesis. Every
element of the mechanical piano is virtually reconstructed in the Mojo 61, from the
hammer, the hammer-tips, the tines, the tonebars, the pick-ups, the dampers, the
output filter straight to the output jack, and they all behave exactly like in the real
thing. Each of the 88 notes is simulated individually, and each note is a generator on
its own, thus offering the full polyphony, no note stealing and a very natural and true
to the original behavior. Plus, this new simulation features a very realistic
sympathetic resonance that involves the whole "harp" that can vibrate and resonate
every time a key is struck. It is really hard to tell the Mojo simulation from a real
Rhodes piano, the level of realism and the number of details is very high.
Reed Electric Piano
Similarly to the previous instrument, the simulation of a Wurlitzer
200A electric piano is totally based on physical modeling with only a
minor addition of sampled material. Same technique as before, every
part of the mechanical piano is virtually reproduced in order to
obtain the maximum level of realism and playability, including the
sympathetic resonance. This piano has 64 notes and all of them can
play at the same time.
PM Electric Piano
One of the most used electric piano sounds during the eighties was
the famous patch "E-PIANO 1" of the Yamaha DX7. The Mojo 61 offers
a reproduction of that very patch using the same "Phase Modulation"
synthesis, thus the result is exactly the same as the original
instrument, no compromise. This synthesizer has a 24-voice
polyphony with our "Intelligent Note Stealing Algorithm" that steals
only quieter notes and not those being still held, making the
polyphony limit not a problem.
Sampled Acoustic Grand Piano
This sample-set comes from the factory sample library of the GSi Gemini and is based
on the GSP-01 "Adaptive Sample Player" synthesis engine. It features a special
"Physical Modeling Piano Harp Resonance Simulator" that adds natural resonances to
the sound mimicking the behavior of a real piano harp.
