Cherry Audio has announced its first sample-based electro-acoustic virtual instrument, the Wurlybird 140B. The instrument is modeled after its 1964 namesake, which, according to many Wurlitzer fans, has even better action and tone quality than the popular 200-series. To create the Wurlybird 140B, Cherry Audio made use of a professionally restored 140B. In addition to deep expert sampling, the software features subtle randomization of key releases and pedal sounds. It also offers precision modeling of the original preamp and faithfully emulates the vibrato and tremolo. Wurlybird 140B even offers adjustable background hum and includes a broad spectrum of tonal-enhancing stompbox-style effects that range from the subtle all the way to the extreme. 

Features:

• Virtual instrument based on the rare 1964 Wurly 140B model electronic piano
• Deep multi-sample programming by sound design virtuoso Mike Martin meticulously captures the response of every key and reed
• Recorded from keyboardist and songwriter Tom Hammer's exquisite reference model
• Subtle randomization of key release and pedal sounds for ultra-realistic response

• Over 60 fabulous presets by veteran sound designers James Terris and James Dyson spanning from classic to modern tones
• Complete MIDI control and DAW automation with effortless MIDI learn mapping
