The R.S.P. ’73 consists of a collection of truly authentic ‘deeply sampled’ renderings of the classic Fender Rhodes Stage Piano MK I – ’73, captured in high definition 24-bit quality. Ingenious Danish programming has resulted in both the 24 bit Emagic EXS24 mk II and 24 bit Steinberg Halion editions of the library being included in the same 4 CD set, with the added bonus that registered users will shortly be able to download the 24 bit Native Instruments Kontakt version at no extra cost. This new delivery system should prove to be a major boon to both users who need to switch sample platforms from time to time, and dealers – who will be able to supply the library for any of several popular samplers simply by stocking two multi platform editions.
The Scarbee R.S.P.’ 73 was recorded at 24 bit resolution through a Mindprint En-Voice preamp (without any use of EQ, tube saturation or compression), and then digitally transferred to a Nuendo AudioLink 96 audio card. The piano sound was captured directly from the harp, bypassing the passive tone control on the front panel, in order to capture the full frequency range of the instrument and minimize unwanted noise. All sample editing, including noise reduction and normalization, was also done at 24-bit resolution.
I want to warn you right away – this library is not new (!); only updates are available on the website today (I don’t have any).
In short, it’s a rarity.
Anyone familiar with Scarbee will appreciate it. The instrument is sampled with a high level of professionalism.
If you’re looking for a classic Rhodes with a clean sound and 4-level velocity per key, this library is for you.
The first disc contains detailed instructions and help files + Scarbee Bass Libraries – demosongs v.1.0 (mp3)
Good luck with your creativity!
