Applied Acoustics Systems announces the official release of Lounge Lizard EP-3 for Mac OS X and Windows -- an upgrade of their award-winning electric piano.
The Lounge Lizard is already the electric piano of choice for many of the world's top studios and musicians. With this new version, AAS rises the bar in the re-creation of the classic electric pianos by including an extensive new preset library, a new multi-effect module, refined modeling of the tone and tine bars, new and improved pickup modeling, and support for micro-tuning.
"Lounge Lizard has been recognized as one of the most impressive virtual instrument, this new version is certainly the top solution on the market for electric piano sounds," said Philippe Dérogis, CTO of AAS. "It is also a great illustration of how realistic physical modeling can be, not only in terms of tone but also in terms of feel, dynamics and liveliness."
What's New in Lounge Lizard EP-3
* Presets - The brand new library fully exploits the refinements on offer and covers all your electric piano needs.
* Effects - The high-end effect section has been extended with tremolo, wah, chorus, phaser, delay, reverb, and EQ—making Lounge Lizard a complete and self-contained electric piano solution.
* Pickup model - Two pickup types are now available for a wider character range: electromagnetic (Rhodes™) and electrostatic (Wurlitzer™). In addition, scaling has been added for even volume across the entire keyboard.
* Fork model - The new and improved Fork model adds upper harmonic content for an even more authentic sound.
* Damper model - The improved Damper now closely interacts with the Fork and provides superb dynamic response.
* Audio Recorder - The integrated audio Recorder captures inspired moments on the fly.
* Micro-Tuning - Custom tunings are now possible with the added support for Scala files.
