Waves Audio has released the Waves Electric 200 piano, the latest addition to its line of virtual instruments. Electric 200 is a sampling of two classic 200-model electric pianos, featuring studio-quality effects, compressor, limiter and an amp.

The plug-in targets the bite, bark and punchy Wurlitzer reed tone used on classic recordings by from Ray Charles, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan and Supertramp. Sampled from two individual instruments, each with its own distinct tone, Electric 200 gives the flexibility to create classic and adventurous sounds in rock, jazz, R&B and electronic music – ‘a quantum leap forward in feature, tone, responsiveness, realism and grit from the other sampled Wurlitzer pianos out there’, according to top studio musician Charlie Judge (Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban). It is designed to deliver the human touch that is so essential when sampling tonally complex analogue instruments. For an authentic feel with true physical presence, users can mix in the sound of the internal piano mechanisms, as if the original instruments were sitting right in front of them.

The included effects offer versatility in just a few knobs. The phaser for offers a classic 70s sound, while the reverb helps to give natural spatial placement within the mix.
