Overall, this is a unique synth and a unique take on electric pianos, and for fans of synthy pianos and realistic pianos alike, this is a product worth checking out. Lounge Lizard is much more lightweight, and cpu processing has not been an issue: I've used it live at low latencies with no problems. Alongside my Native Instruments version of the Rhodes, the Lounge Lizard does seem slightly more digital and synth-y, but the Native Instruments uses hundreds of megabytes of samples, and it is extremely inflexible: one sound is pretty much all you get. I've personally never used an authentic Rhodes or Wurlitzer piano, but I use them a lot in my music and are familiar with how they sound in most modern recordings.

You can easily save and organize your presets within the plugin as well. But if you like electric pianos, but would love to change tonal details, and adjust every little parameter to your liking, then this is the soft synth for you.Ĭompatible with Mac and Windows systems, it also includes a tremolo, EQ, and multi effects section in addition to the basic electric piano controls. If you want a synth that sounds exactly like a Rhodes or Wurlitzer, this may not be the best tool. This is a smart soft synth that gives you deep control over the electric sound, with incredible sounding results.

Immediately, you'll see controls that are beyond the standard soft synth parameters: Stiffness, Tine, Geometry, Damper, etc. It is not based on samples from the real Rhodes or Wurlitzer pianos, yet it sounds surprisingly real, and it infinitely more flexible. Applied Acoustics System's take on an electric piano synthesizer plugin is unlike the rest.
