MrTramp2 is the sequel of GSi’s previous plugin “MrTrampâ€, a physical modeling simulation of the soulful Wurlitzer(TM) 200A Electric Piano. What’s different in this new version? Firstly, it’s not compiled in SynthEdit any more, is fully programmed in C++ so is now also available for Mac OSX in both VST and AU formats; secondly, it takes way less CPU and RAM; furthermore, this is not the exact same algorithm as used in the previous MrTramp, this is a new revised formula which gives more ‘bite’ on the lower octaves and more ‘body’ on the high notes (99% same code used in KeyPerformer).
Panel Controls:
– Velocity (CC #17): adjusts the velocity response, use this in accordance to your MIDI controller’s settings to find the best action response;
– Hardness (CC #16): adjusts the hardness of the virtual “reedsâ€;
– Tremolo (CC #1): turns on/off and adjusts the amount of tremolo, with a fixed frequency of 6 Hz, triangle waveform;
– Tone (CC #10): a low pass filter, use this to brighten or darken the sound;
– Volume (CC #7): guess what?…
