Misc : New Electric Pianos for Kontakt & HALion - macmusicFresh from Precisionsounds comes Dusty Electric MKII. Formatted for HALion and Kontakt the 24 bit samples are taken from a well tuned 1980 Rhodes Stage Piano Mark II (Seventy Three). Weighing in at a respectable 235MB, each of the 520 Mono Wav files has been looped to maintain realism while not being too resource hungry. For a true representation of the original instrument you get up to 5 velocity layers and 3 velocity release layers.

Prices start a $63 USD for a downloadable version.
