At the core, the CP-70 is a piano with strings and hammers with a pickup system for electric amplification. Originally released in the 1970′s as a "portable grand piano" for use on rock tours, the sound was made famous by Genesis, Kansas, U2 and more recently Keane.
The CP-70 can be compared to that of a Rhodes or Wurlitzer electric piano, but due to the use of strings instead of tines, it sounds much more like a traditional piano. The metallic strings amplified by electric pickups further characterize the CP70 as its own class of piano, giving it a guitar-like sound at times.

30.8676 Hz is a 100-preset collection for the Ultra Analog VA-1 analog synthesizer and AAS Player plug-ins focusing on analog bass sounds by renowned sound designer Andre Ettema. Split in two, the Movements presets make heavy use of the arpeggiator for some ferocious thumping action while the Stills presets propose a fine dose of fat, snoring, and wobbly analog goodness.
