Purgatory Creek Exs 140 pretty impressive

Post by benny ray »

I downloaded the Ex 140 the 1975 Rhodes and they sound very good especially if you like the barking sound. To my ears they sound much cleaner and more like a rhodes with more bite. Just $25 well worth it. Also checked out the Ex 144 the Wurlitzer 200a and they are very nice also. However, i just thought i would give a thumbs up on these 2 libraries. Have not checked the other ones. I am more of a vintage keys person.

Just wondered if anyone has purchased these 2 libraries Ex 140, 144 because for the money they are high quality vintage sounds of the Rhodes and Wurlitzer.

I tried the 140 and 141 and then just went and bought the bundle. Very impressive.
I was a guitar player until I got a Monotron...

I think this is the order, Korg Monotron, Monotribe, MicroSampler, MicroKorg XL+, MS20 Mini, SQ1, Kronos 2 61...

I really like the Yamaha C7 EXs 147, 148 pianos. I like the EXs 148 because they sound brighter and clean because of the mic- positioning almost like a stereo sounding piano.

Thanks guys, I very much appreciate it.

My goal is to provide Kronos owners with the best possible electro-mechnical sample libraries available in hardware. Together with EP-1 and CX-3, the Kronos is the hardware to own, IMHO. I also have a Pianet N and mid-1960s Sparkletop Rhodes in the works near term, plus a lot more planned.

Yeah the Acouticsamples C7 Grand is wonderful instrument. It's my go to piano--it just fits my playing. The plan is to bring more of Acousticsamples' excellent libraries to the Kronos.

Again thanks for the support.

Busch.

The whole set is well worth it.
Didn't think I need any more Rhodes, but I was interested in the CP70b and Clavinet C so I bought the whole bundle. Busch's sampling work with vintage keys has been fantastic and he has freely given a lot to the Kronos community. Three different Rhodes, two Wurlitzer models, a Yamaha CP70b, and a Hohner Pianet for $100 - no brainer. I also purchased Yamaha C7 set and that is wonderful as well.

I purchased the ep bundle over the weekend and the sounds are great. I have a weakness for the old reed pianos anyway. I had a few questions on the install and emailed Purgatory Creek. The response came within a couple of hours and resolved my questions (which were primarily due to my being a Kronos novice). If you like the Rhodes or Wurlitzer e-piano sound, these are a must.
