Cherry Audio Wurlybird 140B Electric Piano – Professional Audio Software & Plugin
Wurlybird 140B is Cherry Audio's first sample-based electro-acoustic virtual instrument
modeled after the early 60s Wurlitzer 140B
considered by many to be the crown jewel of the legendary electric piano family. Wurlybird 140B has been crafted by Cherry Audio through deep expert sampling of a professionally restored 140B
along with subtle randomization of key release and pedal sounds
precision modeling of the original preamp
faithfully emulated vibrato/tremolo
and even adjustable background hum. Moreover
it features a wide array of tonal-enhancing stompbox-style effects and 50 presets
providing a comprehensive 140B experience. The Wurly is undeniably one of the most classic rock and pop keyboards ever made. Its rich
distinctive sound has been featured on numerous hits
including classic songs by Ray Charles
Queen
Three Dog Night
Supertramp
and modern artists like Beck and Billie Eilish. Several Wurly iterations -- and emulations -- have been released over the years. The 200 and 200A models are lighter and more durable
making them practical for live performances. However
many fans of the Wurly consider the earlier 140B model to be the best in the range due to its superior action and tone quality. When expert sound designer and sample programmer Mike Martin shared his plan to embark on a comprehensive project sampling keyboardist Tom Hammer's 140B
Cherry Audio eagerly embraced the chance to create an awe-inspiring sampled instrument based on this rare treasure. Wurlybird 140B offers everything a true connoisseur and performer would want from such an instrument. It features carefully modeled vibrato/tremolo
varied release samples
adjustable background hum
and even the "clunk" of the sustain pedal. In addition to the super-accurate sampling and preamp modeling
Cherry Audio has included eight stompbox-style studio-quality effects and 50 inspiring presets spanning classic to modern tones.
