well, you can do a test but no Rhodes sounds like another one, I mean you can set harmonic content of each note, so maybe a sample is closer to Herbie's Suitcase, another can be similar to the Joe Sample's one and so on.

@ZakiWasik 3 года назад

Damn... I tried running the video "blind" behind another browser window and guessing along with Jack. I mistook the Yamaha for the real one! And I've been playing, voicing and repairing wurlies for years. I must say, though, that Jacks Wurlie is a 200a and they tend to sound a little darker than the older models like the 200 that I own. The Yamaha might be modelled on a 200 rather than a 200a, possibly? The Nord was very easy to pick out. Despite Dan saying there is no amp on there, I'm pretty sure he was using the amped sample, which is very easy to spot. The Korg one is just atrocious. I'd wish Nord would try to catch up with Yamaha and ontroduce more/better Wurly samples. Would especially be nice if they would offer some of the older tube-based models as well.

@andy5178 3 года назад

Actually, Nord does offer an older, but non-amped Wurlitzer patch. They should have tried out that one, imho, as it's closer to an original 200A.

@ZakiWasik 3 года назад

@@andy5178 right, but it would still be easy to pick out compared to Yamaha. Try to take the original sample and apply a bit of amp sim. Sounds almost like the new sample and it works better dynamically because the amp sim actually responds more realistic to dynamics as opposed to the sample.

@simonrinaldo3957 3 года назад

Another great video guys.... loving your work as always. I play a Wurlitzer EP200A which I absolutely love and I have a Nord too which is great but it'll never quite replace the real deal for Wurli alone. I have got to say the closest emulation of my Wurli is my little Yamaha Reface CP, when played through a master keyboard that thing really sings, I adore it, the EFX are really great. I don't know if it is the same model as the one in the CP73 but it sounds real close to me but I have never played a CP73 to compare. I'd love to know though.

@tommymandel 3 года назад

@alexsouthgate7551 2 года назад

I was surprised they used the XL model on the Nord. I had a Wurli for a while and found the Wurlitzer 1 (5.8MB) sample (completely dry) was almost identical to the direct Line Out sound of the real Wurli. Maybe it was just too small a sample for a good comparison. Great video though!

@astral_brain Год назад

The give away on most emulations is they focus too much on that distorted Wurly sound you only get on the real one if you are playing really hard. Even if you play quite softly on an emulated Wurly it sounds like you are really pounding it.

@uberbeast113 Год назад

Wow. Ears of gold there. I,m really a guitarist (40 yrs playing) but do love keyboards, especially EP (big fan of that Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, Chick Corea, Van Der Graaf Generator 70's vibe) and I would not have got this test no way. I had a Yamaha DX7ii back in the early 90's and that thing could not reproduce strings without sounding harsh, nor analogue pads or swells that sounded warm and lush. It couldn't do much of anything bar destroy brain cells trying to learn how to program the damn thing. Bar existing as a mother keyboard. Bar a half decent sounding EP, the one thing it could do without being offensive to my ears. My Moog Rogue though. Oh man. That cost me 40 quid back in 1991. Someone nicked it. I was so pissed.

@marcuswilespage 3 года назад

@pawelsz95 3 года назад

4:15 sounds like you put stereo tremolo on Korg Sv2 wurly, should be monaural! Maybe it's called vibrato in Korg. Anyway, Yamaha is great in wurly samples, from Reface CP to the top CP series.

I leave a spare cheap 88 key at my bands practice room. My back thanks me.

@horowizard 3 года назад

Why is the actual Wurlitzer breaking up with distortion? Fucking amateurs! Playing the SV2 sort of gave away his hand (no pun intended) by playing outside the range of an actual 200. The Wurlie should have been easy to pick out, as it's easy to hear the mechanics of the actual instrument in the air at that close range. The SV has an editor that lets you really dive deep into more parameters so I'm surprised that they couldn't match the sound better.

@nicolascuenin5111 Год назад

I use a GSI sound module (same sounds as Crumar) and a litlle Yamaha Reface for Wurly emulations. But I can't tell myself which one I prefer, or the one I find closest to the real model! Maybe a mix of the 2!! The only thing that I don't really like with the crumar is the guitar amp simulation, which I find too marked (I would prefer to have a simpler drive, without cabinet effects like on the Reface)
