EVP88

Emagic have recently released two VST-compatible plug-ins based on scaled-down versions of the existing EXS24 and EVP88 Logic-only plug-ins. As you might expect, the CD-ROM-based VST versions can be used within any Mac or PC VST 2.0-compatible music program.



EXSP24 is a playback-only version of the EXS24 sampler reviewed back in SOS September 2000 (read the review on-line at www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep00/articles/emagic.htm). Unlike its 'big brother' EXSP24 can't be used to record samples or to create programs using audio files recorded in the host program, although it can import 16-or 24-bit Akai and SoundFont 2 library sample programs, as well as Emagic's own sample format. A useful library of around 500Mb of assorted samples comes with the package.



EVP73 is based on the Fender Rhodes Suitcase model that came with the Logic-only EVP88 plug-in reviewed in last July's SOS (see www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul01/articles/emagicevp88.asp), and because the Rhodes sound is modelled rather than sampled, it responds extremely well to playing dynamics. As on EVP88, the decay and release of the modelled tines can be adjusted, as can the volume of the bell and damper components of the sound, but the nice distortion, phaser and chorus of the original have been left out. The tremolo effect remains, however, and because EVP73 is a VST plug-in, it's easy enough to add a phaser plug-in or some other form of processor later in the signal chain.
