GROWLING AND SNARLING ? Play
OR WARM AND MELLOW ? Play

Broken Wurli is a totally unique electric piano instrument - using the 3 dials on the front panel you can mix any sound you need;
from classic, clean line out, to growling distortion and buzzing chords.

With 9 velocity layers with 3 alternate samples per note Broken Wurli feels truly physical and mechanical - a true electric piano experience.

RECORDING THE BROKEN-NESS

To capture the full range of the Wurli, 4 different mics were used in the studio. A pair of vintage 1970s AKG 414s, one on each speaker, to record the warmth and low end. Then an SM57, for that essential dynamic mic sound, and finally a Sennheiser e600 series dynamic mic for a further contrasting character. The mics were then mixed down to a mono channel for each speaker.

RACKS OF CHARACTER

The mics were paired with some esoteric 1970s preamps by Neumann and Siemens. The line-out signal was also recorded simultaneously, giving the 3 distinct sounding channels that make up the Broken Wurli instrument.

THE KONTAKT INSTRUMENT

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

The main instrument panel contains the level controls for the two speakers and the line out. There is also a full ADSR envelope for shaping the sound, and an extensive filter section with its own modulation envelope. There is an added Tremolo control for further classic EP sounds.

OPTIONS PANEL

The options panel gives a wealth of performance tweaking: velocity setup with curve adjustment, memory management control which allows unloading of unused samples, the key-off level control, and output noise envelope adjustment.

EFFECTS PANEL

A comprehensive selection of creative soun design effects: auto-wah, auto-pan, chorus, phaser, delay & convolution reverb,
compressor, cabinet, EQ and distortion effects
