I gotta put in a thumbs-up for that plugin, Overloud's VKFX (Vintage Keyboard FX). I got it bundled with Scarbee's "Keyboard Gold Bundle" back before he joined with Native Instruments.mhschmieder wrote:What the other reviewer says is that the limitations of Kontakt for effects (a reason given by Gospel Musicians for why they switched to UVI from Kontakt), are crippling when it comes to e-pianos. You can use plug-in VST's/AU's later on, but to be frank, the only one worth considering is the Overloud effects suite that used to be part of Scarbee's range, and even that one isn't as good as the "real deal" in hardware.
I think it's a really under-appreciated and great-sounding plugin. The "virtual rack" design is very flexible and easy to use (I wish MOTU would do something similar for DP's pedals).
The combination of VKFX + Scarbee's Mark I still sounds quite good to me.
While I play acoustic piano almost exclusively, I like having high-quality Rhodes, Clav, and Wurly libraries, even if just for just messing around. For clav, Scarbee's is OK, but I prefer Sonic Couture's Clav (a "D"). For Wurly, I like Acoustic Samples' Wurlie, which runs in the UVI Workstation.
That said, I couldn't resist ordering Keyscape...
