Description

The Chocolate Audio 88 Series Pianos – Model 80 v2 is a meticulously sampled virtual instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt, designed to authentically recreate the sound of the classic Yamaha CP80 compact electric grand piano. This plugin is not a simple sample player; it’s a sophisticated virtual instrument that captures every nuance of the original, from its characteristic edgy midrange to its shallow lows and “stingy” highs.

Version 2 brings significant improvements, including a new GUI, enhanced CPU and voice management, and added features like half-pedaling support and a Key Level Trimmer for customizing the dynamic response. The library features over 1,900 samples, including multiple dynamic layers, release trails, and noise layers for the sustain pedal and key releases. With a dry recording approach, it provides maximum flexibility for sound design using Kontakt’s onboard effects, which include a three-band EQ, compressor, tape emulation, and a collection of 101 custom IR reverbs. The Model 80 v2 is perfect for adding that iconic ’70s and ’80s electric piano sound to any track.
