Wurly Premier G

I recorded these samples way back in 2001, yet some people still say that this is their favorite Wurlitzer library. I think that is probably because it was recorded using the built in mini speakers of Wurlitzer, instead of through line in. The Wurlitzer is a vintage keyboard, and therefore a completely analog system. It makes a lot of background noises, which are missing from most keys in the digital age. For example, it has poor SN, and you can hear the constant striking of the wooden hammers coming to meet the metal reeds. That’s just one of the reasons why the sound of these vintage keys are so sweet and fascinating.

I never tried to clean up the sound, because I believe these natural background noises are very very important. Wurly Premier G has 2 different release noises at the same time. One is for the sound that mute pad touching the strings makes, and the other is hammer release action. The famous Wurlitzer tremolo is also equipped of course, and adjusted exactly to the same pitch of true Wurlitzer LFO. I wanted to build a clone of the Wurlitzer 200A instrument.

The new version is now available with a clean GUI. (Sample files are the same as previous version.) This library has been an asset and enjoyable part of my life for a long time, and now it’s your turn. We give Wurly Premier G to you for free. Enjoy the sweetness of the elegant sounds as if you had the actual Wurlitzer right in front of you. And we are happy if you kindly give your voice and share it with us.
