Going Electric
The Wurly electro-mechanical piano has a sound all its own. Is there such a thing as a perfect emulation? Wurli V sings for itself
Our exclusive physical modeling technology, Phi®, renders every detail of this classic EP - the reeds, the pickups, the preamp - everything. Simply put, the only other way to play or record a Wurli this real is to hunt down a perfect specimen.
Three Dog Bite
The original Wurli won over acoustic pianists with its huge dynamic range. Physical modeling puts every single dB of it beneath your fingers.
Wurli Wonderland
Wurli V can sound like any Wurli or launch into otherworldly soundscapes, injecting the flavor of the ’60s and ’70s into the songs of tomorrow.
New Tricks
Wurli V doesn’t stop at authentic. Pop the hood and tweak the components to your liking, choose your amp or speaker, and crank it with FX. A full EP rig.
The Old Reliable
You’ll love that it never needs tuning or maintenance. Your computer will love that it’s highly CPU-efficient.
A Keyboardist’sBest Friend
The quest for a portable, electrically amplified piano is almost as old as the use of electricity itself.
The Wurly was an instant hit with everyone from Ray Charles to Supertramp to the band at the corner pub.
Wurli V reproduces the model 200A, the most popular and enduring of the lineup. Compact, portable, stable, and stackable, it got close enough to the dynamic range of an acoustic piano to give players a consistent and great sounding keyboard they could carry from gig to gig.
Simplicity Elevated
By definition, an electric piano doesn’t need a lot of controls. But it plays very nice with effects and an amp. Wurli V’s main interface has it all.
Wurli V keeps it real, adding only the accessories that players of the original might have run their pianos through.
Good Vibes
Like the real thing, this knob says Vibrato but it’s really Tremolo. Dial some in!
Sustainable
One improvement on the original: You’ll never lose this sustain pedal, which latches to free up your foot while you tweak your perfect sound.
Cry, Baby
Wah-wah is essential, and Wurli V offers both a MIDI-assignable pedal and this Auto Wah, which follows your touch.
Stompbox Buffet
Four slots worth of modeled effects make your sound retro-perfect. Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, Analog Delay, Compressor, Overdrive, and more.
Say What?
Wurli V speaks to your creativity - literally - with the talkbox and formant vowel effects of the Vocal Filter
Sonic Space
Thanks to our built-in processor, you won’t need to go outside the plug in for period-authentic reverb.
Amped Attitude
If you had a Wurly, you needed an amp. Run through our combo amp model with multiple mic types, or put a new spin on things with the Leslie!
No Soldering Required
Get inside Wurli V. Change its mechanics. The result is a sound palette that goes far beyond what any single electric piano - or even a collection of them - can do.
It’s called the Advanced Panel, and it takes the cover off of Wurli V to reveal a level of precise control only physical modeling can accomplish.
Full EQ
The 10-band graphic equalizer shapes your sound to the track, the room, or the desired sound of the moment.
Harmonic Convergence
Eight harmonic profiles vary the base physical model, from subtle takes on the original to outliers like organ harmonics and digital FM.
Pickup Gig
Vary the distance, axis, and impedance of the virtual pickups. Tweak tone and sustain like a seasoned Wurly tech!
Drop the Hammer
Simulate different vintages and conditions of the piano with the hammer hardness and noise parameters.
Attention to Detail
We even included knobs for how much mechanical chatter releasing the keys or pressing the sustain pedal makes.
Optimize Your Touch
Choose from preset multi-point velocity curves or create your own. Wurli V responds to your playing and MIDI controller how you want it to.
