Is the Scarbee Rhodes a new modern Legend? scarbee.com/products/scarbee-classic-ep-88s
In this video I compare the Scarbee Rhodes to other great Rhodes piano plugins such as Lounge Lizard, Keyscape, Acousticsamples VTines, Waves 88, Neo Soul Keys, and many others. I also talk about Billy Preston and his legendary, pioneering playing of the Fender Rhodes on the Let it Be Album. The beginning of the video is a wacky comedy skit featuring John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and Billy Preston for a television show called Happy Beatles, and then it's straight to business! I play several of the presets of the Scarbee Classic 88s, and discuss the strong points of this Kontakt Library. I conclude the video by talking about the strong and weak points of this particular Rhodes Piano vst vs the other Rhodes plugins out there.
In this review, I'll go over the different aspects of the piano library, including its sounds and features. I'll also compare it to other piano libraries out there like Imperfect Sample's Ebony Grand and Cinesamples Piano in Blue. The Oeser Grand Piano is the first virtual instrument from Key Samples, a company based in the Netherlands:
"Key Instruments, situated in Friesland in the Netherlands, was established in 2020. Due to the pandemic recording sessions at Key Productions were postponed. This gave us a lot of free time to think about pursuing dreams. One of those ideas was to create the best sampled virtual piano instruments which will inspire pianists to play. Because Key Productions has a great collection of unique key instruments, it really was a no-brainer to start sampling these awesome instruments."

You can listen to the entire Fetid Souls Project here on YouTube: youtu.be/L0R1jtwYfn0
The process of writing the score took about six months. Being an audio drama and not a traditional film score, this project was a bit challenging at times, as elements that would usually be represented in a film visually needed to be represented in the score through audio. I chose to write a score that is almost completely orchestral, but there are some electronic elements present. The score was largely influenced by two composers: Danny Elfman and Bernard Herrmann. The project attempts to bridge the genres of horror and comedy, and for this type of score Danny Elfman is a good composer to emulate, as his scores for Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice include elements of horror, comedy, and drama. The Main Title is actually a bit of an homage to Elfman's Tales From the Crypt theme. Bernard Herrmann was another big influence, and for inspiration here I looked to his classic film scores - Vertigo, Psycho, and Twisted Nerve. I chose to make the score orchestral rather than focus on ambience or sound design. An ambient score is fine when you have a film or movie where the visuals are dominating or compensating for a lot of the experience, but with an audio drama, I felt that it was necessary to create soundscapes within the score using the expanded harmonic language and tones that only orchestration can provide. This kind of traditional, Old-Hollywood film scoring might sound a bit dated to modern ears, but I believe it worked well in this project and, brought a lot of the scenes and characters to life.
For this project, not only did I have to create an original orchestral score, but we also recorded many tracks of existing music. Most of these aren't included on the original soundtrack, but I have included the 4 traditional gospel hymns used in the production. We recorded traditional versions of these that included the cast singing, but in official soundtrack I have instead included the "weird" electronic versions that I made to fill-out certain parts of the score: In the Garden, Standing on the Promises, When the Roll is Called up Yonder, and In the Sweet By and By.
There are also many, many cues that didn't make it onto the final soundtrack. I'm not sure exactly how much music was written for the score, but it might be upwards of 2 or 3 hours (the entire podcasts clocks in at around 4 hours). Most of the music written for the production did make it into the final product and can be heard there.
Of course there are many small influences and references in the score besides Elfman and Herrmann. I borrowed a few ideas from Jerry Goldsmith's Alien soundtrack, specifically how he experiments with the use of delay in that score. The harmonic language of Koichi Sugiyama is an ever-present influence on the music that I write. Every composer is influenced by what has come before, but for this score, I truly hope that I have been able to make something original that serves the overall production.

This time we are testing 11 Wurlitzer plugins: Scarbee A200, Acousticsamples Wurlie, Waves Electric 200, Neo Soul Keys Studio 2 Wurli, Arturia Wurlitzer V, Adam Monroe's Wurlitzer, Acousticsamples VReeds, Soniccoutre Broken Wurli, Velvet 2, Keyscape Wurlitzer, and AAS Lounge Lizard.
In this video we will compare these different Wurlitzer plugins using classic wurlitzer tracks by Supertramp, Steely Dan, and others. We will solo the plugins, as well as listen to them in a mix. We will either use the presets of each plugin or create our own settings using the built-in effects and eq. We won't do any post-processing of the plugins, except for some light compression on the master track. The reverb you hear will be the reverb provided by each wurlitzer plugin.
At the end of the video, we will stop short of determining what the best wurlitzer vst plugin is, but I will elaborate on the pros and cons of each plugin, and give my overall opinion. At the beginning of the video is a short list of each wurlitzer vst matched to the current prices (February 2021) and a disclaimer. What's the best wurlitzer vst in 2021? Decide for yourself by watching the video and listening to what each plugin has to offer. This is only a short video on some of the presets and what each plugin can sound like, and the possibilities of each plugin are virtually limitless, so this video shouldn't be regarded as an end-all guide, but a handy reference should you be in the market to purchase a new wurlitzer plugin, to supplement further research in determining what is personally the best wurlitzer vst plugin for you. Some of the plugins are better at making certain sounds and doing certain things than others, so there isn't one ultimate best wurlitzer plugin out there, merely ones that might best suit you and your personal production needs.
This time around I've added vacuum tube simulations (this is essential for getting classic Wurlitzer tones used by bands like like Supertramp, Three Dog Night, Queen, and all the other bands who run a Wurlitzer 200a electronic piano or equivalent through tube or solid state amps, in order to get a brighter more cutting sound. In this short video I demo a few of the Wurlitzer plugin's presets which are take from popular Wurlitzer songs by SuperTramp, Queen, Three Dog Night, and Steely Dan.
The main upgrade in this plugin over version 2.0 of my Wurlitzer plugin are the vacuum tube sims. Certain presets that relied heavily on the atan function distortion now rely on the non-linear distortion of simulated vacuum tubes, and this has the overall affect of making the Wurlitzer plugin sound less digital/splatty and more analog.
I've also added about 20 presets over the last version, cabinet and amp impulse responses, as well as a Leslie Simulation that I don't demo in this video.
This is a shorter demonstration than I tend to do, but I have longer mp3s of all the Wurlitzer songs covered here on my website.
I'm using Cakewalk to demonstrate the VST version, but purchasing the plugin gets you the AU and AAX version, so no matter would DAW you are using, you should be able to load the plugin directly in.
I've also mellowed the sound of the Wurlitzer where applicable (the default preset is now a mellower tone, with an even mellower "smooth default" and a "bright default" which was the old standard). I've compared my wurlitzer plugin to a lot of other vst versions, and I've found most of them are mellower. My Wurlitzer is also generally a bit mellower sounding, but again, most of the Wurlitzer tones you hear on classic songs are mixed, eq'd, and sent through amps to come out brighter and cutting.
This is likely to be the final version of my Wurlitzer vst, as I've accomplished all the goals I set forth when designing a Wurlitzer plugin. I can see possibly adding more amplifier simulations in the future, but really, this is probably one of the better value Wurlitzer vst plugins on the market as I've spent closing in on a year of development time on it over the past few years.
This plugin also now has support for macOS Big Sur and apple arm64 processors.
Otherwise, you can contact me through my website for more personalized licensing: adammonroemusic.com
ROYALTY FREE DOES NOT MEAN FREE! It simply means that you don't have to pay ONGOING ROYALTIES associated with distribution and syndication like you would with traditionally licensed tv, film, or video game stock music that go through a Music Pro Rights Organization. This is completely the opposite model of the traditional music and film licensing.
I made this track using Spitfire BML music libraries (doesn't really exist anymore, but they are equivalent to the Spitfire Symphonic Orchestra), Cakewalk, and playing my Midi keyboard (Yamaha CP50). This track was intended to be background music for things like Harry Potter videos, but might also work for spell-casting, wizardry, witches, talking about films like Hocus Pocus, podcasts, whimsical Halloween music, ect.
I don't claim any affiliation or endorsement with Harry Potter, John Williams, J.K. Rowling, NBC Universal, or any current or future copyright holders of the Harry Potter francise.. This music was simply inspired by the Harry Potter theme.Monkey Island Theme - The Secret of Monkey Island HQ Midi CoverAdam Monroe2020-10-26 | What I've done here is taken the midi data from the original Secret of Monkey Island Theme by Michael Land, dropped it in my DAW, and replaced the sounds with virtual instruments instead of general midi. This is a note-accurate cover of the Monkey Island theme and is in fact Michael Land's original Midi performance and sequence data, I've just replaced the sounds and mixed the track The virtual instruments I've used to cover this theme music are:
Adam Monroe's Beats (Rimshot, Bassdrum) Adam Monroe's Upright Bass (Bass) Adam Monroe's Rotary Organ (Percussive Organ) Spitfire Percussion (Bongo, Conga, Marimba, Xylophone) Spitfire Woodwinds (Flute, Bassoon) Spitfire Harp Arturia Matrix 12 (Synth Intro) 8dio Steel Drum (Steel Pan Drums)
Sometimes, instead of properly covering a music theme I will just take the original midi data and update the sounds. I do this when I want to hear the original theme but with higher quality sounds instead of general midi. I might cover the Monkey Island theme sometime in the future, but it will likely just be a piano transcription.
Monkey Island is one of the most iconic classic adventure computer games of all time. It was released in 1990 and still holds up today. I first played the game as a child. If you haven't played Monkey Island and you are even slightly into gaming you should check it out.
I claim no copyright for this music, the original music copyright presumably belongs to Michael Land and possibly Disney now controls the rights to it.
Thanks for listening, I have many more music covers on my channel.Best Rhodes VST ShootoutAdam Monroe2020-10-06 | Best Rhodes VST shootout and comparison video between the best VST, AU, AAX Rhodes piano plugins currently available.

Not sure how much of an actual "cover" this, because I basically just took Lee's midi file, routed everything to decent sounding instruments instead of midi instruments, added a bunch of guitar, and mixed it. So if you ever wanted to hear the Duke Nukem theme but with better instruments, this might be for you.

Although I am playing a keyboard, a piano is not the sound you hear, so allow me to explain my process for this cover. The whole thing took 3 days - 1 day to learn and transcribe the theme music, and 2 days to record and "orchestrate" it. I recorded the performance data live like you see in the video, I then went into my DAW and changed what the midi notes trigger to match orchestral samples. I tried not to add too much to the performance that wasn't already there, hence there aren't many "extra notes," just adjustments to midi lengths and some octave shifting. I think it's amazing how much of an orchestral sound you can capture with a piano performance. I'm mostly using Spitfire BML Mural. I could have done a better orchestration, but for the most part I wasn't doing much midi automation or adding extra rhythms, just orchestrating a performance.
