Attack EP88 is the world's first tacked electric piano library and possibly the most comprehensive electric piano library of any kind. Built on a foundation of over 47,000 samples, Attack EP88 is an incredibly rich sounding and deeply customizable instrument, providing numerous discrete signal paths including DI, tube, contact mic, mono mic and stereo pair, unique envelopes and effects for both the electric and acoustic signals, and discrete voicing and tuning controls for all 88 keys. The only library of its kind, Attack EP88 delivers an entirely new take on the much-loved electric piano sound, in the most user- friendly and comprehensive way we could imagine.
Tack Piano
A 'tack' piano is a form of prepared piano most commonly seen on acoustic uprights where, as in this example, each of the hammers has had a brass tack or metal device installed on or between the mallets and the resonators. The sound is most definitely still piano but the initial attack phase is accentuated, it's more present, with a resonant metallic brilliance.
As it turns out this preparation is quite exceptional on electric piano. The tonal character is almost bell-like in quality, giving a completely new perspective and life to the classic electric piano sound
Approach
Attack EP88 begins with a perfectly restored 88-key Rhodes Mark I prepared with a brass tack on the striking surface of each hammer. The goal of the project was to essentially deliver an entire virtual studio built around this instrument, allowing users to customize and explore it when and how they want. Doing this properly requires a number of sound sources and quite extensive recordings of each. Throughout, the utmost attention to quality and detail was made for everything from equipment selection to final editing, from UI and preset design to assembly.
For the acoustic signals we employed a stereo pair of Bruel and Kjaer mics, a Neumann U67 in the mono position and per-key recordings with a contact mic attached directly to the tine. For each note 8 velocities and up to 5 round-robins were recorded per-source, along with 5 round-robins for both the sustain and release samples. This was done 3 times for the electronic sources, once for each of the 3 included voicings (where the tack position is shifted on the hammer, resulting in changes of color from deep to thin). Additional recordings were made to capture the pedal-up and pedal-down sounds, this was done for the mono, stereo, contact and DI signals with 7 round-robins for each. The result of this process was a working base of over 47,000 samples, a truly massive library that beautifully captured even the most subtle nuances of the piano.
Instrument
The next task was to distill this enormous sample complexity into a focused and easy-to- use instrument. Attack EP88's audio sources are routed internally via three busses, one for the contact mic, one for mono and stereo mics, and one for the DI and tube channels. Each bus is equipped with a number of useful mixing tools including envelopes and effects, making it easy to dial in particular sounds or explore new ones. The user interface was carefully designed to make editing these signals as simple as possible, with acoustic sources at the top of the UI and electric at the bottom. The acoustic busses are equipped with a 3-band EQ, Dual Delay and Sparkverb, and the electric bus with distortion, the 8- voice Thorus, phaser, Dual Delay and Sparkverb.
Full control of these busses is made across 3 pages, Main, FX and Settings. A fourth and final page provides per-note control of voicing (each of which represents an entirely unique sample set per-source) and per-note control of tuning. Attack EP88 comes with 70 expertly designed presets which quickly display its fantastic detail and extraordinary sonic breadth. These can be used either as ready-to-play configurations or launchpads for near-endless exploration.
Unlike Any Other
Attack EP88 is an easy-to-use yet brilliantly deep instrument, one most people aren't likely to quickly exhaust. Providing everything from basic DI setups to rich and elaborate multi- channel configurations with custom envelopes and effects, Attack EP88 provides an extreme versatility, musical quality and immediacy that make it both a joy and inspiration to use.!
Attack EP88 is compatible with current versions of UVI Workstation, a featured freeware sample instrument, and Falcon, the premier hybrid instrument, combining 15 oscillators, 80 effects, modulators, scriptable event processors and more.

I nice everyday bag!
I love this bag. I use it every day. I was tired of carrying around large purses. I was tired of carrying around just wallets. I needed something to be able to hold a few things that was ease of use. This bag really did that for me it has 2 pockets one side I keep my phone in among some paper documents. The other side has spots for a few cards and whatever else you would like to put inside. It’s light weight and the strap is super cute and the design as a whole is great. Definitely worth the money for this style.

Great Bag!
I used this bag all over Europe this summer! It was so easy and convenient to have access to my wallet, sunscreen, sunglasses in one spot over my best. The bag was super cute and held a lot of items. The thick strap was really good for support and even held up during the really hot days. There are a few different pockets which is helpful as well. I recommend this bag! :)

Great for the price
I'm really happy with this bag, especially for the price. The two pockets are nice and large enough to fit my kindle, so I was excited about that. The card holders built in to the bag make it easy to just take the few card you need without bringing a whole wallet.
