Description

REKA

REKA is a virtual instrument meticulously crafted to deliver the unique sound of the Venta EM-17 piano, a rare Soviet-Lithuanian instrument. We’ve meticulously captured its essence using vintage gear like a Tesla channel strip, a 1981 Mosfet compressor, and a Studer tape mastering recorder, resulting in a version that retains the original character while adding a touch of our own sonic vision.

Three distinct variations, endless inspiration

This base edition (v1.0.0) offers the pure, unadulterated sound of the Venta EM-17. For additional sonic exploration, consider the full version which features two additional variations:

• Version 2: Recorded with a rare Soviet MN-61 recorder, known for its unique sonic character due to its use of thin wire instead of traditional tape.
• Version 3: Each note offers ever-so-slightly different sonic nuances due to the unpredictable nature of the MN-61 recorder, providing a truly organic and unpredictable playing experience.

Unparalleled Playability and Control

• Custom tape and Eurorack patches: Explore a curated selection of custom-designed patches inspired by vintage tape manipulation and Eurorack modular synthesis for a truly distinctive sound.
