Sampleson spectral model a Honer Pianet T into the 30MB Model T
Sampleson has developed a method of sampling instruments and recreating them through spectral modelling. It can take a huge sample library and reduce it down to simple sine waves which can then recreate the exact timbre and behaviour of the instrument. They began with the Electra Piano T, then the Rhodes and Wurlitzer and this time it’s the turn of the Hohner Pianet T which is recreated as the Model T.

These continue to be quite remarkable. Each one sounds great. They are as pure and simple as the original instrument without all that mucking around with articulations, velocity switching and alternative sample sets. You just have their Organic Behaviour Algorithm recreating a detailed and authentic sound and a couple of processes.
The Hohner Pianet T was the simplest of electromechanical pianos of the 70s and 80s. It was based on reeds and generates a warm, bell-like but dark tone. All of the analysis done by Sampleson includes mechanical noises and all the lumps and bumps present in the original instrument. The original didn’t have a sustain pedal but this has been added. You have control over drive, reverb, velocity, mechanics and release. That’s it and it sounds beautiful.
