'Chiff Bass': this offers a mellow mid range for chords, and rounded bass octaves with a 'chiffy' attack ideal for jazz workouts.

'Chorused Rhodes': there's a lot of Rhodes presets on offer, including 'Mellow', 'Tinefull', 'Tineless', 'Old School', and 'Fully Serviced', but this is my favourite, for the delicacy of its tine sound and the 'bark' when you dig in.

Next up is a set of sounds which attempt to emulate electric piano sounds on a variety of classic tracks, and with names such as 'Dreamer', 'Riders On The Storm', and 'No Quarter', you should soon be able to work out the original sources of inspiration! The Experimental folder uses the engine to produce more unexpected sounds such as organs, vibes, bells, and chimes, with more extreme effects settings, and the collection is rounded up with two sets of signature sounds from Christian Halten ( and yours truly. However, Panel A is completely new, and its contents are discussed in the box on the right.ĪAS have put a lot more effort into the detail of their bundled library, with a 'Guided Tour' section at the top that quickly showcases the range of available sounds, followed by folders dedicated to classic Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds, and a range of custom electric pianos that push the engine to more extreme tonal values and dynamics. Panel B houses the sound-generating components, and will be fairly recognisable to existing users.

The same reorganisation also results in the MIDI channel, polyphony, and activity controls moving to the main display from the Toolbar, so there's now enough space on the latter to display long preset names in full (hooray again!).

Like AAS's String Studio, (see SOS August 2005) Lounge Lizard EP3 now has two switched front Panels (A and B) instead of one, which means that each one can be narrower, and AAS have taken advantage of this to add variable width to their preset Browser (just drag the divider between the two halves of the interface), so you can always read each preset name in full without horizontal scrolling (hooray!). Finally, there's a completely new three-band semi-parametric EQ module to replace the more basic bass/treble controls of Lounge Lizard 2. The dampers now interact with the Fork parameters, and there's also a new Balance control that alters whether you hear the damper noise in the attack portion of the instrument, in the release phase, or in a mixture of the two. The Damper module provides more refined modelling of the noise of the dampers being applied to or released from the fork.

However, EP3 has a new and improved Fork model, while the two pickup models now offer electromagnetic (Rhodes) and electrostatic (Wurlitzer) options for a much wider range of sounds, plus a keyboard scaling control, so that you can more easily balance levels at the bass and treble ends of the keyboard.

However, the recently arrived Lounge Lizard EP3 sets itself even higher standards in the company's search for physically modelled perfection.Īt the heart of this third incarnation is the same physically modelled combination of a mallet hitting a fork (comprising a tine and tone bar), amplified by a magnetic pickup. Given the amount of praise that Lounge Lizard has already received for its accurate Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer models from both artists and the press, you might expect AAS to rest on these laurels and move on to different projects ( see SOS October 2002, for our original review of the instrument). Most recent electric piano virtual instruments have been sample-based, but in Lounge Lizard, AAS continue to fly the flag for their physical modelling technology version 3 offers an improved fork model, plus modelled electromagnetic and electrostatic pickups. Panel B contains the various modules that make up this unique physical string model and allow you to interact with its various parameters.
