Free Music Software: Mokafix has introduced Glue Reeds – a free virtual electric piano for Windows, based on a Pianet mechanism.

Glue Reeds uses reactive synthesis which emulates each part of the sound generating process.

Pickups response is carefully emulated, producing a very expressive instrument with great dynamics.

Feature list:

• Velocity curve control
• Physical parameters adjustments
• Seemless dynamic response
• Endless sustain decay
• Authentic EP sound thanks to Reactive Synthesis

GlueReeds is freeware. it is available as a VSTi for PC.

About the Pianet

Like the Wurlitzer, the Pianet used reeds, like the Rhodes it had individual pickups, and like no other instrument it used sticky foam pads to pull and release the reeds instead of a hammer to hit them.

Unique ingredients for a very special result :

• reeds for an uneven sound, with rich overtones.
• electro-magnetic pickups for a hot sound and no buzzing
• sticky hammers that gave it poor dynamic response and rather soft sound compared to its two barking big brothers.
