Elementary Sounds REKA v1.0.0 mac

REKA is a digital Soviet-Lithuanian piano Venta EM-17.
During the working process our goal was not simply to copy the original sound into the digital world, but rather to augment it with our own vision of the times in which it was produced.

The instrument was recorded in 3 different versions.

Recording with a Tesla channel strip that was made in Czechoslovakia, a Mosfet compressor from 1981 and a lot of other vintage tube gear, with the final shaping done by the Studer tape mastering recorder, we obtained a version of Venta EM-17 combining its original majesty with our own vision. This is version 1 – a pure sound of the instrument.

The other 2 versions have several augmentations. They were recorded implementing an additional rare Soviet MN-61 recorder, which uses a very thin wire instead of a usual tape to capture sound. This resulted in an inimitable version of an instrument every time we recorded and so these two options offer Venta EM-17 with ever so slightly different sentiments.

It is important for us to mention that all three versions can be used in mono and stereo.

Overall, you do not need to use any additional plugins to emulate analog sound, tape, etc. REKA’s sound is already warm and has a very specific character. Simply combine all the 3 versions or use them separately to discover your own favourite one.
