Why use it
What it doesElectric piano that barks when you dig in and turns bell-like when you back off.
Reach for it whenR&B and neo-soul chords, ballad verses, lo-fi beds.
What makes it differentPickup model rather than FM, so velocity moves the tone continuously. Note onset 1-7 ms. Tremolo, chorus, phaser, amp and reverb built in.
A tine electric piano. Not an FM approximation — a damped sine driven through an offset pickup, differentiated the way a real pickup reads a moving tine. That differentiation and the pickup offset are where the bark comes from, and it's why it opens up when you dig in instead of just getting louder.
Play it soft and it's a bell. Play it hard and it barks.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· Overlapping MIDI notes on the same key no longer cut each other off — the first note-off used to release both voices.
· The waveform jump on a re-strike dropped from about 5x the surrounding level to 1.05x.
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
EARLIER IN 1.6
· Onset latency: the bundled samples had 350-380 ms of pre-roll - trimmed to under 7 ms
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and on the download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
