Still no XL versions of these e.pianos?

Post by Nordine »

Hi,

Clavia has not released the XL version of these e.pianos:

EP4 MK V, Ideal Close
EP3 MK II, Shallow Close
EP2 MK I Suitcase, Close Ideal
EP1 MK I, Low Deep

it's very strange... while the e.pianos from 5 to 9 have all their XL versions.

Okay - I´m not sure - but just for you to check / try ...

Isn´t it, that they put these new Sounds already as a "kind" of update of the former samples into the archive?

EP1 Deep Timbre Sml 6.1 - 7,6MB (ref former EPiano1 Mk I Low Deep - 6,2MB)
EP2 Ideal Timbre Sml 6.1 - 6,9MB (ref former EPiano2 Mk I ClosIdeal - 6,2MB)
EP2 Ideal Timbre Lrg 6.1 - 10,6 MB (update of the above?!?)
EP3 Shallow Close Sml 6.1 - 7,2MB (ref former EPiano3 Mk II Shallow - 6,9MB)
EP4 MK5 80s Sml 6.1 - 7,5MB (ref former EPiano4 Mk V ClosIdeal - 7,3MB)
EP4 MK5 80s Lrg 6.1 - 12,2MB (update of the above)
... onstage since '78 on the endless (?) hunt for the perfect stage keyboard...

Maybe they don't need a XL version?
with regards,

This or maybe if the original sampleset was not "fully mapped" and/or that specific Rhodes they sampled is no longer available or changed, they would need to create a brand new sampleset which would not necessarily sound as the current one.
