Velvet 2 is a virtual electronic piano plugin from AIR Music Technology that models five classic electric pianos from the 60s and 70s. It is available in VST3, VST2 and AU formats for Windows and macOS.
Velvet 2 brings together five classic electric pianos in one instrument. The developer says it models the response and sound of each original, with dynamic modelling it describes as delivering strong sound quality and dynamic response. Each model can be shaped through its timbre, dynamic response and velocity curve, and keyboard and pedal mechanical noise can be mixed in for added realism. A built-in preamp, EQ and effects section rounds out the sound.
Velvet 2 is built around five electric piano instruments from the 60s and 70s. Its voicing is based on these models, and each one can be adjusted for timbre, dynamic response and velocity curve.
The Vintage Mode setting, which the developer describes as tuning the timbre toward the sound of classic recordings, is a quick way to move closer to a period sound without manual tweaking.
The preamp section offers tube overdrive and compression for a crunchy tone. A 3-band EQ with a parametric mid band handles quick tone shaping.
The effects section includes tremolo and autopan, vintage distortion, wah and filter, modulation, a classic tape delay, and Ambience, Spring and Room reverbs. MIDI Learn lets you map controls to your MIDI controller.
