Wurlie – Based on a Wurlitzer 206A Student Model

The Wurlitzer 206A very similar to a 200A except for its beige color and built in amp/speaker (it also did not come with a tremolo). It was designed to be paired with a 206, which is the teacher model and they were mainly used in conservatories. The teacher had a headphone and microphone to be able to listen to each student individually and talk to them without others hearing them.

Once equipped with a DI output and a tremolo system (this is a very common and easy mod with just a few components to solder on the preexisting holes in the original circuit board) the 206A sounds exactactly like a 200A with the exception that it also has a built in amp that is more powerfull and has more bass than the two small front speakers of the 200A’s.

Authentic Reed Sound

This is a 1.21GB library built for the UVI Workstation (free). UVI recorded every aspect of the Wurlie from both the direct output using a state of the art DI (Universal Audio Solo 610) and also using a pair of microphones right above the keys next to where the head of a player would be:

Normal notes

Staccatos

Releases

Sympathetic resonances for both pedal up and down

Precise Resonance Model

This library also comes with a number of addtional features that allow you to customise the sound perfectly to your particular playing or music style:

Spring reverb

Tube Distortion

Analog Chorus

Analog Flanger

The “Wurlie” is truly the most detailed and accurate recreation of the famous reeds electric piano sound!
