Sampleson tells us that Electrix is the recreation of the rare and famous Hohner Electra Piano T used by Led Zeppelin in "Stairway to Heaven", "Misty Mountain Hop", "No Quarter" and "Down by the Seaside". They say that the sound can be described as half-way between Rhodes and Wurlitzer, but with a vintage dirty touch. Here's more details from Sampleson...
Hohner created The Electra Piano T in the early 70's and was followed by other electric piano manufacturers. It uses forks strucked by hammers and electronically converts vibrations transmitted to a transistorised amplifier. Electrix is the result of more than 1200 hours of develop and testing. Native 64bit and perfectly balanced to fit into any professional mix. Available for Mac and PC, VSTi, AU and Standalone versions are included. Electrix Piano is a sound-modelled instrument and was made recreating every single detail from the original Hohner Electra Piano T. Main sound, noises, releases, tines, resonance and effects have been carefully integrated into a serious dynamic range instrument.
