UJAM Releases Virtual Pianist GRIT

UJAM announces Virtual Pianist GRIT, the latest addition to its Virtual Pianist series. They say that, modeled from a rare, customized Wurlitzer 120 electric piano, GRIT delivers a raw, character-driven sound and rhythmic pianist phrases designed to bring edge, movement, and attitude to arrangements and productions. It is the second electric pianist in the series, following VIBE, and is described as offering a distinctly more rugged and expressive voice. Here's the details direct from UJAM...

An electric rebel
Designed to behave as much like a rhythm instrument as a traditional keyboard, GRIT approaches the electric piano from a performance-focused perspective. It adds drive and momentum to any arrangement. As part of UJAM's Virtual Pianist series, GRIT features a built-in player that acts like a personal session pianist, producing realistic accompaniments using phrase-based performances that can be adjusted in terms of harmony, style, and dynamics. It is well-suited to music ranging from 1960s soul and 1970s funk to indie, electronic, ambient, and cinematic productions. Instrument mode also allows musicians to play the sampled electric piano directly for a more hands-on approach.
 
"Most producers already have plenty of electric piano plug-ins, so the challenge was finding one that truly felt different," said Derek von Krogh, Virtual Pianist co-creator. "This customized Wurlitzer 120 stood out immediately. It has an edge and character you do not hear in more familiar electric piano sounds. I have always been drawn to the Wurlitzer's direct, working-class attitude, and GRIT pushes that personality even further. It is raw, expressive, and brings a very distinct voice to the Virtual Pianist series."
