The short answer is yes, the Canterbury can definitely sparkle - Both the Canterbury and the Scarbee can be drastically changed by the presets and settings. Here is a quick comparison between the Canterbury Suitcase and the Scarbee 88 with brighter settings playing a bit of Toontrack midi. One nice thing about Canterbury is that the presets are divided up between "Clean", "Dirty" and "Experimental". Both are great Rhodes libraries.

The original complaints about the hiss were in July of 2020. It looks like the update claiming to have fixed the hiss was in October 2020. I haven't pulled the trigger on purchasing the Famous E yet so I can't verify any of this. I'm only sharing what little information you can glean from the internet.

Scarbee’s earlier A200 is 850 MB. The Classic EP-88S is 5.6 GB with 30 velocity layers. To my ears the Classic EP88 sounds better. More importantly, provided you have a fast computer, it plays way better! That said, I use the Soniccouture Canterbury Suitcase most often. It seems to have more grit than the Classic EP88. Most of the current Rhodes releases are all quite good. It really comes down to personal taste. It’s fun to have many flavors!

Apparently the Famous E hiss has been fixed. See the post below.. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/the-famous-e-electric-piano-available-now-from-orange-tree-samples.95739/page-2

Do you have both? I own the Scarbee Classic EP, and like it a lot. It is light years beyond the older Scarbee vintage keys included in Native Instruments Komplete. I haven't completed my Orange Tree group buy yet because I'm still on the fence with the Famous E. It does sound really good in the demos and I'm feeling like I must have it. That said, what would my wife say if she were to find out that I own five Rhodes libraries and I just bought a 6th. Arggg, what to do......

Midi pack addiction is no laughing mater. As of late, I've been living on the street breaking into cars and robbing tourists to support my midi pack habit. I would then resell old or substandard midi packs to go buy more midi packs! One midi pack is too much and 1000 isn't enough. Hell, I really need to quit this lifestyle...

For those of you that bought the Famous E Electric Piano, how does it compare to other high quality Rhodes libraries like Scarbee’s Classic EP-88S or Soniccouture’s Canterbury Suitcase? I own both of these which are great in different ways. The Classic-EP-88s samples are super clean and refined (although you can dirty the sound up nicely). The Canterbury Suitcase has a rawness and realism that is also very compelling. Orange Tree’s Famous E presets sound like they perhaps have more emphasized bell tones. I wish there was a video of all the presets like other Orange Tree products. I have to say, I’m feeling itchy to also own the Famous E.

I keep my ILok software up to date and I’ve had zero issues. Updating has not been a problem.

A question for those who have many Orange Tree libraries: If you were an Orange Tree virgin and only going to buy one Orange Tree electric guitar library, which one would it be? I’m leaning toward the Hollowbody Blues. Is sounds great and appears to be quite versatile.

Looks promising. I’d like to hear it side by side with Lounge Lizard’s Wurlitzer.

I bought this based primarily on the strong reviews of the group here. I’m looking forward to downloading it and trying it out after work tonight!

Looks interesting. For years I’ve been trying to find something that will allow me to use my third piano pedal to turn the pages on PDF sheet music. I don’t much care for the third party custom page turner pedals. They move around too much.

Already buying a bigger hard drive in anticipation of my win.

Looks interesting. It’s curious that the website doesn’t appear to show the size of the sample library.

I’m waiting for EZManager, EZPromoter, and EZRoadie.

A welcome addition the EZBass lineup. That said, I would still like to see an upright bass in the future.

Me too. Studio One user. I’ve never tried Cakewalk. I’m not much of a baker.

Yes - Rats! No deals on Falcon expansions.

Any idea what type of bass they sampled?
