EASI drivers

After much dismay in trying to find an Electric Piano VST or whatever to fill the void from the excellent EVP88 (as I switched over from Logic to SX after Apple's buyout) I finally decided to try and get Logic and SX running together so I can still use Logic's proprietary instuments. The thought was that I'd use ASIO for SX and EASI for Logic. However, I find that SFP 3.1c no longer comes equipped with EASI drivers!

Is anyone using EASI drivers sucessfully with SFP3.1c? If so, can they email me a copy of the device or direct me to the appropriate place for a copy that works?

Thanks,

Sam

As far as I know, the EASI thing died a horrible death. I seem to remember it coincided with proper ASIO implementation in Logic.

It's not supported or promoted by emagic anymore, so I would guess that's why it has not appeared in the Creamware software for quite a while.

Incidentally, have you tried the Lounge Lizard VST instrument? It's way more realistic-sounding than the EVP, although I've heard from several keyboard players that it's not as 'playable' as the EVP.

Speaking of the EVP88, does anybody know of a similary classic EP synth for the SCOPE Fusion platform?

To be honest, a bank of classic and acoustic piano sounds is the only thing sitting between my wallet and a NOAH.

CW says they're currently making one for Noah, to be released later this year. It's in a press release on their Web site.

TRMP8R, Kensuguru made a Modular II/III patch which comes very close to the classic Rhodes sound.
The Python Pro (distr. by Zarg) does very good EPianos if tweaked properly.
It's structure of oscillation/resonance comes rather close to the physical model.
I have the EVP88 and consider myself a big fan of those instruments, but I'm about to sell it due to some great patches mentioned above (Python's ePianos were actually the trigger to buy it) and last but not least on the DX7.
I found half a dozen real jewels among several hundred 'Rhodes' programs and considering the 50 bucks I payed for the TX version it's hard to beat

cheers, Tom
