The Wurlybird 140B Black Friday deal takes 25% off Cherry Audio's sampled electric piano, bringing it to $29 until Dec 1, 2026.
Wurlybird 140B is a sample-based electro-acoustic virtual instrument built on the early 60s Wurlitzer 140B. Cherry Audio calls it its first instrument of this kind.
The maker describes the 140B as the crown jewel of the Wurly family, and says many fans rate its action and tone above the later 200 and 200A models.
The source is a rare 1964 140B owned by keyboardist and songwriter Tom Hammer. Sound designer and sample programmer Mike Martin sampled it in depth, capturing the response of every key and reed.
The maker says a professionally restored instrument was used for the recordings.
Cherry Audio adds subtle randomization to key release and pedal sounds, so repeated notes don't trigger identical samples. The sustain pedal "clunk" is part of the picture too.
The original preamp is modeled, and the vibrato/tremolo is modeled to match. There is also an adjustable background hum if you want the noise floor of a real amp in the signal.
Four main controls sit on the resizable UI:
The stompbox-style effects section holds eight effects:
The Phaser and LoFi use new algorithms written for this instrument.
50 presets by sound designer James Terris run from classic to modern tones. The Wurly has a long track record on records by Ray Charles, Queen, Three Dog Night and Supertramp, and more recently Beck and Billie Eilish.
The plugin comes as AU, VST, VST3, AAX and standalone. Hard disk space is 309 MB, and an internet connection is needed for product activation.
MIDI control and DAW automation are complete, and MIDI learn mapping is built in.
Yes. The Wurlybird 140B Black Friday deal takes 25% off Cherry Audio's electric piano plugin, bringing it to $29. The deal runs until Dec 1, 2026.
You get the sampled 1964 Wurlitzer 140B instrument, 50 presets by James Terris, and eight stompbox-style effects. Controls cover Vibrato (Tremolo), Tune, Hum and Velocity Curve. Preamp modeling and randomized key release and pedal sounds are part of the engine.
It's available as VST, VST3, AU, AAX and standalone. It runs on 64-bit macOS 10.13 or above, including native Apple M1 or greater, and on 64-bit Windows 7 or above, including Windows 11. It needs 309 MB of disk space.
It was sampled from keyboardist and songwriter Tom Hammer's 1964 Wurlitzer 140B. Sound designer Mike Martin captured the response of every key and reed in a deep multi-sample session, and Cherry Audio modeled the original preamp.
