Best CP-50/70 samples

[Tommy]

Hi fellas,

I've already seen lots of libraries and virtual instruments out there that brilliantly emulate a Rhodes, a Wurlitzer or a Steinway. But does anybody know what the best Yamaha CP-70 or CP-80 emulation is?

You know, the 'Somewhere Only We Know (Keane) piano sound ;)

Thx!

I don’t know of any emulations but there’s a CP-80 sample set from www.prominy.com and www.hollowsun.com have announced a CP-70 library that should be out soon. There’s actually an mp3 demo featuring a Keane intro at the Hollowsun website:
