Lounge Lizard EP-3 for Mac OS X and Windows -- an upgrade of the award-winning electric piano -- has been released by Applied Acoustics Systems.

With this new version, Lounge Lizard EP-3 includes an extensive new preset library, a new multi-effect module, refined modeling of the tone and tine bars, improved pickup modeling, and support for micro-tuning.

New features in Lounge Lizard EP3 include:

• Presets  The brand new library fully exploits the refinements on offer and covers all your electric piano needs.
• Effects  The high-end effect section has been extended with tremolo, wah, chorus, phaser, delay, reverb, and EQ—making Lounge Lizard a complete and self-contained electric piano solution.
• Pickup model  Two pickup types are now available for a wider character range: electromagnetic (Rhodes™) and electrostatic (Wurlitzer™). In addition, scaling has been added for even volume across the entire keyboard.
• Fork model  The new and improved Fork model adds upper harmonic content for an even more authentic sound.
• Damper model  The improved Damper now closely interacts with the Fork and provides superb dynamic response.
• Audio Recorder  The integrated audio Recorder captures inspired moments on the fly.
• Micro-Tuning  Custom tunings are now possible with the added support for Scala files.

The Lounge Lizard EP-3 is available now at a suggested retail price of $249 for Mac OS X and Windows systems, and as an upgrade for existing Lounge Lizard users at $49. Users who bought or registered previous versions of Lounge Lizard after the 1st of September 2005 can upgrade free of charge.

Lounge Lizard EP-3 is available as a standalone version and supports DXi, VST, AudioUnits and RTAS (Mac OS only) plug-in formats.
