Wurlybird 140B is Cherry Audio's first sample-based electro-acoustic virtual instrument,
modeled after the 1964 Wurlitzer 140B,
considered by many to be the crown jewel of the legendary Wurlitzer electric piano family.
Though the 200-series models are more widely known — and often emulated —
many devoted Wurly enthusiasts believe the 140B to have superior action and tone quality.​

Wurlybird 140B 是 Cherry Audio 第一款基于采样的电声虚拟乐器,
以 1964 年的 Wurlitzer 140B 为原型,
许多人都认为它是 Wurlitzer 传奇电钢琴家族中的瑰宝。
尽管 200 系列型号更广为人知,也经常被模仿,
但许多 Wurly 的忠实爱好者认为 140B 具有更出色的演奏效果和音质。
Wurlybird 140B has been crafted by Cherry Audio
through deep expert sampling of a professionally restored 140B,
along with subtle randomization of key release and pedal sounds,
precision modeling of the original preamp, faithfully emulated vibrato/tremolo,
and even adjustable background hum.
Additionally, Wurlybird 140B includes a broad spectrum of tonal-enhancing stompbox-style effects,
ranging from subtle to extreme.​

Wurlybird 140B 由 Cherry Audio 开发,
对经过专业修复的 140B 进行了深度专业采样,
同时对音符释放和踏板进行了微妙的随机化处理,
精确建模了原版放大器,并忠实复刻了颤音,
甚至能够调节背景的嗡嗡声。
此外,Wurlybird 140B 还包含多种用于增强音色的踏板效果,
甚至可以实现非常极端的效果。

The Wurly is undeniably one of the most classic rock and pop keyboards ever made.
Its rich, distinctive sound has been featured on numerous hits,
including classic songs by Ray Charles, Queen, Three Dog Night, Supertramp,
and modern artists like Beck and Billie Eilish.​

毋庸置疑,Wurly 是有史以来最经典的摇滚和流行键盘音色之一。
其丰富、独特的声音曾在无数热门歌曲中出现,
包括 Ray Charles、Queen、Three Dog Night、Supertramp 的经典歌曲,
以及 Beck 和 Billie Eilish 等现代艺术家的作品。
Several Wurly iterations -- and emulations -- have been released over the years.
The 200 and 200A models are lighter and more durable,
making them practical for live performances.
However, many fans of the Wurly consider the earlier 140B model —
a complete redesign of the keyboard's mechanical action,
modified cabinet design, and the introduction of their first solid-state amplifier —
to be the best in the range due to its superior action and tone quality.​

多年来,Wurly 推出了多种迭代和复刻版本,
200 和 200A 型号更轻、更耐用,
因此更适合现场表演。
不过,许多 Wurly 的粉丝更喜欢早期的 140B 型号,
其对键盘的机械动作进行了彻底的重新设计,
改进了箱体设计,并首次引入了晶体管放大器,
其卓越的表现和音质,被认为是该系列中的佼佼者。
