Hohner Pianet T
A pianet from ebay with a lot of character.

The story
This instrument I bought on eBay as in not working condition. But to this day Pianet has been working very nicely. It has its own unique sound with some out-of-tune keys and clicks.
Reviews
Instant vintage keys with minor flaws
The Pianet T by nature sounds a lot cleaner than a Rhodes in it's default character, great for dreamy chords. Use additional vibrato to add that lo-fi feeling. A few notes D#1 appear to have clicky transients on the attack portion and the DS version seems to be mapped one octave too high. Overall still a fantastic offering with a tiny bit of room for improvment.
A bright electric piano
This is a well-recorded bright electric piano. The major difference I've found with the typical Rhodes piano sound is that this one manages to remain bright without the "bells" sound. The lows are not weak but they remain focused on the mid-range. More suited as an accompaniment than solo works. Highly recommended.
No frills, but very usable vintage-flavoured electric piano
The Pianet T sampled here has a very clean sound, with not much low end and soft bell tones with few inharmonic overtones. There is only a single velocity layer but one sample per note with full release. Compared to one of the other Pianet T samples on this site, this has bit more top-end and so is better suited for comping, in my opinion.
There's a click at the start of the D#2 (note 51) sample and the E5 (note 76) sample has slight "plop" about 0.5 seconds into the sample. The former is easily fixed by editing the sample or using an offset.
I created an SFZ mapping for this instrument, which is available in the repository at https://github.com/sfzinstruments/mappings.
I gave two stars for the GUI because I don't use Kontakt or Decent Sampler and would prefer SFZ.
