TWO IN ONE
The SCARBEE CLAVINET is a meticulously sampled and immanently playable Hohner* Clavinet. This highly distinctive electrophonic keyboard has been used extensively on numerous classic funk, soul, reggae, disco and rock tracks since the late 60s. Its ‘twangy’ nature is highly reminiscent of an electric guitar, and works particularly well when played in a sharp and percussive style.
The PIANET – a perfectly captured Hohner* Model N Pianet – is a classic electro-mechanical piano which used an array of metal reeds plucked by foam pads impregnated with adhesive to produce its sound. The result is a vibraphone-like tone with a very percussive envelope and a narrow dynamic response due to its “sticky hammers” – somewhere between the reedy bite of the A200 and the purer bell tone of the Mark 1.
SCARBEE PIANOS
Instead of offering a ‘grab bag’ of many instruments which have been sampled to an ‘acceptable’ level, Thomas Skarbye focuses on a single instrument rendered to a level of detail previously unavailable to sample users. Through careful study and thorough restoration/setup he aims to capture the “soul” of the instrument and try to balance sound, playability and post-editing for a perfect match at the forefront of sampling technology. The SCARBEE CLAVINET / PIANET was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Funky Electric Piano” and “Sticky Electric Piano”.
THOROUGHLY SAMPLED
For the CLAVINET, the team at Scarbee put together a staggering total of 12,300 samples – with every note recorded in each of the four standard pickup settings in both a standard version and a version with the mutebar engaged. The PIANET is smaller in size due to the simple mechanical design of the instrument which makes 5 release samples per key more than enough to obtain a perfect simulation of the original keyboard. Both models incorporate Scarbee’s Horizontal Release Technology for instruments that are as wonderfully realistic as they are playable.
Horizontal Release Technology is the process by which release samples are chosen from a wave pool depending on how long a key has been held – allowing a note played staccato to create a release tone different from a note which is sustained for a longer period.
TRUE CHARACTER
The CLAVINET makes use of advanced triggering options which allow the inclusion of the occasional ‘off center’ string strike, a well-known characteristic of the original instrument. Sampled, mapped and programmed with great love and lavish attention to detail SCARBEE CLAVINET/PIANET presents both classic electro mechanical instruments in their ultimate form.
Also included is a versatile effects section that contains classic effects such as reverb, chorus, phaser, amp simulation, distortion auto-wah, pan, compression, delay and tremolo.

的SCARBEE击弦古钢琴是一个精心取样和内在地可玩霍纳*击弦古钢琴。自60年代末以来，这种极富特色的电子键盘已广泛用于众多经典的放克，灵魂乐，雷鬼，迪斯科和摇滚乐。它的“ twangy”性质使人想起电吉他，并且在以尖锐和打击乐的风格演奏时效果特别好。
PIANET是一台完美的Hohner * N型Pianet钢琴，它是一台经典的机电钢琴，它使用了一系列金属芦苇，这些芦苇是由浸有粘合剂的泡沫垫拔起的，以产生声音。其结果是类似颤音的音调，具有非常具有冲击力的包络，并且由于其“粘锤”而使动态响应变窄-介于A200的叮咬声和Mark 1的纯正铃音之间。
SCARBEE PIANOS Thomas Skarbye并未
提供已被采样到“可接受”水平的许多乐器的“抓包”，而是专注于渲染到以前采样用户无法获得的细节水平的单个乐器。通过仔细的研究和彻底的恢复/设置，他旨在捕捉乐器的“灵魂”，并尝试在声音，可演奏性和后期编辑之间取得平衡，从而在采样技术的最前沿实现完美匹配。SCARBEE CLAVINET / PIANET源自Scarbee传奇的“ Funky Electric Piano”和“ Sticky Electric Piano”。
彻底采样
对于CLAVINET，Scarbee的团队总共收集了多达12,300个样本-每个音符都记录在标准版本和启用了静音键的四个标准拾音器设置中的每一个中。由于仪器的简单机械设计，PIANET的尺寸更小，每个键5个释放样本足以获得对原始键盘的完美模拟。两种型号均结合了Scarbee的水平释放技术，使乐器既逼真的又可演奏。
水平释放技术是根据按住键的时间从波池中选择释放样本的过程-允许音符断断续续地弹奏，以产生与音符不同的释放音调，该音调可以持续更长的时间。
真正的特点
CLAVINET利用高级触发选项，允许偶尔包含“偏心”弦打击，这是原始乐器的众所周知的特征。SCARBEE CLAVINET / PIANET以极大的热情和对细节的高度关注进行采样，映射和编程，以其终极形式展示了这两种经典的电子机械仪器。
还包括一个通用的效果部分，其中包含经典效果，如混响，合唱，移相器，放大器模拟，失真自动哇音，声相，压缩，延迟和颤音。
