This KONTAKT Instrument delivers an unrivalled reproduction of one of the most sought-after electric pianos. The character of the SCARBEE A-200 ranges from soft and sweet to a more biting, overdriven sound when played harder.
The distinctive sound of the original A-200 was much loved by pop and rock bands in the 1960s and 70s and has recently found favor with a whole new wave of pop, indie and jazz and electronic artists.

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 balances sound, playability and post-editing for a perfect match at the forefront of sampling technology. The SCARBEE A-200 was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Edgy Electric Piano”.
GET THE FEELING
The team at Scarbee recorded over 2,000 samples in 24-bit resolution with each of the 64 keys sampled at 16 different velocities. No extra EQ, tube saturation or compression was used during recording in order to provide an ultra-realistic sound and feel.
With adjustable original instrument noise as well as the inclusion of Horizontal Release Technology*, this KONTAKT Instrument preserves the spirit of the original – including its charming flaws and idiosyncrasies. The flexible KONTAKT interface also contains a built in FX unit to further enhance its versatility and usability, and includes classic effects such as reverb, chorus, phaser, amp simulation, distortion auto-wah, pan, compression, delay and tremolo.
*’Horizontal Release Technology’ – 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.
这款KONTAKT乐器再现了最受欢迎的电子钢琴之一。SCARBEE A-200的特性从柔和甜美到更难演奏时更刺耳，过度驱动的声音。
最初的A-200的独特音色在1960年代和70年代受到流行和摇滚乐队的广泛喜爱，并且最近在流行，独立，爵士和电子艺术家的新浪潮中得到了青睐。

并没有提供许多已采样到“可接受”水平的乐器的“抓斗”，而是专注于渲染到以前无法提供给采样用户的详细程度的单个乐器。
通过仔细的研究和彻底的恢复/设置，他的目标是捕捉乐器的“灵魂”，并在声音，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 A-200源自Scarbee传奇的“ Edgy Electric Piano”。
获得感觉
Scarbee的团队以24位分辨率记录了2,000多个采样，其中以16种不同的速度采样了64个键。在录制过程中，没有提供额外的均衡器，电子管饱和度或压缩率以提供超逼真的声音和感觉。
这款KONTAKT乐器具有可调节的原始乐器噪音以及水平释放技术*，可以保留原始精神-包括迷人的瑕疵和特质。灵活的KONTAKT界面还包含一个内置的FX单元，以进一步增强其多功能性和可用性，并包括经典效果，如混响，合唱，移相器，放大器模拟，失真自动华音，声像，声像，压缩，延迟和颤音。
*“水平释放技术”-根据按住琴键的时间从波浪池中选择释放样本-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。
