二合一
SCARBEE CLAVINET 是一款精心采样、可即时演奏的 Hohner* Clavinet 键盘。这款极具特色的电音键盘自 60 年代末以来，已广泛应用于众多经典的放克、灵魂乐、雷鬼、迪斯科和摇滚乐。
其"弦音"特质令人联想到电吉他，尤其适合用于尖锐的打击乐演奏。
PIANET 是一款完美捕捉 Hohner* Model N 钢琴音色的经典电机械钢琴，它采用一系列金属簧片，并通过浸有粘合剂的泡沫垫拨动簧片来产生声音。最终呈现出一种类似颤音琴的音色，拥有极具冲击力的包络和窄动态响应，这得益于其"粘性琴槌"——介于 A200 的尖锐音色和 Mark 1 更纯净的钟声音色之间。
SCARBEE 钢琴
Thomas Skarbye 并没有提供包含众多采样到"可接受"水平的乐器的"大杂烩"，而是专注于单件乐器，其细节呈现程度之高，远超采样用户以往所能达到的水平。通过仔细研究和彻底的修复/设置，他力求捕捉乐器的"灵魂"，并努力在声音、演奏性和后期编辑方面取得平衡，以达到与前沿采样技术的完美匹配。SCARBEE CLAVINET / PIANET 源自 Scarbee 传奇的"Funky Electric Piano"和"Sticky Electric Piano"。
全面采样
Scarbee 团队为 CLAVINET 琴体收集了惊人的 12,300 个采样，每个音符都以四种标准拾音器设置录制，包括标准版和静音键版。PIANET 琴体尺寸较小，这得益于其简单的机械设计，每个琴键仅需 5 个释放采样，即可完美模拟原版键盘。两种型号均采用 Scarbee 的水平释放技术，使乐器在演奏时既逼真又易于演奏。
水平释放技术是指根据琴键的按住时间长短，从波形池中选择释放采样，从而允许断奏音符产生与长音持续音符不同的释放音色。
真实特质
CLAVINET 采用先进的触发选项，允许偶尔加入"偏离中心"的弦击，这是原版乐器的显著特征。 SCARBEE CLAVINET/PIANET 经过精心采样、映射和编程，对细节倾注了极大的热情和无微不至的关注，将这两种经典的电子机械乐器的终极形态完美呈现。
此外，它还包含一个多功能效果器模块，其中包含混响、合唱、移相、放大器模拟、失真自动哇音、声像、压缩、延迟和颤音等经典效果。
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. |
