Kontakt scarbee a200
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. Both models incorporate Scarbee's Horizontal Release Technology for instruments that are as wonderfully realistic as they are playable. 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. The SCARBEE CLAVINET / PIANET was derived from Scarbee's legendary "Funky Electric Piano" and "Sticky Electric Piano".įor 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
