Advanced multi-sampled Hohner Clavinet instrument. Includes
a collection of Ableton Live Clips, Apple Loops and Beat

A Clavinet is an electrophonic keyboard instrument
manufactured by the Hohner company. It is essentially an
electronically amplified clavichord, analogous to an
electric guitar. Its distinctive bright staccato sound has
appeared particularly in funk, disco, rock, and reggae songs.

Each key uses a small rubber tip to perform a "hammer on"
(forcefully fret the string) to a guitar-type string when
it is pressed, as with a conventional clavichord. The end
of each string farthest from the pickups passes through a
weave of yarn. When the key is released, the yarn makes the
string immediately stop vibrating. This mechanism is
completely different from the other Hohner keyboard
products, the Cembalet and Pianet, which use the principle
of plectra or sticky pads plucking metal reeds.

Originally the instrument was designed for home use and
aimed at playing early European classical and folk music.
The Clavinet L, introduced in 1968 was a domestic model and
featured a wood-veneered triangular body with wooden legs,
reverse-colour keys and an acrylic glass music stand. The
final E7 model saw the culmination of several engineering
improvements to make the instrument more suitable for use
in live amplified rock music, where its use had become
commonplace.

Perhaps the most notable use of the Clavinet model C in
modern music is on Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". Since
then, the Clavinet C has been highly revered for its unique
tone, able to cut through a mix and deliver a funky punch
to any track.

Puremagnetik has now captured this unique instrument in
over 250MB of sampled Clavinet content from the original C
model. Optimized for Ableton Live, Kontakt, Logic and
GarageBand, Model-C has been intricately programmed with
easy edit controls and integrated effects. Model-C comes as
a self contained instrument complete with multi-pickup
selection and mechanical noise controls. Also included are
50 high quality loops recorded by professional New York
studio keyboardists. All loops are in Live Clip, Apple
Loops and Kontakt format.
