Electric pianos (Rhody and Wurly), Clavinet and pianos have all different models. In short, Piano = stroked strings + soundboard, EP = stroked reeds or tins + pickups, Clavinet = stroken pressed strings + pickups. Makes quite a lot of differences when you come to modelling and programming.

Thanks Philippe.  I find it fascinating that you are able to model all these different instruments, (apparently) using the same larger model of percussion/resonator/soundboard. 

Keep up the magic!!

Now I have another question, though, perhaps for Philippe: you say the clavinet required a new model, but what about the Electric Pianos?  Do they use the same model (or a lot similar) to the acoustic pianos than the Clav?

The answer might be obvious, sorry – I'm not all that familiar with the inner workings of these (semi-)acoustic instruments, nor how close they are to the original acoustic pianos.

Thanks!

Could I maybe get a sanity check?  Was this really such a Bad Thing to ask? 

I couldn't help but notice that the new addon is priced the same as previous addons which include 2 instruments.  The only previous commercial addon with only 1 instrument (YC5) is at a lower price point.

I hope I'm missing something, but this, well, doesn't add up.  Don't get me wrong: I love the sound of the new Clav and the work on the interface, the wah-wah, etc. 

Is that new interface what the apparent extra cost is for? (the YC5 uses the same interface as all other acoustic pianos).  Or will Modartt surprise us (and Feline with a free Pianet upgrade to the Clav addon?  Or are all future addons just going to be more expensive?

Either way – I know, it's still inexpensive for the quality, and again: love the Clav. 

Still... I'm curious!

Thanks
