Topic: Clavinet D6

hello
do you think it's possible to mod a Clavinet D6 with pianoteq engine?
it could be great!!!!!!

Re: Clavinet D6

I'm shure it's possible.
And i just has this feeling they are working on it right now, but i could be so ever wrong
I mean, they should be working on it right now

I think the clavinet must be easy to do for Pianoteq when we know what they allready have done.

Re: Clavinet D6

yes, it shouldn't be that difficult...

Re: Clavinet D6

It's definitely possible.

Hard work and guts!

Re: Clavinet D6

I am a Hohner D6 lover and would really enjoy dumping my sampled one for a PhysMod.
Dynamics Slider could be awesome for replacing the mute amount fader on the original D6.
Having an expression Prdal attached to that slider means it's an advantage over the real hardware.
I love software that out performs the hardware it emulates.
On the old D6 we had to stop playing to use the mute slider which meant the critical rhythmic left hand went silent.
With a pedal we could open and close it like a 24db Ladder Filter on a Moog, only instead of frequencies opening up we could morph from full mute to full open.
Well I use Scope DSP platform where we often out route and out perfrom the hardware mixers, effect and synths we emulate.
When software out perfroms the emulation it becomes quite valuable.

Hardware Analog, DSP, PhysMod. VSTi Romplers....

Re: Clavinet D6

I actually still gig with my Hohner Clavinet D6,
as it is portable enough to be practical, and I've never heard a
sampled or emulated version that came close to the feel of the real one.

Re: Clavinet D6

I own a real D6 :-)

The funny thing is that the typical funky sound that made the D6 so famous (think "Stevie" !) is not the only sound that a D6 can make. I personally like to use it with a very clean, undistorted, almost acoustic sounding amplification with a little bit of sweet reverb and chorus and play ballads with it. If you only know the Clavinet from the old records, or from sampled intstruments, you probably never heard this kind of sound :-)

BTW. The Clavinet is in may ways similar to the Clavichord. That's an instrument I would like to put on the wishlist for future Pianoteq instruments. Would fit nicely in the list of historical instruments.

Re: Clavinet D6

Yes, indeed - one of the nicest D6 (I think!) sounds I've heard is slightly atypical - the sound in Sherbet's "Howzat", from the 70s.  It's played in a soft, subtle way.
