Vintage Clav model characteristics in Logic Pro for Mac
The table outlines the characteristics of each clavinet model.
Model name | Comments | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Belltone | A bell-like model with strong inharmonic overtones (inharmonicities). | ||||||||||
Classic I and II | Classic I is a near exact emulation of the original D6. It includes string noises on long decays and accurate behavior following the release of keys. Each D6 was unique in its way, so you can adjust the sound to match the tone of D6 clavinets you have heard. Classic II is brighter and more punchy. | ||||||||||
Dulcitone | A dulcimer-like model. | ||||||||||
Funktone | This model invites heavy, funk-style bass playing in the lower octaves, coupled with sustained chords in the mid-to-upper octaves. It works well with phaser and delay effects. In the lower bass-octave ranges, the string oscillations become increasingly resonant over time, until they finally collapse (after 20 to 30 seconds). Higher notes have a much shorter decay, which has a corresponding impact on the resonating behavior. | ||||||||||
Harpsitone I and II | Harpsichord-like models. | ||||||||||
Mellotone | This model is smooth and mellow sounding across the entire keyboard range. | ||||||||||
Plectratone I and II | These models emulate a picked string. Change the pickup positions to make the sound more guitar-like. For a harp-like sound, position the lower pickup near the mid point of the Pickup Position display and increase String Release and Excite Shape in the Details window, while decreasing Brilliance in the Main window. | ||||||||||
Sitartone | A sitar-like sound, rich in resonance. | ||||||||||
Vintage I and II | These models emulate a D6 with aged and worn hammers and strings. The sound of the sticky hammer heads is modeled as well as the richer bass range. | ||||||||||
Woodtone | This model sounds wooden, thin, and contains inharmonic overtones. It can sound slightly detuned in some contexts. |
