Overview

Funk, in an instrument.

Clavinet is a sampled Hohner D6, the keyboard behind a great deal of funk and everything adjacent to it, played by Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Funkadelic and Steely Dan. Every texture, articulation and hammer strike is multi-sampled in both muted and unmuted modes, which is what makes it respond like the instrument rather than merely sound like it. EQ, compression and limiting are built in, and an amp simulator with mic choices supplies the on-stage tone.
