Native Instruments have released four new Kontakt powered instruments that provide timeless electric piano sounds for your music. All four SCARBEE Vintage Keys pianos run in the free KONTAKT 4 PLAYER and in KONTAKT 4.
SCARBEE A-200
This KONTAKT Instrument delivers an unrivalled reproduction of one of the most sought-after electric pianos. The character of the SCARBEE A-200 ranges from soft and sweet to a more biting, overdriven sound when played harder. The distinctive sound of the original A-200 was much loved by pop and rock bands in the 1960s and 70s and has recently found favor with a whole new wave of pop, indie and jazz and electronic artists. The SCARBEE A-200 was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Edgy Electric Piano”.
SCARBEE MARK 1
At last, the legendary electric piano of the 1970s has been sampled to perfection in all of its analog brilliance. The classic sound provided by the SCARBEE MARK I ranges from warm and mellow to bright and ‘barking’ and can also produce chiming bell-like tones. While it is of course the perfect choice for jazz, funk, fusion and R&B, this KONTAKT instrument is also versatile enough for any production where authentic electric piano sound is essential. The SCARBEE MARK I was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Classic Electric Piano”.
SCARBEE CLAVINET
The SCARBEE CLAVINET is a meticulously sampled and immanently playable Hohner** Clavinet. This highly distinctive electrophonic keyboard has been used extensively on numerous classic funk, soul, reggae, disco and rock tracks since the late 60s.
SCARBEE PIANET
The PIANET – a perfectly captured Hohner** Model N Pianet – is a classic electro-mechanical piano with a vibraphone-like tone due to its “sticky hammers”.
The SCARBEE CLAVINET/PIANET was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Funky Electric Piano” and “Sticky Electric Piano”.
