THE STAGE IS SET
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.

SCARBEE PIANOS
Instead of offering a 'grab bag' of many instruments which have been
sampled to an 'acceptable' level, Thomas Skarbye focuses on a single
instrument rendered to a level of detail previously unavailable to sample
users. Through careful study and thorough restoration/setup he aims to
capture the "soul" of the instrument and try to balance sound, playability
and post-editing for a perfect match at the forefront of sampling technology.
The SCARBEE MARK I was derived from Scarbee's legendary "Classic Electric
Piano".

EXPRESS YOURSELF
The Mark I is coveted for its expression and dynamics which is why the
Scarbee team went to such great lengths in capturing the genuine feel of
the original. Each of the 73 keys was sampled at 12 different velocities.
In addition, to really capture the instrument's feel, release tones - the
sound created when a damper bounces against the tine as a key is released -
were recorded for each of the 12 velocities at the exact same level as the
corresponding 12 sustain samples. This incredible attention to detail has
produced KONTAKT instrument of great depth and realism, augmented by the
adjustable original noise feature and a built in FX section. The effects
include the classic reverb, chorus, phaser, amp simulation, distortion
auto-wah, pan, compression, delay, bass and treble.
