Three new exclusive e-piano sounds for the Nord Electro Virtual Electromechanical
After the release of the Nord Electro Virtual Electromechanical stage keyboard in 2001, Clavia now releases three very special electric piano sounds. These new sounds will be demoed at the upcoming Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, USA, on January 17-20.
The Clavia Electric Grand Model G - the best electric grand to date Electric grands are quite limited on the market so we decided to build our own. The first out Clavia custom built electric piano is the 'Clavia Electric Grand Model G'. It's based on a 1930 Gerbstedt grand piano fitted with electric piano pickups. After the modification Clavia sampled the instrument at numerous velocity levels to cover the whole dynamic range - from soft to hard keystrokes. The result? Listen and enjoy - this is possibly the best electric grand you've ever heard! The Clavia Electric Grand Model G will be available for download at Clavia's website in the future
Background Clavia Electric Grands:
The big advantage with electric pianos over acoustic ones is the powerful and "punchy" sound you get out of them. Electric pianos simply cut through a whole lot better in pop and rock music than acoustic pianos. Clavia always felt there was a shortage of electric grand piano models on the market. That is, string based electric pianos with rich harmonics but with little body resonance. Therefore, we decided to expand the range and build our own custom electric grands. By doing this and then carefully sampling them for the Nord Electro we can make available completely new and extremely great electric grand sounds - ones never heard before. The first Clavia custom-made electric grand is the Clavia Electric Grand Model G and more will follow.
Rhodes Mk II 73 Stage Piano (Shallow)
The new Rhodes sound for the Nord Electro is sampled from a 1981 Rhodes Mk II Stage Piano with the 'Shallow' pickup adjustment. This characteristic sound is distinguished by pure overtone content and a suppressed fundamental frequency - especially noticeable at higher velocities. This sound was very popular in the mid 70s and was frequently used by great keyboard players like Chick Corea. The Rhodes Mk II 73 Stage Piano (Shallow) will soon be available for download!
The Clavia Cross Roads - the ultimate Rhodes piano
The Clavia Cross Roads are two electric pianos - in one! The Clavia Cross Roads is built up by samples from a Rhodes Mk I Stage Piano and from the Rhodes Mk II 73 Stage Piano with the Shallow pickup adjustment. The samples are crossfaded from the Mk I to the Mk II Shallow when you increase your velocity. This means that when playing soft you'll get the very delicate soft sound of the Mk I and when playing harder the punchy Shallow Mk II samples are gradually introduced. The crossfade feature makes the instrument extremely dynamic and responsive. So is this the ultimate Rhodes sound then? We'll let you decide! The Clavia Cross Roads will be available for download shortly.
