I don’t quite know what he does in his process/programming to get such great sounding, dynamic, playable…and down right DOPE instruments, but I like it. This was my first experience with any instrument from Scarbee…and I will say the reputation is well deserved. When an instrument that I don’t have a particular love for (the clavi) still sounds amazing to me, then you know they did something right. I spend an hour or so just playing with the Mark I and A-200 instruments, I even played with the clavinet for a little while just tweaking parameters and listening. When I first installed and played the Mark I instrument in this collection, I finally felt like I had “found it” I’ve been through keyboard workstations, physically modeled instruments, and years/shelves worth of akai sample cds, kontakt instruments, soundfonts…whatever.

I’ve spent years looking for EP samples that captured the feel and sound I was used to hearing on records. Once you hear it, you’ll know what I mean These instruments mix deep, intense, “perfectionist” style sampling with a very straight-forward and easy to use interface. I really can’t say enough about the samples, holding a note allows you to hear the key all the way out to it’s natural decay, you also have knobs to tweak the sound of the original instrument keys/release samples…and it doesn’t sound “gimmicky” at all. Not to mention there are some pretty dope preset fx settings that will allow you to instantly dial up a specific sound or experimental tone I really like the tone and quality of the instruments in their default settings, but the ability to quickly dial in different tweaks from the user interface is awesome.Ĭhorus, pan, wah, treble, reverb, bass, and many other simple fx are right there.ĭistortion, amp, compression, etc…this makes it very quick to come up with the exact sound you want, right there in the interface. Now I will say, I’m not a huge Clavinet fan, so I didn’t spend much time with it, but I AM a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE fan of the Mark I and A-200 instruments. I’m just saying, when I started playing these instruments, I instantly fell in love with the tone and feel of them. I am a fanatic for electric pianos and I am always looking for something as close to the real thing as possible.

#SCARBEE A 200 SOFTWARE#
Unless of course you have one of the classics (I’d love to own an actual vintage rhodes)īut when it comes to sample libraries and software instruments, there are many choices in this…and it really comes down to tastes. The sound itself is so versatile, from smooth, to rough, to silky, to jagged…the search for the perfect EP is never-ending. If you’re like me, you absolutely LOVE electric piano sounds.
