SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE THE KONTAKT INSTRUMENT Note that you can hover your mouse over any control in Clav to get Info about its function if you have the Kontakt Info pane activated. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL Selecting the ‘Instrument’ tab provides access to the main controls of the Clav instrument. - Page 7 Again, if all four of these filters are off, there is no sound from the Clavinet! (There is in fact no sound from the pre-amp of the Clav, which we’ll see later we can get behind in this virtual emulation of a Clav.) The pickup switches CD and AB are also rather confusing, so we’ve put a...
- Page 8 SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE OPEN THE HOOD Below the Brilliant switch you’ll see a little Edit button, if you click on this you get some controls that are not available to the original Clavinet. Here you can adjust the Volume and Pan of the Upper and Lower pickups, as well as the amount of signal going to the PREAMP (the filter switches) and to the DIRECT OUT, which bypasses the filters entirely.
- Page 9 Note that if you lengthen the Release of the amplitude envelope you risk a weird result if the Key Off samples are audible. If you want to make a Clav sound with a long release, it’s best to turn down the KEY OFF samples, which you can do on the Options panel.
- Page 10 SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE THE OPTIONS PANEL Selecting the ‘Options’ tab provides access to the preferences and performance options of the Clav instrument. VELOCITY The top half of the window is dedicated to the velocity response of the instrument. You can set a Velocity LIMIT LOW and LIMIT HIGH if you need.
- Page 11 31 velocity levels, in normal play you probably won’t need to use Round Robin. ORIGINAL KEY RANGE This limits our Clav to respond only within the original range of the Clavinet F1 to E5. OCTAVE UP Shifts the entire range of the Clavinet up an octave.
- Page 12 LED switch at the far right to turn it on or off. At the bottom you have control of a compressor, cabinet simulation, an Equalizer, and a saturation overdrive. Here is a list of the controls in each effect inside the Clav: AUTO WAH AUTO-WAH is a modulated filter effect.
- Page 13 SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE when the Sync button is off and in tempo-synced note divisions when the Sync button is on. If the USE CC switch is on, then the Wah is not automatic anymore, but controlled directly by a MIDI controller. In the above picture this is set to 11, so if you have a foot pedal that send MIDI CC 11, you can control the wah just like you would a real wah wah pedal.
- Page 14 SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE The PHASER is another famous effect, especially in 70s music, in which the phase of the sound is varied over time to create a liquid, swirling effect. Here you can again adjust the MIX level, the DEPTH and SPEED of the effect.
- Page 15 SONICCOUTURE CLAV USER GUIDE OUTPUT EFFECTS On the bottom of the Effects tab you have four more effect sections. From left to right these are: COMPRESSOR This controls the amount of compression, and is bypassed when turned all the way to the left.
