    1 Introduction Scarbee sample libraries are hailed around the world for capturing not only the classic tone of these vintage instruments, but also their feel. Sampled, mapped, and programmed with great love and slavish attention to detail, the Scarbee MARK I presents a classic electro-mechanical instrument in its ultimate form.
  • Page 6: Restoration

    In this new edition from Native Instruments, we have added the Horizontal Release Technology to the MARK I, whereby release samples are chosen from the wave pool depending on how long a key has been held, which allows a staccato played note to create a different release tone to a note sustained for a longer period.
  • Page 7 but an inspirational tool—an instrument which works in a synergistic way with the composer to generate fresh new musical ideas. We believe that this inspirational quality is largely the result of a combination of the basic timbral range of the original electric piano and its very organic dynamic response.
  • Page 8: The Instrument

    2 The Instrument 2.1 Programs There are two programs to choose from: the standard “Scarbee MARK I” and the “Scarbee MARK I - Stretched Tuned.” In stretched tuning, two notes an octave apart are tuned slightly further apart to compensate for an acoustic phenomenon where you perceive the octave as being out of tune.
  • Page 9: Effects

    If you want the noise to be present the whole time in a song or live, you can turn the knob beyond the middle position. 2.2.2 Effects In this new edition released by Native Instruments, we have included some cool effects to make the sound even greater! •...
  • Page 10: Reverb

    • Bass: Boosts or cuts the level of the lower frequencies. Set the knob to middle position (actually a bass cut!) like on original instrument for the Classic sound. • Treble: Boosts or cuts the level of the higher frequencies. Set the knob a little to the left to get the old school vibe of the original tone control.
  • Page 11: Pan

    • Feedback: Sends a portion of the output back into the input of the delay line, which cre- ates repeating echoes. A value of 0 produces only one echo, higher values give multiple echoes. • Level: sets the level of the delay signal 2.2.6 Pan •...
  • Page 12: Compressor

    2.2.8 Compressor • Threshold: Sets a level above which the compressor starts reducing peaks. Only signals above the threshold are affected by the compression ratio, signals below are unaffected. • Output: sets the output of the module 2.2.9 Chorus • Depth: Sets the amount of LFO modulation applied to a signal.
  • Page 13: Distortion

    2.2.10 Distortion • Drive: Determines the amount of distortion applied to the sound. Higher values increase the distortion effect. • Output: sets the output of the module 2.2.11 Phaser • Depth: sets the amount of LFO modulation applied to a signal. Higher amounts result in a stronger phaser effect.
