What do you use for clavinet type effect?

While I can't actually duplicate a legit clavinet -- life should be so wonderful-- the closest I get is with my POG. The octaves up with the right string attack mimic the percussive tone of the funkiest of the keyboard tones.

 

Assuming a clavinet is what I think it is (funky hammondlike organ, right?), there's this guy on youtube who uses a pog2 to get very close.



The organy stuff starts around 55 secs in.

 

The Boss SYB-5 gets a clav-ish sound. I think it's #7 on the mode switch. You have to tweak the other knobs a bit to get the sound right

A clavinet is more like a piano in that it has strings inside, but rather than hitting the strings with a hammer (like a piano) the strings are plucked (like a harpsichord). That's why it can sound much like a guitar.

 

Really? Huh. Thanks for clearing that up. Not sure if that vid I posted is applicable in that case, but you might still like it.

 

Yeahyeah. I made a mistake. I got it. Moving on

 

I use a EHX HOG and can get very convincing clavinet tones with it

 

Does anyone have any samples or videos of the EHX POG doing a clav sound? Every time I've tried one all I could get is organ sounds

 

So since reading this thread, I've spent hours on youtube funking out to people playing clavinets. Cool stuff!

Edit: Well, more like minutes actually. Still funky though.

 

I have a clav sound cooking on my B3 that is pitchshift with a touch of bit crusher and Duo-phase.

 

Interesting. Any chance of posting this in the patch thread?

I got close the other day with the Ring Modulator on a line 6 M5 and a 3 leaf Proton

 

Please post settings!?!?

 

Lots and lots of sample-based Clavinet models in the softsynth world. I like the Clavs in Propellerheads Reason a lot.
