Clavinet V

The Funniest Electric Keyboard Ever

The Clavinet V faithfully models the electric keyboard that puts funk in many 70s hits. This vintage instrument's unmistakable feature will help your music come straight out of the speakers. No keyboard collection is complete without it.

The "Clav" sound is so iconic that most keyboards have a patch that tries to mimic it. Why settle for an approximation?

From the first note you play on the Clavinet V, you've known this isn't sampler or synth. You feel that organic grain comes only from a physical instrument, reproduced in minute detail by our award-winning modeling technology. We've recreated the iconic Clavinet D6 - including lightning response, multiple pickups, EQ rocker arms and variable mute. You can even create your own customizations to age your taste. Dial in the rest of the coveted vintage sound you're looking for with the built-in virtual guitar amp and stompbox gear - or just tap into the extensive preset library.

When you want the real deal, you want the Clavinet V.

Let Funk Be With You

If you like playing oldies or pioneering new musical territory, there's nothing quite like Clavinet's signature hammered strings sound.

The unmistakable bright, high-pitched sound of this vintage keyboard occupies a unique sonic space somewhere between harpsichord, hammered electric guitar and slapped bass. Leading keyboardists of the 1970s used their signature bark and bite to cut the mix, while providing some of the most authoritative percussion keyboard lines ever played. Thanks to the ultra-realistic Clavinet V, you can now command the same crisp sound that helped define funk and formed the basis of many pop and R&B hits in the past. If you want to add natural energy and vintage credibility to your sound, the Clavinet V is just the ticket.

The Clavinet V inspires with the sound and feel of the funniest electric keyboard ever . Your fingers have never danced like this before.

It's nothing like the real thing, baby

Only modeling technology offers a faithful reproduction of a vintage Clavinet.

Since the Clavinet is an electroacoustic instrument, complete with various settings and dynamic action, there are numerous subtle variations during performance. In comparison, the "Clav" synthesizer patches and samples appear one-dimensional. That's why we've applied our award-winning physical modeling and algorithmic emulation to deliver a sound and gaming experience indistinguishable from reality.

The Clavinet V brings all the inspiring nuances and natural goodness of the original instrument to its collection of keyboards.

More Than a Clavinet

The Clavinet V offers all of the original features, plus new additions designed to keep your creative juices flowing.

The original Clavinet controls were simple to use, and we've kept them authentic. If you want to go deeper, just click on the open lid and you can easily adjust exactly how your instrument sounds and behaves. The built-in collection of stompbox effects - chorus, flanger, wah and more - lets you easily get the rich signature sounds of the keyboardists who popularized the instrument. You'll also find an all-round vintage guitar amp, so you never have to look elsewhere for just the sound you're looking for. Of course, everything can be preset for instant recovery.

The Clavinet V is not just a Clavinet. It's a complete platform at your fingertips.
