Accurately sampled from one of the funkiest keyboards ever created: the iconic D6 model Clavinet famous for its percussive playability and gritty sound.

The original Clav has always held a special appeal in funk, fusion, rock and soul music for its unique melodic twang and sonic versatility, from brilliant, vibrant, nitty and gritty to soft, rich, mellow tones.

For this instrument, we meticulously sampled every texture, articulation and hammer tip string-striking mechanic of the authentic D6 Clavinet in both the muted and unmuted modes, recreating all the dynamic control, feel and expression of the original funkified icon.

Using only a few controls, you can achieve an array of deep sonic textures, capturing the distinctive timbre of the Clavi’s unique single-coil pickups. Choose from the selection of factory presets, featuring patches modeled after Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” Billy Preston’s “Outta Space” and other classic songs; or shape your own tones using the built-in auto-wah, amp overdrive and other effects.

“This Clavinet has its own character and vibe. I love the auto-wah effect and the options to customize it, as well as the ability to mix three different mic positions. Plus, this instrument is absolutely light on CPU. Truly great!”

“Waves Clavinet is unbelievably true to the original. I’m having a ball sculpting everything from classic Stevie sounds to way-out-in-space effects. And the control over the mechanical sounds and the formants takes it even beyond the original.”

Jason Miles Keyboardist, Producer, Composer

Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Luther Vandross

“The Waves Clavinet is one funky keyboard, great-sounding, with lots of control over the various nuances of the sound. From the wah to the depth of the phase and the chorus, you can really shape the sound to be hard-edged, funky, warm or edgy.”

“This is the best Clavinet instrument I've used. The strength lies in the quality of the underlying samples. I also like how simple it is to add or subtract key release noise and mechanical noise for more intimate sounds.”
