Scarbee C.E.P. (Classic Electric Piano) - is the sound of a hot-rodded wonderful electric piano from the 70s! C.E.P. has expression and dynamics ranging from warm and mellow, to bright and ‘barking’, but can also produce a dulcet bell-like tone very suited to jazz, funk and R&B.

How much detail is there in the instrument? To start with, all samples are full length and unlooped. Each of the 73 keys of the original instrument was sampled at 12 different velocities - ranging from 0 to -26 dB - but this is only half the story. In order to capture that magical feel of really 'playing' the original instrument, we also recorded 'release' samples for each of the 12 velocities, at the exact same level as the corresponding 12 sustain samples. The release tone - a sound created when a damper bounces against the tine as a key is released, is an intrinsic element of what musicians recognise as the original sound.

The C.E.P. was recorded at 24 bit resolution through a Mindprint En-Voice preamp (without any use of EQ, tube saturation or compression), and then digitally transferred to a Nuendo AudioLink 96 audio card.

To accommodate systems with RAM limitations, several ‘Lite’ versions of the piano are included. Lite versions contain the samples of the white keys, which are stretched down a semitone to cover adjacent black keys.

Why did we go to this much trouble?
Technology is moving at an increasing pace, with music companies releasing new (almost disposable) instruments every day, but still many of us find ourselves looking to the past for sounds which truly inspire us.

With the Scarbee C.E.P musicians will have access to the inspirational sounds of this classic electric piano for generations to come – vintage sonic lightning preserved in a cutting-edge software bottle.
