Scarbee S.E.P.
Scarbee S.E.P. (Sticky Electric Piano) has a sound that sonically lies somewhere between the reedy bite of the E.E.P. and the purer bell tone of another classic electric piano. The result is a vibraphone type tone with a very percussive envelope and almost no dynamic response due to it's "sticky hammers". How much detail is there in the instrument? Well, this unique keyboard used a special technique to produce it’s charming sound: so-called ‘sticky hammers’ made from rubber lifted the tine - more or less like a Harpsicord and when a hammer released its tine, this classic sound was produced. This technique means that the instrument is virtually without dynamics - but even so, it’s got a really cool sound! Sampling 6 velocities more than covers the pianet’s dynamic range, but as with the F.E.P., S.E.P. takes advantage of 'Horizontal Release Technology', whereby different release samples are chosen from the wave pool depending on how long a key has been held - allowing a staccato played note to create a different release tone to a note which is sustained for a longer period. Due to the simple mechanical design of the instrument it was only necessary to make 5 release samples per key to obtain a perfect simulation of the original keyboard.

The S.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. With the Scarbee S.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.
