That's where Clavinet V is different
Almost every keyboard has a handful of Clav patches. Almost none get it right. ARTURIA's physical modeling technology creates a detailed audio hologram of the Clavinet. Instead of a sampled snapshot of a sound, you get a spot-on virtual Clav that lives and breathes. It barks and sparkles just like the real deal and will draw out musical ideas you didn't know you had. Even the golden ears in your audience will think you used the real thing.

All of the Vibe
Tweak the same controls as on the original and Clavinet V faithfully renders the results. No settling for one-size-fits all patches here!

None of the Hassle
Vintage Clavs are hunted to extinction on the used market and expensive to restore. Clavinet V will never need tuning or repairs.

Funkmaster
Soul, rock, RnB, hip-hop, dance, prog... nothing adds groove and cred to your productions like a Clav.

Radio Ready
Play straight or through built-in modeled FX from back in the day. It's never been easier to drop a Clav sound perfectly into a live or recorded mix.

How does it work?
You can strum or pick a guitar, but you can also mash one finger onto the fretboard and the string will vibrate. This was the core of the "hammer-on" technique Eddie Van Halen made famous. Make a keyboard do that, give it a string for every note, add pickups like a guitar, and you have a Clav.

A real Clav, piece by piece
Meticulous component-level modeling is the secret to authentically recreating a legend. The Clavinet is a unique combination of discrete electro-acoustic components that each have a dynamic life force all their own as they interact with each other. Capturing that behaviour - and subsequently that sound - requires more than sampling. Instead, ARTURIA modeled each component to bring the signature sound and continuous playing dynamics of the Clavinet fully to life under your fingertips.

Physical modeling
The Clavinet sound comes from its strings contacting metal plates, giving it that characteristic bright sound similar to a slapped guitar or bass string. Releasing the key triggers the yarn damping mechanism. Each of these components has been remodeled to accurately reflect differences in volume and brightness depending on how hard you play - right down to the master damper slide for softer muted plucked sounds.

Algorithmic circuit emulation
The Clavinet's string vibrations are converted to an electric signal via a pair of 6-core humbucking pickups similar to those found in electric guitars, Left-hand rocker switches determine the pickup engagement and phase, as well as all-or-nothing passing of low, mid, and high frequencies. We emulated these individual parts of the Clavinet's chain using advanced algorithms to give you the exact response you'd expect from the real thing. Clavinet V is as close as it gets.

So Simple, So Flexible
All the tonal control of the Clavinet D6.

YesFilter
Go full and mellow, sharp and nasal, or anywhere in between. Four filter switches emphasize different parts of Clavinet V's frequency range.

Pickup Artistry
Take even more timbral control with the pickup switches - choose to hear one pickup or the other, both in phase, or both out of phase.

Mute Point
ARTURIA modeled the Clavinet's physical mute mechanism, which affects both sustain and brightness.

What's added
Clavinet V lets you fine-tune all the mechanical and electrical nuances of the real thing - and beyond. Physical modeling gives you infinitely more control than sampled-based instruments - even more than the real thing. Add effects to the mix, and you've got a complete rig at your fingertips.

01. Cry, Baby
How can a Clav get any funkier? With a wah-wah! Choose a MIDI-assignable pedal or auto-wah.

02. Turn On, Trip Out
Four more stompbox slots host authentic vintage phaser, flanger, chorus, delay, overdrive, and compressor pedals, and even a unique vocal filter for talkbox effects.

03. Amp It Like the Pros
The modeled Twin-style amp simulator offers 3-band EQ, reverb, tremolo, and plenty of attitude.

04. Profile Picture
Change Clavinet V's entire character with different harmonic profiles.

05. All the Details
No two Clavinets are exactly alike, which is why you can adjust variables like string resonance, key-off noise, hammer hardness, and more.

06. Define Your Touch
Optimize Clavinet V's response for your playing style and MIDI controller in the velocity curve editor. It even saves curve presets.
