Clavinet V

Although working as a music producer can be a gratifying activity, it has its downfalls, especially if you don't have the right set of tools under your belt.

Clavinet V, for instance, is a software solution that was designed to help you insert a virtual clavinet into your music projects without significant efforts.

During installation, you will surely notice that the process is highly intuitive, as there's no need to configure any complicated parameters or perform any intricate steps. You can either use the proprietary setup package or the Arturia Software Center, which lets you install your favorite product at the click of a button.

This app comes in several flavors, depending on your current needs. You can access it as a standalone application or install it as a plugin for your favorite DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

Unlike other similar tools in this field, Clavinet V provides you with an interface that aims to bring you as close to the original instrument as virtually possible, since all the details are there, from the marble-soft touch of the keys to the flips and switches on the sides.

It is also possible to access a bunch of software-specific menus where you can select your favorite preset, perform a search, save or load a configuration, import or export and setup your MIDI controller.

Although it's perfectly fine if you want to operate the app with your mouse, using a MIDI controller can be more rewarding since you get closer to playing on the actual clavinet that the app is emulating. You just have to connect it to your PC and configure it by pressing the "MIDI" button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Aside from its impressive preset library, this app also provides you with an amplifier that is placed beneath the clavinet, a bunch of pedals if you want to apply effects to your masterwork, and a few controls for tweaking the harmonic profile, which are hidden inside the clavinet.

In conclusion, if you're an old-school-instrument-enthusiast, you might consider giving Clavinet V a try, since it provides you with everything you need to create a complex music project, and then some.
