Domin(ation)
A powerful model with a strong and punchy attack—reacts more aggressively to
velocity than other models.
GuruFnk (Guru Funk)
In the lower bass-octave ranges, the string oscillations become increasingly resonant
over time, until they finally collapse (after 20 to 30 seconds). Higher notes have a much
shorter decay, which also applies to their resonating behavior. This model invites heavy,
funk-style bass playing in the lower octaves. It’s nice with a little phaser, and sustained
chords, when playing low bass notes. Adding a Logic Delay plug-in is also a great
option!
Harpsi(chord)
Harpsichord-like model.
Pluck
Plucked string—changing the pick-up positions allows further modifications, making
the sound more guitar-like. “Harp” style sounds are also possible, by positioning the
lower pick-up around the mid position. To get a harp sound increase String Decay,
Release, and Excite Shape and decrease Excite Brilliance.
(Tuned) Wood
Somewhat wooden, thin, and with some inharmonic overtones. Can sound slightly
detuned in some contexts.
Ltl (Little) India
Sitar-like sound, rich in resonance.
S(tring) Bells
A bell model with strong inharmonic overtones (inharmonicities).
Dulcimer
Dulcimer-like model.
Picked
This model emulates a picked nylon string.
Special Notes about the Models
You may note some “zones” on the keyboard where the sound changes significantly
between adjacent keys. This is intentional, and reflects the behavior of some of the real
clavinet models emulated by the EVD6. The original D6 has some strong key-to-key
timbral differences, with the most obvious one being between the highest, wound
string, and the lowest, non-wound string.
If you’re a player who likes the original’s sound, but not the original’s mechanical timbre
jumps, the EVD6 offers a smoothed model—MelloD6.
