Vintage Clav Main window overview
The Main window provides access to the most commonly used parameters.
Main window parameters
•
Pickup Position display: The two pickups shown in the Pickup Position display indicate the
positions and angles of the upper (above the strings) and lower (below the strings) pickups.
See Use Vintage Clav Pickup parameters.
•
Stereo Spread parameter: This two-part parameter alters the stereo imaging of Vintage Clav
output—controlled by key position. This parameter also provides control of the pickup
panning position. See Use Vintage Clav Stereo Spread parameters.
•
Brilliance knob: Rotate to set the level of the harmonic content caused by string excitation.
Positive values—to the right—result in a sharper sound. Negative values result in a more
muted sound.
•
Decay knob: Rotate to set the decay time of the strings, following the attack phase of a played
note. Positive values increase the decay time. Negative values reduce the decay time.
•
Filter switches: The four lter switches emulate the original tone control switches of the D6.
•
Brilliant: Click to make the sound nasal—cuts bass.
•
Treble: Click to make the sound sharper—gently cuts bass.
•
Medium: Click to make the sound thinner—slight bass reduction.
•
Soft: Click to make the sound softer—more muted.
•
Pickup switches: Click the AB and CD switches to alter the “wiring” of the virtual pickups,
changing the tone of Vintage Clav. See Use Vintage Clav Pickup parameters.
•
Volume knob: Rotate to set the overall Vintage Clav output level.
Note: MIDI controller 11 scales the output level—unless it is assigned to control Wah or
Damper parameters.
•
Damper slider: Drag to mute the strings. The Damper parameter can also be controlled with
a MIDI controller. For information on assigning a controller to the Damper slider, see Vintage
Clav Misc parameters.
