No extra EQ, tube saturation or compression was used during recording in order to provide an ultra-realistic sound and feel. The team at Scarbee recorded over 2,000 samples in 24-bit resolution with each of the 64 keys sampled at 16 different velocities. The SCARBEE A-200 was derived from Scarbee’s legendary “Edgy Electric Piano”. Through careful study and thorough restoration/setup he aims to capture the “soul” of the instrument and balances sound, playability and post-editing for a perfect match at the forefront of sampling technology. Instead of offering a ‘grab bag’ of many instruments which have been sampled to an ‘acceptable’ level, Thomas Skarbye focuses on a single instrument rendered to a level of detail previously unavailable to sample users. The distinctive sound of the original A-200 was much loved by pop and rock bands in the 1960s and 70s and has recently found favor with a whole new wave of pop, indie and jazz and electronic artists. The character of the SCARBEE A-200 ranges from soft and sweet to a more biting, overdriven sound when played harder.
