Vintage Clav

Vintage Clav is a keyboard synthesizer that emulates the classic Hohner D6 Clavinet using component modeling synthesis. It captures the iconic pluck, bite, and funk character of the original 1970s instrument while extending it with stereo output, full MIDI range (127 notes), and integrated effects including wah, modulation, and distortion. The plugin lets you radically alter the tone to simulate aged instruments or create entirely new timbres.
