PMX-305 Clavis by PerforModule
A set of seven folkloric instruments with strings struck by blades or hammers, sampled from the PX-300 Digital Piano and presented in a self-installing pack for Ableton Live 9+.
Included Instruments:
PMX-300 Bright Clavichord
PMX-300 Celesta
PMX-300 Deep Clavichord
PMX-300 Dulcimer
PMX-300 Historic Harpsichord
PMX-300 Music Box
PMX-300 Revival Harpsichord
The samples for each of 88 keys have been individually recorded through a dual triode vacuum tube at 96k for a touch of analog fidelity.
They have been crafted into instrument racks optimized with parameters to reflect their true counterparts.
Special controls for the Clavis pack include a "moderator" and a "sustain" pedal. It is recommended to MIDI-map these to foot controllers if possible in order to use them to modify dynamics and tone while playing.
The stereo panning naturally tilts from the lower keys towards the left and the highest keys tilted towards the right, to reflect the keyboardist's perspective. The two "clavinet" instruments include the ability to use your midi controller with aftertouch to alter the vibrato with finger pressure.
The Clavis pack also comes with the bonus audio effect "KeyPlunk". This adds in the thunky sound of physical keyboard keys falling with each note played.
Macro Controls:
"Filter Morph": smoothly alters the filter type.
"Filter FreQ": sets the filter frequency and resonance. The specific result depends on the Morph setting.
"KeyPlunk Tone": sets the tone of the key plunk effect.
"Key Plunk": adds in the thunk of the key falling, as well as the key release sound.
"Moderator": use to emulate the knee-bar to dampen attack and soften tone.
"Sustain Pedal": use like a piano's sustain pedal to let notes ring out.
"Timbre Shift": change tone by shifting sample selection.
"Vibrolo": fades in a combined vibrato + tremolo effect.
The Celesta instrument has slightly different controls and has the "piano reverb" effect rack instead.
The Dulcimer instrument has a "string doubling" control.
The Music Box instrument includes a "metallic" control.
