Description
Overview
Rhodes Clav Pro is an authentic, high-fidelity software recreation of the legendary 1977 Clav D6 model. Designed to capture the sharp attack, infectious vibe, and percussive soul of the iconic electro-acoustic string keyboard, this instrument brings the heartbeat of 1970s funk, disco, soul, and rock directly into your digital studio. Expertly sampled from a rare 1977 D6 “transition” model, Clav Pro delivers the unmistakable bite and bounce that defined the sounds of Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, and Sly and The Family Stone.
