The Clavi Twin Black Friday deal brings Clavi Twin '78, Soundiron's Kontakt library of a beat-up Hohner Clavinet Pianet Duo, to $19.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026.
The source is one worn instrument, scuffs and stains included, with more than 40 years of hard use on it. Soundiron sampled it as it came, wear and all.
The Hohner Clavinet Pianet Duo put two instruments in one enclosure, so a keyboardist could blend them or split them. A common setup was the Pianet as a bass in the left hand and the Clavi in the right.
Both sets of strings lived inside the case, which pushed the weight past 75 lbs.
Ernst Zacharias, a German engineer, designed the Clavinet in 1961 as an amplified answer to the Bach harpsichord music he loved. Stevie Wonder later made it an icon, running its electric-guitar-like tone through distortion, tape echo and phaser pedals.
Soundiron recorded all 60 keys with 4 velocity layers and 4 round robins per note. Key up and down SFX are included separately, so you can set the release volume and the amount of key attack click.
Sustains, releases and key SFX come in wide stereo and as a direct line in.
The library adds 20 ambient soundscapes and 20 custom FX presets, built from the source recordings. Soundiron says it suits everything from psychedelic rock to experimental classical.
You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player and its Add Library import do not support this open-format library, and it stays in demo mode there.
On Windows, that means Windows 7 or higher. On Mac, OS X 10.9 or higher. Soundiron lists a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM as the minimum, and recommends a SATA or SSD drive for the sample streaming.
