Red (Top) pickups bass C0-C3 and treble C#3-C6, independently switchable left, off, or right channel It was a vintage machine, there is some AC hum towards the end of the sustain as the note level fades however, in practice harpsichord playing - even as an electric harpsichord - tends to favour a playing style that doesnвЂ™t contain long notes.Дownload Combo Electric Harpsichord User GuideД«lue (Mid) pickup bass C0-C3 and treble C#3-C6, independently switchable left, off, or right channel Use it solo, or try layering the Red/Top pickup tone with another instrument for some extra bite!Д®very note of both pickups of the Combo Electric Harpsichord was directly sampled at 24/96. Thus I wouldnвЂ™t suggest this is in any way a replacement for a regular harpsichord, to the point where if you try to use it for baroque music in any kind of public fora, your classical music professor would probably spit their own kidneys out.ДЄppreciating then that this isnвЂ™t the most versatile of instruments, for anyone producing music in the indie, pop, funk, or reggae genres, this fun little beauty will certainly add an interesting alternative, if occasional, texture. So while it does not possess the lightness of tonality one might expect of a typical baroque harpsichord, the electric aspect gives it a rich funkiness and grit that allows it to be more upfront. For the Combo Harpsichord IвЂ™ve extended its capabilities somewhat by duplicating the first pair of pickups as the Light Blue and Light Red voices, which can be selected from 8вЂ™ or, more usefully, as a 4вЂ™, for quick octave doubling additionally, pickups can be offset with a short delay to create a double-strike effect (just 2-3ms works best, but you can delay up to 360ms for various flam lengths). The mid pickup (the Blue voices) provides a deeper, duller tone, somewhat equivalent to a neck pickup on a guitar, while the top pickup (the Red voices) creates a bright tone similar to playing a bridge pickup on a guitar, and is marginally more in keeping with a harpsichord. Thus when the key is depressed, its string is plucked, and the two magnetic pickups turn the string vibration into the electrical signal that makes the tone. The easiest way to describe it is as a guitar played like a harpsichord. Sonically, it doesnвЂ™t quite sound like a standard harpsichord. It certainly will have cropped up on a number of pop tracks of that extraordinarily rich late 60вЂ™s era (it likely appears on a least one recording by The Monkees, for example), as harpsichords were rather in vogue at that time, but my guess is generally it was layered or fairly deep in the mixes and thus more easily mistaken for a baroque harpsichord, hence the lack of better information as equipment lists got lost to time and memory. Don Randi (no, me neither) used one a lot. Its most notable use was George Martin playing it on The Beatles song вЂњBecauseвЂќ ( Abbey Road, 1969), but other references to specific song usage has been hard to come by: The Beach Boys toured with it (the same one which was reported as having recently been used by Daft Punk), but IвЂ™m unclear as to whether it featured on any of their studio recordings. A rare and exclusive curio from the world of retro keyboards, we present our version of a design classic, the Baldwin Solid Body Harpsichord, also known as the Electric, or Combo, Harpsichord.Дesigned in 1950вЂ™s America by Caleb Warner and Eric Herz, it found its niche when manufacture transferred to Baldwin in the early 1960s.
