3 The A-200 “Feel”
Why is the feel so important? If you are a composer or piano player, you will be able to an-
swer this question for yourself. The A-200 is one of a handful of classic instruments that can
honestly claim to be a writer’s primary compositional workhorse. Not just a tool for commit-
ting already firm ideas to a recording medium, but an inspirational tool—an instrument which
works in a synergistic way with the composer to generate fresh new musical ideas. We believe
that this inspirational element is largely the result of a combination of the basic timbral range
of the original electric piano and its very organic dynamic response.
After extensive testing we came to the decision that, in order to ensure that the sound, action
and feel of the original piano was authentically duplicated, a proprietary system of sampling
was needed to be applied throughout the entire recording phase of the Scarbee A-200’s
development. Without this system, it would simply not have been possible to recreate the
experience of playing the real electric piano. As a result of this effort and attention to detail,
the action and feel of the Scarbee A-200 exactly duplicates that of an exceptionally well
maintained, and “hot rodded” instrument.
As with the Scarbee MARK I, we feel proud to be able to say that the Scarbee A-200 has, for
the first time, captured that same tone and feel, the true soul of the original in 24 bit digital
form. The truly wonderful benefit of this technology is that we are now able to preserve this
great EP’s character far beyond the natural lifetime of such an electro mechanical instrument
and well into the future for generations of musicians to come.
Unlike a modeled instrument, the Scarbee A-200 is not a software engineer’s approximation
of the elements which combine to create this electric piano sound.
In the end, the A-200 is all about playing. Sit back, load up and enjoy.
