is there anyone here that has seen one of those? is there some modern synths that sounds like them? i really would like to have one but there looks like there is impossible to get one..just wondering.

Never seen one but Joe Meek's sideman Geoffrey Goddard definitely made great use of it.

ja det hade vart helt suveränt att använda en..men det lär väl tyvärr vara helt omöjligt att fÃ¥ tag pÃ¥ en..(it would have been great to use one unfortunately i guess it is almost impossible to get hold of one) —The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier. www.myspace.com/tumbleweedofsurf |

Does anyone know of a CD with samples of the Clavioline that I could load into a sampler? Or is there a keyboard with a Clavioline preset? Or a computer virtual keyboard with the Clavioline sound? —www.laundromatvacation.com |

I am interested in vintage keyboards myself lately. I did't know about the Clavioline. There is this website for more info: I am surprised that Nord does not have a sample version? They cover most other keyboard sounds it seems . . . |

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/msg/562245919.html I have seen one for sale, so they may be hard to find, but I'm sure not impossible. I see they are a primitve kind of sampler. A very early synthesizer of sorts. I think it would be hard to do a sample of a sampler. At least the "Telstar" sound would be nice. It sounds like the "bagpipe" setting to me. |

There's no sampling going on in there - Im sure of that; the technology didn't exist. The earliest form of sampler was the Mellotron with it's tape loops. Even then it wasn't very easy or practical to do your own. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

Ok, thanks for clarifying! Actually, for surf I much prefer the electric piano sound like the Chantays used on Pipeline. I think I read that it was a Wurlitzer model. I hear the same sort of sound on The Surfite's "Big Pounder" album to very nice effect. Some organ begins to sound more "garage" to me. |

It's great to hear that there is a growing interest in Claviolines. Part of my work is doing full restorations of vintage keyboards (my specialty is Moog modular synths) and I've restored about 20 Claviolines to date. |

soniccouture have a sample package called "The Attic" which includes Univox and Solovox samples. As for Clavioline I found a freeware sample pack by Burt Wolff called "Clavioline For Structure". The download link has been dead a long time but I have it on my PC if anyone would like to try it out. Unfortunately Structure wasn't the most popular plugin and it was created using Pro-Tools, I'm not sure if that furthers the problem. The file extension for Structure is .patch and so far I can only find one compatible converter called "Chicken Systems Translator" - too expensive for a single task.

I've seen the Clavioline used on Telstar played by Peter Knight, with The Moontrekkers. — |

A couple of years ago I was trying to create a soft synth emulation of a Clavioline. I didn’t have a set of samples but had to go by ear, listening to Clavioline tracks in my library and online and using information I could gather about the preset sounds available on the instrument. Kai Winding had a Clavioline on some of his best tracks. I did one track with the best I could come up with - more Winding than Tornados. The computer broke down some time later. I still have the audiofiles and the presets, but the soft synth host is not running on modern systems, so I would pretty much have to start over on a new platform to have some Clavioline-like sounds again. Not that I had time to record something anyway. In any case here’s that track. —The Exotic Guitar of Kahuna Kawentzmann You can get the boy out of the Keynes era, but you can’t get the Keynes era out of the boy.

the one Runaway is a Musitron..a heavily modified Clavioline..at least after what i have heard. yes sorry to say but it seems impossible to get one. man i´d love to have one in my band.
