Vintage Clav Main window in MainStage

The Main window provides access to the most commonly used parameters.

Main window parameters

Pickup Position display: The two dark bars shown in the Pickup Position display indicate the positions and angles of the upper (above the strings) and lower (below the strings) pickups. See Use Vintage Clav Pickup parameters.
Stereo Spread parameter: This two-part parameter alters the stereo imaging of Vintage Clav output—controlled by key position. This parameter also provides control of the pickup panning position. See Use Vintage Clav Stereo Spread parameters.
Brilliance knob and field: Set the level of the harmonic content caused by string excitation. Positive values—to the right—result in a sharper sound. Negative values result in a more muted sound.
Decay knob and field: Set the decay time of the strings, following the attack phase of a played note. Positive values increase the decay time. Negative values reduce the decay time.
Filter switches: The four filter switches emulate the original tone control switches of the D6.
- Brilliant: Make the sound nasal with a strong bass cut.
- Treble: Make the sound sharper with a gentle bass cut.
- Medium: Make the sound thinner with a slight bass reduction.
- Soft: Make the sound softer or more muted.
Pickup switches: Use the AB and CD switches to alter the “wiring” of the virtual pickups, thus changing the tone. See Use Vintage Clav Pickup parameters.
Volume knob and field: Set the overall output level.
Note: MIDI controller 11 scales the output level—unless it is assigned to control Wah or Damper parameters.
Damper slider and field: Mute the strings. The Damper parameter can also be controlled with a MIDI controller. For information on assigning a controller to the Damper slider, see Vintage Clav Misc parameters.
