Logic Pro 7 Workshop Using the EVD6

Logic Pro’s EVD6 faithfully re-creates the sound of the Hohner Clavinet, but how do you go about producing a suitably vintage performance? Mark Cousins shows you how to get funky...

Thanks to Stevie Wonder’s infectiously rhythmic playing on Superstition, the Clavinet – an otherwise bizarre combination of harpsichord and pickups – has become one of the funkiest instruments ever built. Following on from the authenticity and detail of Logic Pro’s other vintage instruments, the EVD6 keeps the spirit of the Clavinet very much alive and well, retaining all of the original Clavinet’s controls and a host of essential effects (including distortion, compression, phasing and wah) that have become integral to the sound we all know and love. But for newcomers to the Clavinet – or, indeed, the EVD6 – how do you combine these elements to create an effective and suitably ‘funkalicious’ performance?
