Waves Clavinet demo: Watermelon Man

[Harry_HH]

Waves has launched several affordable sampled "retro" instruments, latest was the Clavinet.
The following tune demonstrates how versatile this litte keyboard is: all instrument sounds (except drums)
are Clavinets, no other effects used as Clavinets own effects. Time to time I have added songs punch-line by using in the vocoder with a Clavinet carrier.

Herbie Hancock´s Watermelon Man suits well to this presentation, I have always liked it rhythm, which gives many possibilities to different syncopations. (Hancock himself has told he tried to emulate the melon man´s carriage swinging in the Chicago cobblestone street).
