Vintage Keyboard FX
Scarbee Vintage Keyboard FX was conceived and produced with one goal in mind: To supply you with outstanding models of vintage analogue effects processors, especially suitable for keyboard sounds. Great care was taken in the selection of the modelled hardware, and a thorough alpha- and beta testing team was in constant communication with us, allowing for very detailed molding and tailoring of the sound.

With a choice of eight different effects - Preamp, Compressor, Wah, Phaser, Chorus, Overdrive, Delay and Amp, all with MIDI-syncable rates and times, the user is in charge of a very powerful array of sounds. We've even included the possibility to decide the order of effects, allowing you to experiment and greatly enhance the sonic potential of the plug-in.

But it doesn't end there! With the A-B Morph function, the user can make two completely different sets of settings, and morph between them with a slider. Naturally, all parameters are automatable, and each module is equipped with a separate bypass-switch, to conserve CPU resources. Great care in the programming stage was taken to ensure as low CPU consumption as possible, while still maintaining excellent sound quality.

The VKFX is a probably not so known but very powerful , we could say modular, multi fx. You have a wide palette of "classic" modules (preamp, amp, phaser, delay, overdrive, etc.) and they are modelled after very famous products of the past. The VKFX was born as the perfect friend for Scarbee's electric piano libraries, and if you do not have a Fender Twin or a Roland JC20 in your room or if you do not want to spend time with them, it's really the best option. But it can be really really useful also in other contexts, in general for warming up and give an "analog" feel to virtual instruments, synths, etc. I've met people that use it on every track, just to achieve that.

And being it a modular thing, you can use just the modules you need and put them in the order you need in the chain.
Very low on CPU too, and that's a big plus for me! Fair price, especially if you think at all the money you need if you want to buy just two or three of the devices modelled in the VKFX!
Recommended!
