Scarbee Mark I - User Manual – 8
2 The Instrument
2.1 Programs
There are two programs to choose from: the standard “Scarbee MARK I” and the “Scarbee
MARK I - Stretched Tuned.” In stretched tuning, two notes an octave apart are tuned slightly
further apart to compensate for an acoustic phenomenon where you perceive the octave as
being out of tune.

2.2.1 Original Noise adjustment
For the MARK I, we recorded the original noise before we removed the noise from the samples
using sophisticated noise-reduction. We made certain that samples were not degraded in
quality after the removing the noise, not even the highest frequencies.
The default setting is the exact original level of noise. Noise will play along with other samples
when you hit a key and since the noise sample is mapped to 1-note polyphony, you always
get the same amount of noise, no matter if you play 1 or 30 keys. Feel the magic when turn-
ing down noise to zero!!
• InstrumentNoiseLevel: move the knob to set the level of the hum & hiss noise. Original
recording level of the noise is middle position.
