EVD6 - The Hohner Clavinet D6

From the Logic Instruments manual:

"The sound of the Hohner Clavinet D6 is synonymous with funk, but was also popularized in the rock, pop, and electric jazz of the 1970's by artists like Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Keith Emerson, Foreigner and the Commodores. If you've heard "Superstition" or "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder then you know that the D6 is the funkiest instrument alive!"

This is the EVD6 software synth.
