Reed EP 200, Reed EP 200A]
This selects the electric piano model. It mirrors the similar
control on Panel/IFX/Amp page; changes in one place are
reflected in the other. There are two basic types, Tine and
Reed, reflecting the two standard electric piano
technologies. Without getting too specific, Reed pianos are
“whirly” and Tine pianos may take you down familiar
“roads.”
For more information, see “Tine EP,” beginning on page 367
and “Reed EP,” beginning on page 369.
4–1b: Pitch
Pitch Slope [–1.0…+2.0]
Positive (+) values cause the pitch to rise as you play higher
on the keyboard, and negative (–) values cause the pitch to
fall as you play higher on the keyboard.
Normally, this should be set to the default of +1.0.
When Pitch Slope is set to 0, playing different notes on the
keyboard won’t change the pitch at all; it will be as if you’re
always playing C4. This can be useful for special effects
sounds, for instance.
Pitch Slope, pitch, and note
JS (+X) [–60…+12]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in semitones,
when you move the joystick to the right. For normal pitch
bend, set this to a positive value.
For example, if you set this to +12 and move the joystick all
the way to the right, the pitch will rise one octave above the
original pitch.
JS (–X) [–60…+12]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in semitones,
when you move the joystick to the left. For normal pitch
bend, set this to a negative value.
For example, if you set this to –60 and move the joystick all
the way to the left, the pitch will fall five octaves below the
original pitch. You can use this to create guitar-style
downward swoops.
