Electric Piano
160
There are inevitable limitations in using conventional sub-
tractive synthesis to attempt to simulate the sound of an
electric piano, but by using X-MOD (cross modulation) you
can produce the complex waveform that is required.
1 Use the Initialize operation to set the Performance
to the basic settings.
[INIT/UTIL]: Initialze: PERF: TEMPORARY
2 Set the OSC COMMON section [X-MOD DEPTH]
to the maximum setting.
3 In the OSC2 section, set [RANGE] and [FINE/WIDE]
to the maximum settings.
4 Set the FILTER section [CUTOFF FREQ] to the min-
imum setting.
The sound will no longer be heard.
5 Move the FILTER ENVELOPE section [D] to the
position shown in the diagram, to specify how the
brightness will decay.
6 Adjust the FILTER ENVELOPE section [DEPTH] to
modify the tone to your taste.
7 Move the FILTER ENVELOPE section and AMP
ENVELOPE section [R] settings to the positions
shown in the diagram.
This will eliminate the click that is heard when a key is
released.
8 Set the FILTER section [KEY FOLLOW] to the
desired position.
Play and compare notes in the high and low keyboard
ranges as you adjust this setting.
9 Move [MULTI-FX LEVEL] to the position shown in
the diagram.
This will give the sound more spaciousness and depth,
making it more mellow.
10
Move the DELAY [LEVEL] to the position shown in
the diagram to add reverberation to the sound.
11
If you want keyboard playing dynamics to affect the
brightness (FILTER ENVELOPE section [DEPTH])
and volume (AMP section [LEVEL]), adjust the
Velocity settings (p.81). Before you make these
adjustments, turn on [VELOCITY] in the CONTROL
section.
