acoUstIc PIaNo EQ sEttINGs
Unlike other EQ options, the
SOFT
setting for acoustic pianos does not
apply filtering to the sound. Instead, the sample selection for the current
piano is adjusted so that a softer sample is selected for a given velocity,
giving the sound an intimate and subdued quality.
the
MID
mode de-emphasizes both high and low frequency ranges,
making for a focused and cutting sound with a prominent mid-range.
the
BRT
(Bright) mode emphasizes the high frequency range, producing
a very bright and brilliant sound.
ElEctrIc PIaNo EQ sEttINGs
When an Electric Piano is selected, all available EQ settings are tailored
specifically to suit these sounds.
the
SOFT
setting reduces the treble and bell sound, while retaining a
focused and punchy sound.
the
MID
setting boosts the upper mid-range, adding “presence” and cut
to the sound.
the
BRT
(Bright) setting boosts the upper mid-range and adds brilliance/
treble, giving both presence and clarity to the selected piano sound.
the
DYN1
and
DYN2
settings are both based on sounds produced by a
custom preamp and EQ, which was a common addition to tine based
electric pianos in the 70’s and early 80’s. Both settings greatly enhance
the inherent “bell” sound of the electric piano sound. the dyno 2 setting
also boosts the bass register, resulting in a distinctly “mid scooped”
sound.
