To adjust the amount of overdrive, simply play some notes and gradually turn the overdrive knob
clockwise. Notice how the amount of overdrive increases as you turn the knob. Adjust to taste.
Chorus
: The ELECTRIC PIANO comes with a built-in chorus effect. This effect was popularly used
with the Rhodes electric piano popular during the 70's. The Rate and Depth controls allow the
player to "tweak" the effect to his or her taste. The LED indicator located near the Chorus push-
button shows the player when the effect is on. MIDI control changes can also be sent to turn on
the effect and set the rate and depth. This effect causes the polyphony to drop from 32 to 16
notes due to the assignment of 2 voices for each note.
Tremolo
: An effect popularly used with the Wurlitzer electric piano. This sinusoidal amplitude
modulation gently varies the volume of the sound produced. The Rate and Depth controls allow
the player to set the amount and speed of the effect. This effect is stereo like the one found in
the suitcase Rhodes model electric pianos. Its variation in volume alternates between the stereo
audio channels. If a mono audio system is used be careful to use only one audio output from the
ELECTRIC PIANO because mixing the stereo signal to mono nullifies the Tremolo effect. The LED
indicator located near the Tremolo push-button shows the player when the effect is on. MIDI
control changes can also be sent to turn on the effect and set the rate and depth.
Wah-wah
: A must for the Clavinet sound. This effect produces the same sound as when a
trumpet is played with a mute. Effect pedals created to produce this sort of effect were popular
for guitar during the late 60's. An analog filter inside the electric piano is used to create the Wah-
wah effect. It can be controlled from as many as three sources simultaneously: the keyboard's
modulation wheel, a foot controller plugged into the jack on the rear panel of the ELECTRIC
PIANO, and key velocity. The key velocity control is turned on by the Auto Wah-wah push-button
on the front panel. Modulation wheel and foot control are enabled by the Wah-wah On push-
button. All three control sources may be active at the same time. The LED indicators located near
the two Wah-wah effect push-buttons show the player which Wah-wah effects are on. MIDI
control changes can also be sent to turn on the two Wah-wah effects.
Transpose
: Useful for changing the musical key which the ELECTRIC PIANO will play. This control
will allow you to utilize different ranges of notes on your keyboard. This is especially useful if
your keyboard has five octaves or less.
PRESETS
The ELECTRIC PIANO has 32 presets. The first 22 presets can be accessed through the preset
selector on the front panel; to access all 32 presets you must use a MIDI controller capable of
sending at least program changes 0 to 31. Set the preset selector to
P
when using your MIDI
controller to send program changes
.
This tells the ELECTRIC PIANO that all program changes will
now be set by your MIDI controller.
