4–1a: Electric Piano

Tine EP II, Tine EP V, Tine EP DMP,

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

For more information, see "Tine EP," beginning on page 367

and "Reed EP," beginning on page 369.

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.

[–1.0...+2.0]

Pitch Slope, pitch, and note

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.

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.
