Var. RX Lr Notes
1 • The tine-based electric piano "par excellence", in one of its
most typical '70s settings, played through a guitar amp.
2 • The same tine-based piano, with a classic phaser setting,
as made famous on countless classic rock and soul record-
ings.
3 • This is another essential setup, characterized by the
unmistakable stereo tremolo effect.
4 • This is a custom version of the original timbre, much
brighter and sharply outlined than the original. A very
popular modification made to these instruments in the
late '70s and early '80s.
5 An essential digital instrument of the mid-'80s and
beyond, this classic synthesizer made a wide range of
electric piano sounds.
6 A more cutting and strong variation of the previous
sound.
1 • A staple sound of the 60's and 70's, considered the more
funky and earthy-sounding electric piano.
2 • The same reed-based electric piano, with effects settings
emulating the classic "logical" sound.
3 • Released in the mid-'70s, this was the very first portable
piano really close to the real thing.
4 • One of the first truly acoustic sounding sampled piano,
produced by Korg. Deep bass, and bright trebles, with
natural dynamics.
5 An innovative, accurate and expressive piano sound, cre-
ated in the late '80s with a popular digital keyboard/syn-
thesizer.
6 • This is a layered sound, famously used on so many pop
hits of the '80s and '90s. It blends acoustic and electric pia-
nos with some extra "helpers" for a powerful ballad
sound.
1 • Born as a portable harpsichord, this instrument became
one of the most popular and distinctive timbers ever.
2 • "BC" configuration of the original register switches. A
more "edgy" presentation of the clav, modeled after a
really "super" funk song from the '70s.
3 • "BD" configuration of the original register switches.
4 • "AD" configuration of the original register switches.
5 • Electro-mechanical piano produced in the 60's, with a
unique mellow sound very popular within gigging musi-
cians.
6 A popular electronic piano from the '70s, used by many
famous classic rock and prog-rock musicians.
