Key-off String
samples resonance
This sound was sampled from a full concert grand
piano. Three stages of dynamics were sampled,
and no effort has been spared in making the sound
virtually identical to that of an acoustic piano. Even
the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal
and the subtle sounds of releasing a key are repro-
duced. The sympathetic vibration (string reso-
nance) that occurs between the strings of an
acoustic piano has also been simulated. Suitable
not only for classical compositions but also for piano
pieces of any style.
A warm and mellow piano sound. Ideal for classical
music.
A bright-sounding piano. Ideal for rock styles.
A honky-tonk style piano. Enjoy a tonal character
×
that is quite different than a grand piano.
A spacious and clear piano sound with a bright res-
× ×
onance. Ideal for popular music.
A spacious and bright piano sound. Ideal for popu-
× ×
lar and rock music.
An electronic piano sound produced by an FM syn-
× ×
thesizer. The tone will change as you vary your
playing touch. Ideal for popular music.
This voice simulates the electric piano sound pro-
× ×
duced by synthesizers in popular music. It also
goes well with the acoustic piano sound.
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-
×
struck metallic "tines." Soft tone when played lightly,
and an aggressive tone when played hard.
A different type of electric piano sound. Widely used
× ×
in rock and popular music.
The sound of the instrument frequently used in
baroque music. Variations in playing touch will not
×
affect the volume, and a characteristic sound will be
heard when you release the key.
A harpsichord with an added upper octave. Pro-
×
duces a more brilliant sound.
This is the voice of a keyboard that produces sound
by striking the strings with magnetic pickups. This
×
funky sound is popular in black contemporary music.
Because of its unique structure, the instrument pro-
duces a peculiar sound when you release the keys.
×
A distinctive effect is preset.
Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The
× ×
tone becomes more metallic the harder you play.
A marimba sound, sampled in stereo for spacious-
× ×
ness and realism.
The sound of a celesta (a percussion instrument in
which hammers strike metallic bars to produce
× ×
sound). This instrument is well-known for its
appearance in "Dance of the Sugar-plum Fairies"
from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite."
