4–1a: Piano Type
Piano Type
The Piano Type selects the basic sound character, like
selecting which of several pianos to play. The other
parameters, such as Velocity Bias, Lid Position, and so on,
let you make fine adjustments to the sound to suit your taste
and touch.
More technically, the Piano Type controls the sample
selection, the way that the samples are laid out across the
keyboard and velocity ranges, and the many internal
parameters which control how the samples are played.
If the Piano Type uses Multisamples which are not loaded,
the Samples Not Loaded message will appear at the top of
the display. To fix this, use the Load required samples
menu command (see "Load required samples" on page 154).
When the Piano Type is changed, other parameters on this
page remain unaffected.
Generally, an "s" after the Piano Type name indicates that
the original stretch tuning of the piano was used.
4–1b: Setup
Volume
This controls the overall volume of the piano. It's the same
as the standard EXi Volume on the Control Surface; changes
in one place are reflected in the other.
400
Pan
This controls the stereo position of the piano, "leaning" the
[List]
original stereo image to the left or right as desired. A setting
of C064 maintains the original stereo image; L001 places
the sound at the far left, and R127 at the far right.
When this is set to Random, the pan position will change at
each note-on. All notes will be change to the new position,
so this is for special effects only.
You can also set the Pan directly from the Control Surface
knobs. To do so:
1. Press the Control Surface Timbre/Track button.
2. Set the MIXER KNOBS switch to INDIVIDUAL
PAN.
3. Move Knob 1 to set the pan for EXi 1, and Knob 2 to
set the pan for EXi 2.
The on-screen parameter and the Control Surface pan are
one and the same; changes in one place are reflected in the
other.
You can also control pan via MIDI Pan (CC#10). A
CC#10 value of 0 or 1 places the sound at the far left, 64
places the sound at the location specified by the Pan
parameter, and 127 places the sound at the far right.
Note: you can select Random pan only from the on-screen
[0...127]
UI, and not from MIDI or the Control Surface.
