INTRODUCTION
The ELECTRIC PIANO is designed to provide the player with sounds, effects and most
importantly, the expressiveness of mechanical electric pianos. The timbre of the sounds created
by the ELECTRIC PIANO varies greatly and smoothly over the entire key velocity range. The
effects provided can be used to achieve the sounds heard in popular recordings of the past or
create new sound innovations.
The ELECTRIC PIANO is real easy to use. It requires absolutely no programming. There are front
panel rotary controls for volume, overdrive, effects rate and depth, transpose and preset. It has
built-in analog effects such as: Chorus, Tremolo, and Wah-wah. The Wah-wah effect can be
controlled by key velocity, modulation wheel or from an external foot controller.
There are 32 presets in the ELECTRIC PIANO. The first 17 are basic keyboard sounds without
effects and the remaining 15 presets are popular combinations of sounds and effects. The first 22
presets are selectable via the front panel: all 32 can be selected through MIDI. In addition, the
ELECTRIC PIANO can operate in three part multi-timbral mode for any three adjacent channels as
well as MIDI OMNI ON mode (all channels). There are high-level stereo audio outputs, CH2
output may be used to drive high-impedance stereo headphones. All this makes the ELECTRIC
PIANO very easy and intuitive to use.

Summary of Contents for Voce ELECTRIC PIANO
- Page 1 The ELECTRIC PIANO is real easy to use. It requires absolutely no programming. There are front panel rotary controls for volume, overdrive, effects rate and depth, transpose and preset. It has built-in analog effects such as: Chorus, Tremolo, and Wah-wah.
- Page 2 WAH-WAH ON allows both the controller's modulation wheel and the external pedal input on the ELECTRIC PIANO to control the Wah-wah effect. The Wah-wah effect can also be enabled via MIDI, see the section on MIDI CONTROLLED EFFECTS for more information.
- Page 3 MIDI controller. There are a total of 32 presets in the ELECTRIC PIANO. The first 22 can be selected through the PRESET selector. All presets (the front panel 22 and the last 10) can be selected via program changes from a MIDI controller.
- Page 4 1. Connect a MIDI Controller The ELECTRIC PIANO requires a MIDI connection to a MIDI device such as a MIDI keyboard, digital piano, or computer in order for it to be played. Connect the MIDI out of this device to the MIDI IN jack of the ELECTRIC PIANO using a MIDI cable.
- Page 5 Tip and the Sleeve is grounded. 5. Connect AC Adapter The ELECTRIC PIANO requires an external AC adapter. Make sure that you first connect the small barrel connector on the rear panel of the ELECTRIC PIANO before connecting the AC adapter to the wall outlet.
- Page 6 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.
- Page 7 * not accessible from the front panel switch—use MIDI program change to access. MIDI OMNI ON MODE When the ELECTRIC PIANO is in MIDI OMNI ON mode, it will respond to all MIDI channels. Any NOTE ON/NOTE OFF information (within the note range utilized by the ELECTRIC PIANO), program changes (if the PRESET selector is set to P), and specified control changes regardless of MIDI channel will be recognized by the ELECTRIC PIANO in this mode.
- Page 8 15, 16, 1 MIDI CONTROLLED EFFECTS The ELECTRIC PIANO allows control of several of its effects via MIDI control changes. The following table lists the effects that can be controlled by MIDI, their MIDI control numbers, and the associated control values:...
- Page 9 Controlling The Wah-wah Filter Frequency From A Continuous Controller: Program the MIDI keyboard's controller (foot, slider, ect.) to send data on MIDI control number 1, just like the modulation wheel. The ELECTRIC PIANO recognizes controller number 1 as the Wah-wah's filter frequency control.
