- Page 4 (or even audible) in the original electric piano instruments. However, since the effect brings completely new dimensions to the sound, we thought it would be nice to include this feature also in Radical Keys. There are also a number of other controls for further shaping the sound the way you want it.
- Page 5 Key ranges The key range in Radical Keys is E0 to E6 (73 notes) for all sounds. However, since the key ranges of the original Wurlitzer and Pianiet T are more restricted, we have pitched/modelled the notes that exceed the original ranges. The...
- Page 6 This signal is taken straight from the built-in outputs of the electric pianos. This clean signal is best suited for further processing in Radical Keys and/or in external effects devices. You could also combine the line signal with the Amp or Room signals to achieve great results.

Page 7: Loading And Saving Patches
Selecting piano sound sets A patch in Radical Keys can consist of a mix between two piano sound sets. The mix could be between two sound sets from the same piano, or from different pianos. You could, for example, blend a Line’d Rhodes with the Room microphones from the Wurlitzer to create your own custom piano sound. - Page 8 This can make the velocity response feel and sound unnatural. Thanks to the combination of samples and physical modelling in Radical Keys, all sound sets feature very wide and completely seamless velocity ranges.

However, the Pianet sound in Radical Keys can be controlled from a connected Sustain Pedal, and therefore also feature a faked mechanics noise.
- Page 11 The sinewave represents the character of the Vibrato effect in Wurlitzer, whereas the rounded squarewave represents the character of the Rhodes tremolo effect. Stereo Width The Stereo Width control can be used for creating a stereo tremolo effect. Stereo tremolo is typical for Rhodes suitcase pianos. RADICAL KEYS...

Note that this might also affect the Pedal mechanics noise, see “Pedal”. Note that the original Pianet T does not feature any sustain pedal. However, the Pianet sound in Radical Keys can be controlled from a connected Sustain Pedal, just like the other sounds.
