  • Page 3 PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide The Classic Keys ROM option equips your PC1x with authentic reproductions of “vintage” keyboard sounds, which over the years have become essential to the modern keyboardist. The PC1x Classic Keys ROM contains samples of the following instruments: Hohner Clavinet (Treble Pickup Setting and Release Thump), Mellotron (Strings, Choir and Flute) ARP Solina String Ensemble, Hohner Pianet, Yamaha CP-80 Electric Grand Piano (Soft and Hard Strikes), and RMI Electra-Piano (Piano, Harpsi and...
  • Page 4 PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide Hohner Clavinet Most famous for having been used on Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”, Rufus and Chaka Khan’s “Tell Me Something Good”, and on nearly all of Bob Marley’s hits, the Clavinet had originally been conceived by Ernst Zacharias of Hohner, to be the next stage in the evolution of the clavichord.
  • Page 5 PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide The Mellotron Also famous for its string sound, the Mellotron, later renamed the Novatron, was manufactured in the U.K., by Streetly Electronics, from 1962-1986. A predecessor to the modern digital sampler, the Mellot- ron used strips of analog tape, one for each key, to reproduce actual recorded sounds. Every key had its own corresponding motor and tape head, which were engaged when the key was depressed.
  • Page 6 PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide Note: Hohner also manufactured the much more rare Electra-Piano (not to be confused with the RMI Electra-Piano) which featured an enclosure resembling that of an upright piano. Reported to have a ham- mer mechanism very much like the one found in the Rhodes, the Hohner Electra-Piano featured a built-in amp and four speakers.
  • Page 7 PC1x Classic Keys User’s Guide PC1x Version 2 Operating System Feature CC Pedal Parameter Many of the patches in the Classic Keys expansion board make use of controller 04 - Foot, as a "wah" pedal. However, the typical assignment for the CC Pedal in Program Mode is controller 11 - Expression. While it is possible to reassign the CC Pedal in the Internal Setup, which is used by the Program mode, you may find that you want to change the assignment more frequently and conveniently.
