Electric Clavinet
The Electric Clavinet sound is based on the EVD6. It emulates the Hohner D6 clavinet. It
offers the following unique parameter:
 Damper: Changes the tone of the clavinet, making it less sustained, and more woody
sounding as you move towards the high setting.
Electric Piano
The Electric Piano sound is based on the EVP88. It sounds like the Fender Rhodes
electric piano. Macro parameters are:
 Model: A more bell like tone is achieved when the Tines button is selected.
 Decay: A short value will make the sound almost plucked, whereas a long setting will
make the sound sustain while the keys are held.
Guitar
The Guitar sound is sample-based. It offers Classical Acoustic, Clean Electric, and Steel
String guitar sounds, which are accessible from the Settings menu.
Horns
The Horns sound is sample-based. It emulates a Horn Section, Pop Horn Section, and a
Trumpet Section, which can be accessed via the Settings menu.
Hybrid Basic and Hybrid Morph
The Hybrid Basic and Hybrid Morph are sample-based synthesizers that can create
spectacular sounds. Unique parameters are:
 Waveform: Choose the sample set used to generate the basic synthesizer sound.
Each wave in the Hybrid Morph synthesizer is based on two sample layers.
 Morph: Controls crossfades between the two sample layers.
 Morph Envelope: Allows you to control the morph over time. As an example, setting
the Morph parameter to B and the Morph Envelope to From A To B, morphs the Wave
from A to B in accordance with the ADSR envelope settings.
 Cutoff Type: This menu contains a number of preset filter curves. Try them out, and
experiment with the Cutoff and Resonance parameters.
Note: It you set the Morph parameter to A and the Morph Envelope to From A to B,
certain ADSR settings will result in no sound. In this context, you can achieve
interesting results by using the modulation wheel to offset the Morph parameter
during live performances.
In the Hybrid Basic synthesizer, you can use the Wheel to Vibrato and Wheel to Cutoff
sliders to determine the parameters controlled by the modulation wheel.
