486 Chapter 27 EVD6
You’ll appreciate the perfect integration of the EVD6 into Logic. In use, it’s much easier
to handle than a real world Clavinet. There’s no need to transport a bulky and heavy
instrument, or to attach any cables to it. In addition, the EVD6 eliminates the problems
of reliability, getting new parts, and tuning—all of which are becoming increasingly
difficult with the original instruments.
You will also discover an integrated effects processor incorporated into the EVD6’s
luxurious front panel, which provides a number of classic effects popularly-used with
the original Clavinet. The algorithms featured in the effects processor have been
adapted, and optimized, for the EVD6. Included are: a great sounding Wah,
Modulation, and Distortion circuit.
Parameters of the EVD6
Most of the “slider” parameters on the EVD6 interface are mapped to zero-centered
ranges—if a slider is in its middle “neutral” position, it doesn’t affect the base sound of
the selected EVD6-model. If the slider is moved to the left or right, it will scale the
original parameter value positively or negatively by that amount.
The EVD6 front panel can be broken down into five main sections, namely: the Global
silver panel section at the bottom, the Excite/Click and String parameters to the top left,
the Pickup window in the top center, and the Effects section at the top right.
