506 Chapter 28 EVP88
Incorporated into the EVP88’s front panel, you will discover an integrated effects
processor which provides a number of classic effects popularly used on electric piano
sounds. The algorithms featured in the effects processor have been specifically
designed, adapted, and optimized for the EVP88. Included are: a great sounding
equalizer, an overdrive, a stereo phaser, a stereo tremolo and stereo chorus.
Parameters of the EVP88
Global Parameters
Model
The big switch shown above allows you to choose the electric piano model. When
selecting a new model, all currently active (sounding) voices are muted, and all
parameters are reset to standard values. As such, it is advisable to select the model
before attempting to edit the effect and parameter settings. There are several Rhodes
models available, such as the Mark I, Mark II and the suitcase piano plus the Wurlitzer
and Hohner Electra Models. The EVP88 simulates the sound of these instruments which
have (re)written modern popular music history. You can read more about the simulated
instruments in “A Brief History of the Clavinet on page 503.
