Stereo Width knob and field: Adjust the stereo field. At high values, bass notes are
heard in the left channel and treble notes are heard in the right channel.
Tip: Avoid using this parameter if you are trying to faithfully recreate a vintage
electric piano because these instruments were not equipped with stereo outputs.
Tine Bell knob and field: Set the level of the (inharmonic) treble portion of the tone. This
is useful for emulating classic electric piano sounds.
Damper Noise knob and field: Set the level of damper noise. This emulates the damping
felt hitting the vibrating tine in the original instruments.
Logic Pro Vintage Electric Piano pitch controls
Click the Details button on the control bar to use the pitch parameters. Vintage Electric
Piano is tuned to an equal-tempered scale. You can deviate from this scale and can
stretch the tuning in the bass and treble ranges, much as you can do with acoustic pianos
(especially upright pianos). You can also modulate the tuning of each note randomly.
Pitch parameters
Tune knob and field: Tune Vintage Electric Piano in one-cent increments. At a value of
0c (zero cents), the central A key is tuned to 440Hz, or concert pitch. The range is
plus or minus half a semitone.
Down/Up knobs and fields: Set the pitch bend range in semitone steps.
Warmth knob and field: Set the amount of (random) deviation from the equal-tempered
scale. Each note is slightly detuned from the next, adding life and richness to the sound.
Note: Use of both Warmth and Upper or Lower Stretch can result in a detuned sound
that is similar to a heavy chorus effect. In some instances, this effect may be so
extreme that Vintage Electric Piano sounds out of tune with the rest of your project or
concert.
Lower knob and field: Set the amount of deviation from the equal-tempered scale in the
bass end of the sound. The higher the value, the farther down the low notes are tuned.
At a setting of 0, Vintage Electric Piano is tuned to an equal-tempered scale, with each
octave down halving the frequency.
