Chapter 24 EVP88 381
Tune
The global Tune setting lets you tune the EVP88 in one cent increments. A value of 0
equals concert-pitch A 440 Hz. The range is ±50 cents or, in more music-related terms,
plus/minus half a semitone. For transpositions in semitone or octave steps, please use
the Region Parameter box in the Arrange window, as per any standard MIDI instrument.
Modeling Parameters
The modeling parameters specifically affect the currently selected model.
Decay
Decay time of the piano sound. The lower the value, the less the sound sustains, and
the higher the level of damping applied to the vibration of the tines. When short values
are used for this parameter, the main tone is more pronounced, and sounds longer
than the transient harmonics. The effect is somewhat reminiscent of an electric guitar
string being damped with the palm of the picking hand. Electric pianos can be modified
in a similar way. Longer settings result in more sustain and a less dynamic feel.
Note: Check out Logic Studio’s compressor plug-ins and experiment with different
settings for decay.
Release
The release parameter determines the amount of damper applied after the keys are
released. Extremely long settings allow you to play the piano like a vibraphone.
Bell
Bell determines the level of the inharmonic treble portion of the tone. It is useful for
emulating a number of classic and typical electric piano sounds.
Damper
This parameter sets the level of the damper noise caused by the damping felt hitting
the vibrating tine.
Stereo
When set to high values, bass notes sound from the left, and treble notes from the
right channel. The effect is nice and spacey, but it is not typical for vintage electric
piano sounds.
