Chapter 24 EVP88 383
Effects
The EVP88 features built-in Equalizer, (Over)Drive, Phaser, Tremolo, and Chorus effects.
Equalizer
The Equalizer allows you to boost or cut the high and low frequency ranges of the
EVP88 sound.
Treble
This is a conventional filter for the high frequency range. Depending on the model
selected, shelving or peak type filters are utilized, with optimized frequency ranges for
each model pre-selected.
Bass
This is a conventional filter for the low frequency range. Depending on the model
selected, shelving or peak type filters are utilized, with optimized frequency ranges for
each model pre-selected.
Note: By defeating the treble and bass frequency ranges, you can achieve a very direct
and aggressive sound with a more dominant mid range. If you require more precise
equalization, remember that you can insert any of Logic Studio’s equalizer plug-ins into
the instrument channel strip. The Tone control in the overdrive effect can also be used
to further contour the sound.
Drive
Electric pianos sound best when playing through tube amplifiers. Tube amplifiers offer
a wide range of tones, ranging from the subtle warmth of crunchy guitar amplifiers
through to psychedelic, screaming rock distortion. The EVP88 features an overdrive
effect, which simulates the saturation characteristics of a tube amplifier stage. The
overdrive process is the first signal processing circuit in the effects chain available in
the EVP88.
