CHAPTER 11. SOUNDS: TINE ELECTIC PIANO.
This is a simulation of the famous Rhodes Electric Piano . It's not specific to a Mark I, Mark II or Mark V model because it can do them all.
The parameters you find in the EDIT PIANO page are:
 TYPE: This lets you select one of the 9 different variations.
 ATTACK LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the wooden noises.
 RELEASE LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the damper noises you can hear every time a key is released.
 HAMMER HARDNESS: Adjusts the hardness of the hammer tips; a higher value produces a snappier attack, a lower value
produces a softer attack. This also affects the amount of metallic component you hear at the attack of each note.
 BITE AND BARK: Adjusts the aggressiveness of the virtual tines. This aspect also varies according the selected variation.
 METALLIC: Adjusts the metallic component of the tine sound.
 RESONANCES: Adjusts the level of the sympathetic resonances. When the
sustain pedal is held down, the whole harp is free to vibrate so each key
stroke puts the harp into self-resonance.
 PICKUP OFFSET: Adjusts the average offset of the pickups in front of the
tines. This parameter affects the balance between the fundamental and its
overtones. The picture at the right shows the correlation between the tine,
the tonebar and the pickup in a real Rhodes piano.
 HI-PASS FILTER: Adjusts the hi-pass filtering, similar to the original “BASS
BOOST” knob, which is indeed a passive high-pass filter.
 PEDAL NOISE LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the noise produced by the
sustain pedal.
