Vintage Electric Piano model controls in Logic Pro for iPad
The model parameters affect the instrument chosen in the Model pop-up menu.
Model parameters
Voices knob and field: Set the maximum number of voices that can sound simultaneously. Lower the value to limit polyphony. When Voices is set to 1, Vintage Electric Piano is monophonic. The maximum value is 88, allowing for glissandi over the entire keyboard range when the sustain pedal is depressed.
Stereo 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’re trying to faithfully recreate a vintage electric piano because these instruments were not equipped with stereo outputs.
Tine and volume parameters
Decay knob and field: Set the 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 set, the main tone is more pronounced and is heard for a longer period than the transient harmonics. Sonically, the effect is reminiscent of an electric guitar string being damped with the palm of the picking hand. Electric pianos can be modified in a similar way. Higher values (longer settings) result in more sustain and a less dynamic feel.
Release knob and field: Set the amount of damping applied after the keys are released. Extremely long settings (high Release values) let you play the piano like a vibraphone.
Bell Volume knob and field: Set the level of the (inharmonic) treble portion of the tone. This is useful for emulating classic electric piano sounds.
Damper Volume knob and field: Set the level of damper noise. This emulates the damping felt hitting the vibrating tine in the original instruments.
