E.Piano Edit Parameter

Piano Designer

Parameter

Explanation

Category

Tone category

  • Other parameters such as the MFX do not change when you change the category.

Inst

Instrument of a tone
You can select different instruments depending on the current category.

  • Switching between instruments does not change parameters such as Piano Designer or MFX.

Bell

Volume of the bell sound

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

Detune

How much detune is applied

Sound Lift

Changes how the sound plays when you play the keyboard lightly.
You can change the settings to be more suitable for playing solo, or to bring the piano sound up in the mix when playing with a band.
Larger values produce a certain level of sound even when you’re playing lightly. This makes it easier for your playing to be heard when you’re performing with a band.
Changing the value has no effect on how the tone changes according to velocity.

KeyOff Resonance

Adjusts the resonance of the subtle sounds that occur when a key of an electric piano is released.
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

KeyOn Mech.Noise

Sound when pressing a key on the electric piano (when playing the keyboard and the hammer strikes the tine or reed mechanism)
Higher settings produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the mechanism.

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

KeyOff Mech.Noise

Adjusts the resonance of the subtle sounds that occur when a key of an electric piano is released (such as the key action and hammer).
Larger values produce a louder key release sound.

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

Damper Noise

Adjusts the damper noise volume (the sound of the tone bar lifting off the strings when you press the damper pedal).
Higher settings produce louder damper noise.

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

Hum Noise

Volume of hum noise picked up by the pickup
Lower values produce a clear sound, and higher values produce a dirty sound. A value of “0” makes the hum stop entirely.

  • This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone.

Hiss Noise

Volume of hiss noise

Note Rng Up

Velocity Rng Low

Velocity Rng Up

Ext Offset

Transmits MIDI messages for switching tones to the external device. The value you set is transmitted when you switch scenes. Messages are not transmitted when “---” is selected.

Parameter

Explanation

External Cutoff

Adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency. Increasing this value makes the sound brighter, and decreasing it makes the sound darker.

External Reso

Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort. Increasing this value strengthens the character, and decreasing it weakens the character.

External Attack

Adjusts the time over which the sound reaches its maximum volume after you press the key. Larger values make the attack gentler, and smaller settings make the attack sharper.

External Decay

Adjusts the time over which the volume decreases from its maximum value. Larger settings of this value make the decay longer, and smaller settings make the decay shorter.

External Release

The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to become inaudible. Larger settings of this value make the sound linger, and smaller settings make the sound end more abruptly.

Ext Mon/Pol

Parameter

Explanation

External Mono/Poly

Sends a MIDI message (MONO/POLY) to set how the tone is to be played to the external device.
POLY: polyphonic
MONO: monophonic
The value you set is transmitted when you switch scenes. Messages are not transmitted when “---” is selected.
