Description

cal compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic
piano.

Clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.

E.Piano 1

An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for pop-
ular music.

E.Piano 2

The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.”
Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played
hard.

Harpsichord 1

The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since the strings of a
harpsichord are plucked, there is no touch response.

Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant tone.

Vibraphone
