# Name Type Var. RX Notes
1 Tine EP/Amp E.Piano 1 1 √The tine-based electric piano “par excellence”,
in one of its most typical ’70s settings, played
through a guitar amp.
2 Tine EP/Phaser 2 √The same tine-based piano, with a classic phaser
setting, as made famous on countless classic rock
and soul recordings.
3 Tremolo EP 3 √This is another essential setup, characterized by
the unmistakable stereo tremolo effect.
4 Dyno EP 4 √This is a custom version of the original timbre,
much brighter and sharply outlined than the
original. A very popular modification made to
these instruments in the late ’70s and early ’80s.
5 VPM Piano 5 An essential digital instrument of the mid-’80s
and beyond, this classic synthesizer made a wide
range of electric piano sounds.
6 VPM Tine 6 A more cutting and strong variation of the pre-
vious sound.
7 Reed EP 1 E.Piano 2 1 √Perhaps the original electric piano, first released
in the late-’50s, used by countless famous musi-
cians.
8 Reed EP 2 2 √The same reed-based electric piano, with effects
settings emulating the classic “logical” sound.
9 Electric Grand 3 √Released in the mid-’70s, this was the very first
portable piano really close to the real thing.
10 SG-1D Piano 4 √One of the first truly acoustic sounding sampled
piano, produced by Korg. Deep bass, and bright
trebles, with natural dynamics.
11 80's Synth Piano 5 An innovative, accurate and expressive piano
sound, created in the late ’80s with a popular
digital keyboard/synthesizer.
12 MIDI Grand 6 This is a layered sound, famously used on so
many pop hits of the ’80s and ’90s. It blends
acoustic and electric pianos with some extra
“helpers” for a powerful ballad sound.
