In the Pickup/Bell screen you can adjust the sound of electric piano.
Adjusting the Thickness of the Sound (Bar Angle)
The typical Electric Piano produces sound when a hammer strikes a
metal rod called the tine with tone bar, whose vibrations are
detected by a pickup. On this type of piano, the tonal character can
be adjusted by changing the angle of the tone bars and pickups.
Equivalent tonal changes can also be produced for Electric Pianos
that don’t use tone bars.
Adjusting the Character of the Attack (Bell/Thump)
This adjusts the balance between two components of the attack; the
Bell component and the Thump produced by the hammer.
