Tonic EP — Electric Piano

A physically modeled electric piano with three instruments: Tine, Reed and the E.Grand.

THREE INSTRUMENTS
• Tine: a steel tuning fork read by a magnet. A bell in the attack, a round body, and the growl that shows up when you dig in.
• Reed: a steel reed read by static electricity. Sweet when you play lightly and barking when you play hard, with the sound of the small speakers in the lid.
• E.Grand: the stringed electric piano of the 70s and 80s, across 88 keys, with the original circuit's preamp and Brilliance switch, and half-pedaling.
Switching instruments never cuts the note that is ringing.

A CONTROL FOR EVERY PART
• Tine: Position (where the tine sits in front of the magnet), Distance (close growls, far sounds clean), Bell, Pre and Tone.
• Hammer: Hardness (worn or new tip), Decay, Damper and Fork, the slow beat between the two arms of the tuning fork.
• Reed: Bark, Comb, Clang and Cabinet.
• E.Grand: Bass, Middle and Treble on the preamp, the Brilliance switch, Unison (the two strings, from the real instrument to a wide chorus) and Width.
For the Rig, DI straight in or Suitcase, with the stereo tremolo on the mod wheel.

EFFECTS RACK
16 effects built for keys: compressor, wah (pedal or auto), drive, amp with 6 models and a cabinet, 4-mode phaser, 8-mode chorus, vibe, flanger, tremolo, auto-pan, rotary with 4 cabinets, lo-fi, tempo-synced ping-pong delay, reverb with 9 spaces, 5-band EQ, and the limiter with Stereo. Drag to change the order of the chain. 121 effect presets and 17 ready-made chains swap the effects without touching the piano.

ON STAGE
Six scenes per sound (A–F) swap the whole sound mid-song, and Compare lets you hear the saved sound against your edit. MIDI Learn on any control, with a map per keyboard: one knob on your controller moves up to 12 controls at once. NRPN, MPE and a MIDI filter. Sustain pedal, pitch bend, volume, expression, Program Change and PANIC. Up to 64 notes at once. Pair a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard; on the Mac, the computer keyboard plays too.
