NOTE Piano types marked with an asterisk (*) can have their tuning adjusted by setting the TunCrv parameter (Tuning Curve)
to “stretch” (page 44).
Pre-Amplifier Block
The Pre-Amplifier block has an effect on the sound only when a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO
category has been selected for the part in question. In such a case, furthermore, a unique set of
parameters specifically for the selected type of piano will be made available in this block.
Configuring Pre-Amplifier Block Parameters
Pre-Amplifier block parameters are chosen automatically based on the type of piano voice selected
so that the sound of that voice can be perfectly adjusted. For this reason, the parameters displayed
will vary from voice to voice. In the following table, you will find a description of all of this block’s
parameters in alphabetic order.
DX Woody With its rich, woody body, the DX Woody voice delivers a mellower electric-piano sound.
DX FTine Recreating a classic voice from the DX electric piano, the DX FTine shows off the characteristic
attack sound of this instrument.
DX 7 II With the body portion of the sound changing in response to how you play, the DX 7 II will allow you
to experience the wonderful richness of expression for which the DX electric piano was renowned.
DX Mellow The DX Mellow voice is gentle and well suited to ballads; however, powerful playing will still pro-
duce a much harder sound.
DX Crisp Although relatively full-bodied, the DX Crisp remains highly present within an ensemble thanks to its
unique attack sound.

the DampReso parameter sets the depth of this
resonance.
