SP-1 Stage Piano

The SP-1 Stage Piano will play two piano or pad presets simultaneously, chosen via the Preset Selector wheels. The two

presets can be layered or split, or you can choose to play only a single preset by choosing “None” with one of the Preset

Selector wheels. The presets include seven acoustic pianos, four electric pianos, and three pads (only available for the

second Preset Selector wheel). The ﬁrst 10 SP-1 presets are created using multiple velocity sample layers; preset 11 uses

FM synthesis, and presets 12-14 (available only on Preset Selector 2) are made from a combination of sampled strings and

analog synthesis. The SP-1 has two dedicated effects.

< Preset Select Wheel 1: this rotary knob chooses a piano preset from the following list.

01 Natural Grand

02 Bright Grand

03 Soft Grand

04 Hard Grand

05 Concert Grand

06 Upright

07 Honky Tonk

08 Electric Piano 1

09 Electric Piano 2

10 Wurli

11 FM Piano

12 None

< Velocity: adjusts the velocity (dynamic) response for preset 1. A setting of full (to the right) sets the largest

dynamic range between hard and soft played notes. A setting of zero (to the left) velocity has no effect on

dynamics.

< Tone: turning the knob to the left ﬁlters or reduces the brightness of the preset.

< Mix: sets the volume balance between preset 1 and 2.

< Split: sets the note at which the keyboard splits. Preset 1 always plays below the split point and preset 2 always

plays above (including the selected note). Possible split notes are: C2, F#2, C3, F#3, C4, F#4, C5.

< Detune: turning to the right adjusts the tuning of preset 1 negatively and preset 2 positively.
