Piano Type & Pre-Amplifier Units

Each of the CP1's Piano blocks

comprises a Piano Type unit and

a perfectly suited Pre-Amplifier

unit. Whenever you choose a

piano type, therefore, the ideal

pre-amplifier for that specific

piano will be automatically

selected. Broadly-speaking, the

Piano Block replicates three

different classes of piano sound –

namely, acoustic pianos, electric

pianos, and synthesizers. The

following pages will describe the

actual piano sounds that can be

realized in each of these classes.

01-1 Acoustic Pianos

The acoustic piano voices of the CP1 effortlessly reproduce the

distinctive sounds of Yamaha grand pianos, which are among the

best in the world. When an acoustic piano is played live as part of a

band, the sound thereof is normally picked up using a number of

microphones and then mixed in order to prevent it from being

drowned out by the other instruments. As part of this process, the

signal from the microphones is boosted using pre-amplifiers and its

frequency characteristic is adjusted using tone control in order to

realize the best possible sound for the overall ensemble. For this

reason, the acoustic piano voices of the CP1 feature microphone

pre-amp simulators that can be used to optimize the sound in the

very same way.
