EFFECT CHAIN PRESETS – OVERVIEW

The included signal chain presets are based on high quality effects from Overloud. Effects used range from reverb to tape simulation and distortion. You can adjust each preset by using a set of controls that will affect the individual parameters.

Standard
The default preset maintains the natural tone of this instrument. Shape further by using the controls for EQ and reverb.Raw Tweaks
A true bypass preset that represents what the piano sounded like from the raw recording.Grand Rock
Shaped to cut trough in your mix while still maintaining the natural piano character. Good for use in anything from big rock songs to subtle ballads. Controls for EQ, compression, reverb and detuning.Mellow Chorus
A nice allround setting that is usable for ballads, rock or solo performances.

Warm and Saturated
A deep, warm sounding setting with a tape feed knob that lets you adjust the amount of tape saturation. The reverb used in this preset is a plate.

L.A. Studio
A brighter mid-scooped setting with a pronounced attack. You’ll be able to tweak the amount of EQ, reverb and chorus.

Boogie Room
Clear and distinct. Works equally well for solo performances as for cutting through in a mix.

Dusty
Here we go back a few decades to a dusty blues or jazz club. The default setting is mono. A tape hiss knob completes the full vintage experience.In the Big Hall
This preset features a hall reverb that is adjustable from subtle to huge. Sculpt the tone from big to small or bright to mellow by using the body and brightness controls.Space Noir
This creative FX preset features vibrato and delay.Atmos
In this setting, the shaping is done by blending in an octave effect. Together with the big reverb and the stereo enhancer, you can shape this sound way beyond the original tone of the piano.

Wasteland
A delay and an inverse reverb are the corner stone of this preset. Controls for delay amount, delay time, reverb and EQ can create spacey and surreal sounds.
