E.PIANO section

The MP10’s E.PIANO section features nine different electric piano sounds arranged into TINE, REED, and OTHERS

categories. Each electric piano sound has been lovingly sampled from original, vintage instruments (complete

with imperfections), and can be enjoyed in their ‘organic’ form, or with analogue effects and speaker simulations

applied for added warmth and character.

cabinets, each with drive, level, and 3-band EQ parameters.
