ProKeys 88 Overview The ProKeys 88 is a stage piano with 14 high-quality onboard sounds. M-Audio's unique hammer-action keyboard design makes for a realistic grand piano feel. It also functions as a useful MIDI controller for your sequencer or sound module. [. . . ] Piano across the entire keyboard range with chorus only on part of the keyboard, and a layer of Strings that doesnt interfere with the bass notes. Try substituting Piano 1, or any of the FM Pianos. You can also try substituting the Warm Pad for the Strings. While youre at it, try transposing the Strings up an octave as well. What About When Split and Layer Mode are Active?- The Octave and Transpose Features affects ALL of the active instruments at the same time. This means that if the Split or Layer Modes are active, all 3 of the active instruments will be affected by the Octave Shift or Transpose. However, it is possible to alter the Octave or Transpose of any instrument independently by holding down the instrument's button respectively, and pressing the Transpose + and - Buttons as appropriate. If editing an Instrument's octave in this way, the maximum octave shift is 10 octaves either way. If you have already reached the bottom-most or top-most note, subsequent octave shifts will have no effect, as this parameter does not wrap either. You will need to use the Transpose + or - Buttons to return to 0. Note that the maximum transpose shift is always 12 notes in either direction. If you are using the ProKeys 88 as a MIDI controller, these buttons will also affect the note on that is sent out of the MIDI out ports. Digital Effects Buttons Pressing either of these buttons allows selection of the type of the corresponding effect (Reverb-type or Chorus-type, respectively). < Effect Type When you press one of these buttons, the effect will turn on, and the currently assigned effect number is displayed on the LED display. The selected effect type can be altered using the numeric keypad and `+' or `-` buttons. The available effect types are: Chorus: Slow Fast Reverb: Stage Hall Church < Effect Depth (amount) When a digital effect button is pressed and held, the LED will display the current send setting for that effect. The send level defines the amount of wet signal heard. A value of 64 is an equal level for the wet and dry signals. This is the default or "midway" setting for any unedited effect send level. A value of 127 is fully wet (no dry signal), while a value of 0 is fully dry (no effect at all). The default depth has been set for each program, and will vary with each program. < Storing Effect Settings for Each Individual Instrument It is possible to store the digital effect set up for each of the 14 Instruments. The effect's type, depth and state (on/off) for both reverb and chorus can be stored.
