Authentic voices
|
|
The vast palette of dynamic and authentic voices serves all needs - the S90 ES builds upon unbelieveable 230 MB of Sample-ROM (decompressed)! Let the Category Search function help you find the desired sounds simply by selecting a certain sound type.
Use the four sliders of the S90 ES to control the voices in realtime - change parameters like filters, levels, effects, envelopes, and others right while you are playing!
The effect processors refine the sounds with the final touch - with 20 types of reverb, 49 types of chorus, eight separate insert-effects with 117 types each, a master effect with 8 types and digital equalisers (three-band EQ per Part and a five-band Master-EQ).
The half-pedal function, used to control the release of a sound, and the new developed Damper Resonance insert effect, which reproduces the harmonies and special soundings of a grand piano with pressed damper pedal, give the piano voices of the S90 ES the extra kick of realism.
Furthermore many voices are tuned in Stretched Tuning - as used by modern acoustic pianos and concert grands.

Perfect integration

Three slots for the Modular-Synthesis-Plug-In system are waiting to expand the S90 ES with additional synthesizers and signal processing modules. Plug-In boards expand the S90 ES with more Voices, more effects, more polyphony, and more instrumental parts. The S90 ES holds special Plug-In-Voices in it's ROM so that you are able to play the corresponding Plug-in board right after installation.
