Legacy Electric Piano in Logic Pro
Electric Piano, which is based on Vintage Electric Piano, sounds like the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos.
If you're new to using plug-ins in Logic Pro, see Add, remove, move, and copy plug-ins in Logic Pro.
Model buttons: A more bell-like tone is achieved when the Tines button is selected.
Decay slider: A short value makes the sound almost plucked, whereas a long setting sustains the sound while the keys are held.
Bell Volume slider: Makes the sound more bell-like, with a stronger ringing tone.
Voices pop-up menu: Choose the maximum number of voices that can be played simultaneously.
Tremolo slider: Sets the maximum tremolo (wobbling pitch) intensity.
Chorus slider: Sets the level of the integrated Chorus effect.
Chorus makes the sound richer and thicker.
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
MIDI Mode pop-up menu: Choose Off or Modwheel to Tremolo.
When the latter is chosen, move your keyboard modulation wheel to set the tremolo (wobbling pitch) intensity.
