Hello!

I'm trying to modify the "eg release" value of some of the E. Piano programs but nothing happens

For example:
I-A018: EP Mark I PreAmp&Cabinet

I'd like to extend the release time of the notes, but I can't.

So... is this a normal implementation of the rhodes programs? or it's a Korg Kronos bug? I have no experience in rhodes pianos, so that's why I'm asking...

Thanks!
Gino

PD: I'm using firmware 1.5.0

somebody correct me if I'm wrong, if E.P.s are anything like the grand piano's synthesis engine, Korg sampled the sounds from beginning to end without any looping. so I doubt there is any way to make the release portion any longer. you might have some luck with the dx style pianos, if they are coming from the fm synthesis engine.

They are a combination of modeling and sampling, not unlooped samples like SGX-1. Haven't tried to change EG on them myself though. Try the modeling page maybe? As opposed to the EG page?

no the rhodes (EP-1) is not unlooped... i notice this when i played through some EP-1 patches, the disk light won't beep (as it does while i play SGX-1 Piano)...

to extend the release time (when pressing the damper pedal), go to EXI tab, and go to oscillator tab.. on the "harmonic sound" box, look at decay parameter, then try to increase it

to extend the release time (while not pressing the damper pedal), on the same page, try to increase the release parameter there...

well i think it's still looped, because you can change the release parameter... unlike SGX... SGX play samples until the end of it.. you cannot change or extend the release time...

lets assume that it's unlooped, and 3 velocity layer sampled... to load all those samples (6 types of EP ???) to the ram would require at least 2-3 gigabytes???

This topic begs the question... Even with a damper pedal connected, and set up to act as a damper pedal, it will actually function as a sustain pedal, holding the sustain level of patches that have this parameter (synths, strings, horns, etc). Pianos and percussion instruments do not have a sustain portion. So when you press a sustain pedal on a piano patch, how is the Kronos handling the envelope to create the release portion? Are we hearing the release portion, or is it a continuation of the initial decay. Some graphics for this concept would be nice.
