Getting to Know the EVP88 Interface

Before you take a look at the individual parameters of the EVP88, this section will familiarize you with the various elements of the EVP88 interface, which is broken down into the following main areas.

• Global parameters: The dark section at the top contains the Model, Voices, and Tune parameters. These are global options that affect the overall instrument. See Using the EVP88 Global Parameters.
• Model parameters: The left part of the row that spans the center of the EVP88 interface contains the actual synthesizer engine parameters, which allow you to alter the tone and playing behavior of the specific model that is currently active. See Using the EVP88 Model Parameters.
• Stretch parameters: The right part of the center section contains the Stretch parameters, which affect the tuning of the upper and lower registers for the currently loaded sound. See Using the EVP88 Stretch Parameters.
• Effect parameters: The lower third of the interface contains the effect parameters-EQ, Drive, Phaser, Tremolo, and Chorus. See Using the Integrated EVP88 Effects.
• Extended parameters: Not shown in the image, the extended parameters are accessed by clicking the triangle at the lower left of the interface. These parameters include volume, bend, and additional effect functions. See Using the EVP88 Extended Parameters.
