SWEET UPRIGHT
A sweet, warm upright, at home on your K2700.
A warm upright piano in eight velocity layers, with a pedal-down recording at every layer, dampers up to D6 and the top ringing free above them, and its own key-release sound. Three programs: the upright itself, a parlour voicing and an open, close-miked voicing.
The piano in the corner of the room, the one everybody plays.
SWEET UPRIGHT is a warm, sweet upright made for the K2700: the home piano, close and friendly, for songs, ballads and quiet evenings. Eight velocity layers keep it soft and round under a light touch and bright when you play out.
Every layer also has its pedal-down recording, so the strings ring together under the pedal; the dampers stop at D6 and the top rings freely above them, as on an upright. Let a key go and you hear its key release, softened to sit under the note, with the K2700's own pedal noises underneath.
Three programs share the samples: Sweet Upright, Upright Parlour and Upright Open. In KEDITOR GRAND it stands in its room as an upright, its top lid closed, half open or open, and answers the same 22 controls on the K2700's panel.
One upright, three ways to hear it.
Three programs on the same eight velocity layers.
SWEET UPRIGHT
The upright on its own, every control at its starting point: the one to shape from scratch on the K2700's panel.
UPRIGHT PARLOUR
The top half open, the microphone at 0.8 m, a softer top and a small room: the piano at home.
UPRIGHT OPEN
The top open and the microphone close, brighter and compressed, in a chamber: it speaks in a mix.
The whole piano on the K2700's panel.
Every program answers the same 22 controls in Program mode, on the K2700 alone: no Mac and no app needed to shape the piano while you play.
