Epiano synth engine
An electric-piano model that also reaches plucks, strong leads and thick basses; its M1 page sets tone, texture, tine and punch.
The OP-XY has changed since TE’s guide was written; this page follows the device.
Epiano recreates the struck-tine electric piano. Tine sets how much bell-like attack each note has, tone the overall brightness, texture adds dirt and punch adds movement. With the tine up and a medium decay it sounds like classic keys; the guide also pitches it for leads and basses, so try it outside piano parts. The guide (1.1.15) lists punch before tine; on 1.1.33, after the 1.1.25 fix to the epiano's labels, tine sits on E3 and punch on E4. Load it from the preset browser, .
Details
- TE’s guide
Epiano imitates an electric piano and stretches to plucky keys, strong leads and heavy basses.
- TE’s changelog
OS 1.1.25 corrected wrongly named parameters on the epiano screen, so older firmware may label its encoders differently.
- checked on a unit · 1.1.33
On OS 1.1.33 the third encoder is tine and the fourth punch — the guide lists them the other way round.

Epiano's picture is an isometric stack of layers with tines, under a top bar of coloured cells labelled tone, texture, tine and punch.
