Another awesome demo, Rich! By the way, does the EP-1 include the SV-1's spring reverb effect? Just curious, because I'm a big fan of that spring twang.

Re: New Kronos video- EP-1 Electric Piano

I love the sound of the phaser - nice and chewy. I am still trying to decide between the synth action and the 88 key hammer action, though I am still leaning towards the latter.

Rich: When using the VOX wah pedal effect can you use an expression pedal to play the wah live or are you limited to the "auto-wah" setting and only able to adjust using a slider as in teh video?
Just curious. Awesome video BTW. Thanks for what you do and keep them coming!

Re: New Kronos video- EP-1 Electric Piano

Thanks guys, glad you like it. Citizen Klaus- EP-1 has pre/mod effects from the SV-1, but not the reverb/delay section. Synthbot- You can use one of the pedal effects, but there are also 16 other effect processors you can use simultaneously. The pedal effects here are unique because they're part of the synth engine. midinut- You can set it to sweep automatically, or based on a controller (such as an expression pedal). -Rich :thu:

Re: New Kronos video- EP-1 Electric Piano

Hey Rich…thanks for the updates and the EP1 video. The auto-wah you use in the video clip seems triggered by velocity (more like a TouchWah); does this also do TRUE auto-wah (like the old Dr. Q pedals that would go “wa-wah-wa-wah” while you held a chord? (An effect I love and use a lot.)

Any plans to do a Chicago area demo? I’m ready to drop dime on this!
