Ableton/Live/UG/31 Instrument Reference/05 Electric/01 Architecture and Interface

• 31.5.1 Architecture and Interface

  • A key drives a hammer into a fork, and a magnetic pickup amplifies the fork, much like an electric guitar. The fork has a tine bar, which the hammer strikes, and a tone bar, a tuned resonator. It rings for a long time until the key's release brings a damper down.
  • Four sections: Hammer, Fork, Damper/Pickup and Global. Click a section, or its icon, to show all its parameters.
