MODEL T

AN 80S CLASSIC

Late in the 70’s was launched a simple yet powerful electromechanical piano. Manufactured betwen 1977 and 1982, this classic electr-mechanical piano was one of the simplest EPs in the history. Based on reeds, ands sticky pads, the it offers a “Reed” like sound but with a much more present mechanical noises due the proximity of the mechanics to the keyboard itself. It does not offers a sustain pedal or volume/tone controls.

Despite this his tone makes extremely effect-friendly as many of the vintage EPs. This was one of the most affordable and common eletromechanical piano produced in the late 70’s. Based on reeds, it generates a warm, bell-like but dark tone.  It does not includes sustain pedal, due his simple mechanics and easily replaceable pieces.

But we included the option to activate the sustain pedal on our modeled recreation. Also we recreated mechanics sound, very present in every sound. (Controlable individually on our instrument).

WHAT EXACTLY IS SPECTRAL MODELING?

Every sound in nature can be decomposed into simple sine waves. From a bird tweet to a trumpet note. Spectral modeling is the process of analyzing and creating a sound by stacking simple sine waves. According to Julius O. Smith (Standford) Spectral modeling provides a sound representation much closer to the perception of sound by the brain because your ear and brain are in fact spectral decoders.
