Tine Layer

The bell-like sound in an Electric Piano comes from the tine layer which is composed of two resonators being excited by a filtered hammer. First, the hammer goes through a 2-pole high-pass filter to remove any unwanted low frequency content like thumps or clicks. Then, the resonator’s frequency ratios are set to 7 and 20 to generate those harmonics respectively. Finally, a volume parameter is recommended to control the level of “brightness”.
