The KEY9’s layout is straightforward and intuitive.
A nine-position switch selects the desired instrument. The Keys knob adjusts the volume of the preset while Dry controls the volume of the untreated instrument level at the Keys Output jack. This enables a player to mix the sound of their original instrument with the electric piano, etc. to create lush layers, or mute it entirely. CTRL1 and CTRL2 provide adjustment of key parameters that help define each instrument’s signature sound. Many presets include adjustable modulation such as tremolo, phaser and chorus.
The new KEY9 Electric Piano Machine is available now, comes standard with an EHX 9.6-Volt/DC200mA AC adapter and carries a U.S. list price of $293.73.
