ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
1.1 Pr oduc t O vervi ew
The unmistakable sound of the electric piano has shaped our musical landscape since the 70s. This sound changed the way we
think about the piano, and it opened up many new musical possibilities. Now the sound, feel, and personality of this unique piano is
available from Waves.
Waves painstakingly sampled a well-used, road-worn Mark 1 88-key electric piano to capture the nuance and detail of the original
sound. The result is the Electric 88 Piano plugin and standalone application. Every element of the instrument’s sound—down to its
beautiful imperfections—is captured to recreate the magic realism of the original. We’ve gone a few steps further by integrating our
high-quality studio eects and by adding unique features for tone shaping. And there’s a mix section that enables you to use these
tools to put your own personal stamp on this era-dening sound.
For anybody looking to grace their tracks with an electric piano full of character and soul with its own personality, look no further.
The Electric 88 Piano from Waves has arrived.
1.2 Concept s and Terminolog y
The type of electric piano that became a pop, rock, and jazz favorite in the ‘70s was invented by Harold Rhodes in the 1940s.
The technology behind the instrument consists of a hammer, similar to the ones in acoustic pianos. A hammer strikes a small metal
rod, called a tine, that’s connected to a larger tone bar, which is, in essence, a tone generator. Once struck, this tone generator
vibrates, emitting a certain pitch. This vibration is turned into an electronic signal using a pickup that sits opposite the tine. The
overall structure is somewhat similar to a tuning fork.
Page 5

ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
The richness of the instrument stems in part from the relationship between the tines and the tone bar. The response of the tines
dominates when the tines are struck by the hammer, during the attack period of the note. This sound is bell-like. The tone bar
dominates the sustain of the note. Its sounds are very sinusoidal, with varying degrees of harmonic distortion. You can control the
balance between the tines and the tone bar to inuence the eect: turn up the tines to create a more bell-like start and a more
punchy attack, or turn them down to resemble a more mellow and worn instrument.
Electric 88 Piano is powered by WSE, the Waves Sampler Engine, a state-of-the-art multi-sample engine designed to deliver solid,
high-quality performance.
1.3 C ompone nt s
The Electric 88 Piano has one component: Electric 88 Piano Stereo
Electric 88 Piano is a virtual instrument plugin and will appear under the related selection menus for virtual instruments under all
supported DAW host applications.
Waves Electric 88 Piano also works as a standalone application, using ASIO (Windows) or Core Audio (Mac) drivers to play through
your audio device of choice. Electric 88 Piano receives MIDI data to trigger notes and control changes.

CHAPTER 2: QUICK START GUIDE
Insert Electric 88 Piano on an instrument track in your DAW or launch the standalone application. Start to play and you will
quickly understand how to get the sound you want. There are two modules with which to control the behavior and sound of the
instrument.
Use the top module to create and control eects such as tremolo, phasing, stereo imaging, chorus, and reverb.
Use the bottom module to control the characteristics of the keyboard and the amplier.
Navigating the presets
Electric 88 Piano presets are managed with the WaveSystem Toolbar at the top of the window.
Use the Next/Previous preset arrow controls on the toolbar to scroll through presets. Click the Load button to reveal all presets.
Saving, loading, and using Electric 88 Piano presets are discussed in Chapter 5 of this user guide.

CHAPTER 5: THE WAVESYSTEM
5.1 Effects Module
All Waves plugins feature the WaveSystem toolbar, which takes care of most administrative functions you will encounter while working
with your Waves software. The features of the WaveSystem toolbar are the same on practically all Waves plugins,
however, Electric 88 Piano has its own set of controls that you access from the WaveSystem toolbar: see Section 5.2.2 below.
To olb a r F u nc t i on s
Opens the plugin About box.
Undo Undoes the last 32 actions.
Redo Redoes the last 32 undone actions.
Setup A/B Toggl es be twe en tw o pre se ts, u se ful f or co mp ari son o f p ara me te r s et tin gs.
Load Filter A toolbar exclusive to ELECTRIC 88 Piano that lets you specify whether certain preset characteristics should be loaded. See
the next section for details.
L/R Arrows Move to the previous or next preset.
Copy A>B Copies the current settings to the second preset register.

ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
3.2 Controls
3.2.1 Keyboard Control
Factory Presets are permanent presets in the Load menu. Factory presets cannot be overwritten or deleted. When applicable,
dierent component plugins may have dierent factory presets.
User Presets are user-saved plugin parameters that are saved in the Load menu as “User Presets.” Unlike factory presets, user presets
can be overwritten and deleted.
Setup Files may contain more than one preset. For example, a single le can contain all the presets for a session. When you open
a Setup File, all its setups become part of your Load drop-down menu for fast access. This can be particularly useful with multiple
instances of a plugin in a single session. By saving all your settings in a single Setup File, they are all quickly available for every instance
of that plugin.
5.2.2 Loading Presets and Setups
Click on the Load button to see the Load pop-up menu. The menu is divided into four sections. If a section is not currently available it
will not appear in the Load drop-down menu.
Open Preset File… Select to open any setup or preset le, whether from the Library or your own creations.
Page 25
25
ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
‘Filename.xps’: Displays any currently loaded Setup File and its presets.
Factory Presets: Displays the default Factory Presets.
User Presets: Displays any loaded User Presets.
Load with Preset – MIDI, Arp-Seq and Tempo
The Load with Preset lter is a custom toolbar used only with Electric 88 Piano; it lets you choose whether or not to load certain preset
characteristics, such as MIDI assignments, arpeggiator/sequencer settings, and tempo. When checked, these parameters are loaded.
Here are some practical examples:
MIDI – You’ve assigned a MIDI controller knob to Electric 88 Piano’s VCF cuto. Loading the next preset will reset this parameter;
you will then have redo the MIDI Learn routine in order to attach the knob to the control. However, if you uncheck the MIDI
checkbox, the next preset will be loaded, but the current MIDI assignment will remain in place.
Arp-Seq –You have a bass line arpeggio that you like, and you want to test the pattern using a dierent sound. Uncheck the Arp/
Seq checkbox, and the preset will be loaded without any associated Arp/Seq settings, leaving the pattern as is.
Te mp o – You’re working on an arpeggio with an internal tempo of 140. Loading presets may set the tempo to a dierent value,
or to receive from your host. To ignore tempo settings saved with other presets, uncheck the Tempo box, and your current tempo
setting will remain when loading other presets.

5.2.3 Saving Presets and Setups
Click on the Save button to see the Save pop-up menu. Four options are available. If an option is not currently available it will be grayed
out and inaccessible.
Click on the Load button to see the Load pop-up menu. The menu is divided into four sections. If a section is not currently available it
will not appear in the Load drop-down menu.
Save to New File…
Select this to start a new Setup le. There are two prompts - rst for the setup lename, then for the preset name. You must provide a
name for both the setup le and the preset. Click OK (ENTER) to complete the save. It is a good idea to create a folder in which to save
several setup les for a project.
Save ‘File Name’ – “Preset Name”
Overwrites the settings of the loaded preset (whether a User Preset or a preset from a Setup File) with
the current settings. If a Setup File is currently loaded, the name of the Setup File is displayed, followed by the name of the preset itself.
If a User Preset is loaded, its name is displayed.
Save to ‘File Name’ As…
Saves the current settings as a new preset into the open Setup le (if a Setup le is not open, the option is grayed out). You will be
prompted to give the preset a name.
Page 27
27
ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
Put into Preset Menu As…
Save the current settings into a User Preset that will always be in your Load menu (until deleted). You will be prompted to give this
preset a name. User Presets are stored in the plugin’s preference le.
Please note: Special characters (such as: !, @, #, %, ^, etc.) are not supported in preset names.
Deleting Presets
Yo u may de lete Us er P re sets and pr es ets with in a Set u p Fi le. Factor y P re sets and Set u p Lib rar y l es c an not be dele ted or ove r wr i tt en .
1. Hold the Command (Mac) / Control (PC) key down.
2. Click and hold the Load button to see the pop-up menu.
3. While still holding the Command/Control key, select the preset or setup to delete.
4. A conrmation box will appear, allowing you to cancel or ‘OK’ the deletion.
A/B Comparison and Copying
The Setup A/Setup B button may be clicked to compare two settings. If you load a preset in the Setup B position, this will not aect the
preset loaded into the Setup A position, and vice-versa.
If you want to slightly modify the settings in Setup A, you can copy them to Setup B by clicking on the Copy to B button, then alter
Setup A and compare with the original Setup B.
The name of the current setup will be shown in the title bar (on platforms that support it), and will switch as you change from Setup A
to Setup B.
Note: An asterisk (*) indicates that parameters have been changed since the preset was loaded.

ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
5.3 Interface Controls
Controls can be in one of three states:
Not Selected The control is not the target of any user entry.
Selected The control is the target of mouse control entry only.
Selected and Active The control is the target for both mouse and keyboard entry.
To ggl e Bu t ton s
Toggle buttons display the state of a control and allow switching between two or more states. Single-click to change the control’s state.
Some toggle buttons have a text display that updates with the current setting; others (bypass, solo, or monitoring toggles) illuminate
when the control is active.
Some plugins have link buttons between a pair of toggle buttons, allowing click-and-drag adjustment while retaining
the oset between the controls.
Value Window Buttons
Value windows display the value of a control and allow click-and-drag adjustment, or direct control via the keyboard.
Using the mouse, click-and-drag on the value window to adjust. Some value windows support left/right, some up/down
(as you hover over a button, arrows will appear to let you know which direction of movement that button supports).
Yo u may al so u se y our mo use whe el t o a djus t p ar amet er v alu e s.
Page 29

ELECTRIC 88 PIANO
Using the arrow keys, click once with the mouse to select the button, and then use up/down or left/right (depending on the direction
supported by that button) to move in the smallest incremental steps across the button’s range (holding down the arrow keys will move
faster through the range).
Using key entry, double-click on the button to open the value window and enter the value directly from your keyboard. If you enter an
out-of-range number, the button stays selected but the value remains at the current setting.
Some plugins have link buttons between a pair of value windows, allowing click-and-drag adjustment while retaining the oset
between the controls.
Sliders
Click or scroll the mouse-wheel on the slider itself or anywhere within the sliders track. The numerical value of the slider settings is
displayed in a hover window above the slider path.
Hover Box
Hover the mouse over a control to display and its current value.
Multiple Control Selection
One of the most powerful features of the WaveSystem is the ability to select and adjust multiple controls simultaneously. Using the
mouse, drag-select the desired group of buttons or graphic controls by clicking and holding at a point outside the controls, and form a
rectangle that includes the controls you wish to adjust. Alternatively, press and hold Shift while clicking the mouse on any control you
wish to link. This method is useful when you want to select two or more controls that are not adjacent to one another.
