01Overview

Tines is an electric piano instrument from the developer Klevgrand. It combines a stereo tremolo, a multiband distortion panel and a subtle room reverb to cover sounds from a soft, slick electric piano to a more aggressive, bright tone. Klevgrand describes it as a modern, playable instrument rather than a strict vintage emulation, and says its velocity curve is tuned to feel responsive on a MIDI keyboard. A free trial is available.

Electric Piano Tone and Character

Tines is built around an electric piano voice with a set of effects that shape its character. Wobble Depth and Wobble Speed control a tremolo that moves each note's volume over time, so individual notes vibrate rather than the whole sound. Phase controls the phase offset between the left and right output channels, which widens the stereo image and adds movement.

The multiband distortion panel adds grit when you want the sound to bite. Klevgrand says the instrument can range from a dreamy, classic-style electric piano to a harsher, Wurlitzer-like tone. The developer notes it is not meant to be a vintage recreation, so it suits producers who want a contemporary electric piano sound.

Controls for Decay, Space and EQ

Decay sets how long each note sustains, letting you move from short, percussive hits to longer, washed-out notes. The Fresh Air control adds a balanced room reverb with stereo spread, giving the sound depth without a separate effect in your chain. A 3-band EQ lets you shape the final tone.

Because the core controls are grouped on one panel, Tines is quick to dial in a sound before adding your own processing.
