A Forward-Looking Synthesizer from 1998

The EX5 Era of Extended Synthesis

The EX5 arrived near the end of the 1990s with several different methods of tone generation inside one synthesizer. This Wise Sound library focuses on the material most useful to Gospel, R&B and Neo-Soul musicians.

Notable EX5 Synthesis Systems Extended Synthesis
AN
Analog Physical Modeling A synthesis system designed to recreate analog-style behavior.
FDSP
Formulated Digital Sound Processing The technology behind the electric-piano pickup character featured in this library.
VL
Virtual Acoustic Synthesis Physical-modeling technology for expressive acoustic-style instruments.
The EX5 contained four methods of synthesis. This page highlights the three notable systems described in the original product information.

A Large Synthesizer Platform. A Very Focused Wise Sound Library.

The original instrument could produce an enormous range of synthesizer sounds. This library does not attempt to transfer every category from the EX5.

Wise Sound concentrated specifically on electric pianos and related sounds that serve Gospel, R&B, Jazz and Neo-Soul keyboard players.

Church-Musician Focus The selection emphasizes useful bread-and-butter electric-piano sounds rather than novelty effects.
Expressive Sample Mapping Multiple velocity layers preserve changes in attack, warmth, bark and drive.
Multiple Modern Yamaha Formats Separate editions are supplied for the MOTIF XF/MOXF family and the MONTAGE/MODX family.

The Main Focus of This Library

FDSP-Powered Electric Piano Character

FDSP was especially effective for electric pianos because it could emulate the behavior of the pickup that responds to the vibrating tine or tone bar.

Simplified Electric Piano Signal FDSP Concept
TINE VIBRATION → PICKUP RESPONSE → AMPLIFIED EP
This is a simplified visual explanation of the electric-piano pickup concept, not a technical diagram of the original hardware.

More Life, Bark and Pickup Interaction

An electric-piano pickup senses the movement of the vibrating tine or tone bar and transfers that behavior into the amplified sound.

FDSP recreated that interaction digitally, giving electric-piano patches added warmth, tine bell, dynamic bark and a more organic response.

Tube-Like Warmth The Clean set retains the warmth of the FDSP processing while disabling overdrive.
Tine Bell Stronger playing reveals the metallic and bell-like portion of the instrument.
Signature Bark Higher velocities bring out the aggressive electric-piano character needed for expressive Gospel and Neo-Soul playing.

Three Distinct Electric Piano Personalities

Clean, Dirty and Suitcase

Each sample set offers a different electric-piano character, and every set includes multiple patch variations.
