The ePiano-exclusive SoundSetter software provides intuitive control of the the General MIDI sounds on your computer. It is often used as the Sound control portion of the MusiConsole. SoundSetter is the simple sound selection tool that lets you "Play Your PC". The one button - one function design makes SoundSetter instantly understandable and a great time-saver.

This unique tool lets you select from 128 sounds in the General MIDI pallette, layer up to 6 at once, and play them from your MIDI keyboard.  The application is designed to let users orient quickly to the sound selection and mixing process. 


Soundsetter let's you:

  1. Select from 128 sounds to play from the universal standard General Midi (GM) sound palette (separate GM Sound Source required).
  2. Create unique sound combinations by layering and mixing up to 6 sounds at once.
  3. Change octave and volume per sound for unlimited sound mixing possibilities.
  4. Easily access and play drum sounds.
  5. Use a metronome with visual and audible feedback. 
  6. Save presets of your favorite sound combinations.
  7. Select a "panic" reset with one easy one-button to a solo grand piano sound.

Institutional applications include the management of piano ensemble classes, and the ability to explore a variety of sounds and sound layers. With proper driver installation, it may be used to control other external devices. It also allows sound selection during the operation of other MIDI software applications that do not have native sound selection options (Home Concert for example). Again, SoundSetter program is exclusive to ePiano and an essential component of being able to effectively use the computer as a music performance tool.

  • Simple instrumental sound selection, including dedicated drums/percussion button.
  • No latency playback of computer-based sound using Soundfont technology (proper soundcard required).
