Q: Logic Pro X vintage electric piano

Is the vintage electric piano by default "direct" or does it already have some sort of amp emulator applied to it?

 

thank you

    Which specific vintage electric piano?

    When you assign a visual instrument to a track, all of the plugins it uses are there in the channel strip.  It is saved as a bundle, so to speak.  You can see it all very clearly in the channel strip.

    I Appreciate the help Ben

     

    what I meant was are the Rhodes/whitlitzer sounds (before the channel strip) on the "vintage electric piano" (i think it used to be called EVP88) based on what the Rhodes would sound like "direct out" or what the Rhodes would sound like through the 15" speakers that use to come with them

     

    i I hope I'm making sense and appreciate your help

    Since you're working with a synth sound and not a sampled sound, that concern is mute.  Depends on what the sound programmer did.  I'd assume they're all direct, in this case, since you can add an amp model to it and get very accurate results.  I'd say you're over thinking it, and should let your ears tell you what it needs, when mixing.
