Tone Profile
A funky, percussive electric piano sound with a subtle phasing effect, reminiscent of late 70s disco and funk.
Signal Chain
Instrument: Fender Rhodes or Wurlitzer 200A (likely software emulation, e.g., Spectrasonics Keyscape or Logic Pro Vintage Electric Piano)
Amp: Direct Input (DI) or Clean Amp Emulation (e.g., Fender Twin Reverb simulation)
Processing: Phaser (e.g., MXR Phase 90 emulation), Compressor (e.g., LA-2A or 1176 style emulation), EQ (subtle cuts in low-mids, slight high boost), Short Reverb (Plate or Room)
Other: Played with tight, staccato chord voicings common in funk.
Recording Notes
- Likely created using a high-quality software electric piano instrument.
- The phaser effect is key to the sound's movement and character.
- Compression is used to control dynamics and add punch.
- The sound is relatively clean, without heavy distortion.
- EQ helps the keyboard sit well in the dense mix.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Rhodes or Wurlitzer patch.
- Use a slow to moderate phaser speed.
- Apply compression for dynamic consistency and attack.
- Keep the tone bright but avoid harshness.
- Focus on rhythmic accuracy and funk chord voicings.
- Use a short, subtle reverb for space.
