Tone Profile
A bright, funky electric piano sound with a pronounced attack and a slightly compressed, chorused character. It's clean but with a bit of vintage warmth and a slight percussive edge.
Production Credits
Producer: Jay Kay
Engineer: Stuart Zender
Recorded at: Chillington Studios
Signal Chain
Instrument: Rhodes Mark V
Processing: Roland Dimension D
Recording Notes
- The Rhodes was likely recorded direct, taking advantage of its built-in vibrato/chorus.
- The Dimension D provides a lush stereo widening effect without sounding overly processed.
- Compression would have likely been applied at the console level to even out the dynamics and give it a punchy feel.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Rhodes VST or sample library known for its clarity and bell-like tone.
- Use a chorus plugin, preferably one that emulates the Roland Dimension D, for subtle stereo enhancement and thickening.
- Apply a compressor with a medium attack and release to control the dynamics and add punch.
- A touch of EQ can help brighten the sound and bring out the percussive elements.
- Experiment with subtle overdrive or saturation for added warmth and character.
