Recording Notes

• The Rhodes Chroma was heavily featured on Kid A, and the sound was likely achieved through a combination of the Chroma's built-in effects and external processing.
• The Roland Dimension D is used to create a wide, shimmering chorus effect, enhancing the spaciousness and movement of the piano.
• The detuned quality may be a result of slight variations in the Chroma's oscillators or additional modulation effects.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean Rhodes piano sound as your base.
• Apply a chorus effect with a subtle depth and rate to create a sense of movement.
• Experiment with detuning one of the oscillators of your synth to create a slightly unstable and warbling character.
• Use EQ to brighten the high frequencies and further enhance the shimmering quality.
• Consider adding a touch of reverb to create a sense of space and depth.
