Recording Notes

• The piano sound was achieved using a Yamaha CP-70 electric grand piano, known for its bright and percussive tone.
• A Roland Dimension D chorus unit was used to add width and a subtle swirling effect.
• Compression, likely from a Urei 1176 or similar, helped to even out the dynamics and give the piano a punchy, upfront character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bright-sounding electric piano, ideally a Yamaha CP-70 or a similar model.
• Apply a subtle chorus effect using a Roland Dimension D plugin or similar chorus unit.
• Use a compressor to even out the dynamics and add punch. Experiment with medium attack and release times.
• EQ the piano to further brighten the sound, focusing on the high frequencies.
