I think the song The Shape I'm In is also a Clavinet, but it may also be a Pianet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the song The Shape I'm In is also a Clavinet, but it may also be a Pianet. OK, still a keyboard though. Take another listen to The Shape I'm In, there is also most definately an organ cooking along on that one. 😁 Garth takes the first solo on an organ and does some call and answer with Robbie on the second solo, also more organ soloing. It's not a Hammond and nobody else plays like Garth, he had a unique style. 1 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

o0Ampy0o Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 During a certain period Tony Banks uniquely colored his RMI 368x Electra piano sound using an MXR Phase 100. Phil Collins as a soloist gave a significant nod to the Prophet 5. Gregg Rolie on Hammond is as much a part of Santana's trademark sound as his vocals and Carlos's classy playing style.

funkyhammond Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Trying to think if I can come up with something that hasn't already been mentioned. This isn't a single sound, but when I think of creative manipulation of sampling, I think of Art of Noise and their Fairlight CMI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KuruPrionz Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Keyboard solo in In My Life by the Beatles. Sir George Martin played it, he could not play that swiftly so the tape was slowed down during recording. It has a "harpsichord-ish" sound but it isn't a harpsichord. It is iconic. https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/which-beatle-played-the-tricky-keyboard-solo-on-in-my-life.html/ 1 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.
