Will try to figure out what they are later 😀 So, after the first few straight-forward chords: Gbmaj7(add 9) Ebm7/11 Abm7/9/11 Db7b9 Bbm7 Ebm7 What you use then as short passing chords is pretty nice and I believe is: E(add9)/G# Ebm7/9/Gb B(add9)/D# Emaj7 (those are slash chords but not sure how to write them down with letters and I’m on my phone and can’t notate…) Correct? 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmerJFudd Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 It’s definitely been dyno’d, yes? Bell like, I hear klang which makes me think it’s sampled and not a model. Is it a Gospel Musician’s library from Neo Soul Keys? 1 Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a Gospel Musicians library from Neo Soul Keys? Definitely has the tine-y sound, if it's a synth it's a Lounge Lizard/Arturia Stage model synth (though I think it's sampled). I was actually wondering about GM, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberGene Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 As to the sound, this is definitely not FM, it’s not a DX7. It’s probably a Rhodes that’s either originally dynoed or is a regular Rhodes that’s been EQ-ed to sound that bright. With that in mind it can literally be any keyboard or library with Rhodes. And of course there’s the typical chorus which made people think it’s the DX7 because that FM-piano sound was usually topped with chorus 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzpiano88 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 His clue is that the reveal will be surprising to us. That tells me it’s not PCM (clue after I’d guessed Motif).

So, quite possible for it to be GB 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyRude Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 reminds me of a joint near where I grew up called “The Hot Dog”. Ironically, they had the best burgers in town. Another vote for Garage Band, only because it’s supposed to be a surprise. Or maybe a Hammond SK? 1 Quote Some music I've recorded and played over the years with a few different bands Tommy Rude Soundcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ears! Btw, there was a LONG thread from a while back on those slash chords. The "mu" chord seems to be a common tongue-in-cheek way to name them among the more cultured players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AROIOS Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Time for the reveal. Drumroll.... it's from Roland's 20-year old, largely neglected HQ Super Quartet. https://www.kvraudio.com/product/superquartet-by-edirol Considering this is only 1 out of the 70 programs from a 34MB ROM, Roland did a pretty good job there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the end result sound hardly any better. 😆 With my crude MIDI programming skills, it looks like we'll at least need some round-robin single-hit or an actual drumroll sample to make it sound convincing.
