Electric Piano

A warm FM electric piano inspired by the Rhodes. A bright bell transient at the start of each note settles into a clean, sustained body, the classic electric-piano voice that sits well under melodies, chords and comping.

There are no settings. The Electric Piano plays with a fixed character. To shape it further, run the track through the effects on the effect strip, or pick a KiwiSynth keys preset when you want a patch you can edit.

How it sounds

The bell comes from FM synthesis, one oscillator modulating another. That bright, metallic attack is loudest at the start of the note and fades as the note rings, so short notes sound percussive and glassy while held notes settle into something rounder and warmer.

It works as a lead, bright enough to cut through a mix without turning harsh. It works for comping chords, because the natural decay keeps stacked chords from turning muddy. And it works as a soft pad if you hold long notes and let them blur together.
