West Coast Piano

[Hi-Lo]

Quick question...the piano sound Scott storch uses on this new game song, "Let's Ride", is a real similar sound to what Dre's been using for years. Does anyone know what piano that comes from and if there are Reason patches out there that come pretty close to the sound? Or how to tune a rhodes to sound like that? Thanks...

dude really all you need is a bright piano with a little bit of muffle and reverb and make the chord notes strummed instead of all lined up ya mean. Go in piano roll and step the notes so theyre not all on top of each other. This will give the piano that strummed type of feel like "still dre" or "lets ride".

word.

In the west... we do them Repetitive chords (kinda like still dre i guess), and tree basically hit it all on the nose.. reverb, give it some body. sometimes fuck wit telephone filters n shit. etc.

i'm pretty sure that west coast piano type sound is from a yamaha cs80 or whatever it's called. it's the piano sound from still dre.

 

[open mind]

its probably layerd with a lil harp.
