As soon as you make the sample playback respond to touch more sensitively and realistically, and tone down the cutting top end to something more natural, you lose your house piano.ĭebates will persist as to which exact keyboards offer the best house piano sounds, and of course what makes the search harder is that none of the real period presets were actually called “House Piano”. To clarify, the main personality of the house piano sound comes from insensitive sample playback and the slightly overbright reproduction which became trendy in the ’80s as keyboardists sought to cut through the mix. The envelope can also be edited to speed up the decay and release time a little, for a sharper, more percussive feel.

Other characteristics may include a mix of more than one piano sample, added mild chorus to help fill in for the hollow-ish midrange, and sometimes, if the user didn’t fancy editing (or couldn’t edit) the velocity sensitivity, some compression to even out the dynamics.Reduced dynamic response (velocity sensitivity) so the volume is more even, the clanking treble doesn’t diminish, and the general personality is more relentlessly in-ya-face than with a real piano.Fairly ‘hollow’ midrange with a typical reticence or moderation in the 800Hz to 2KHz region of the frequency spectrum.Strong, well-defined, but slightly clanky and overbright top-end bite.The main characteristics of a house piano sound are as follows… Black Box sent the “house piano” concept stratospheric with their controversial but undeniably brilliant track Ride On Time. Above: Okay, so she didn’t play the keyboards, and she wasn’t even the real singer, but I figured most of you would rather see some 1989 pics of glamorous pin-up and face of Black Box, Katrin Quinol, than a boring old Korg M1.
