![]() ![]() First, we need to define the pitch & velocity range - this will in turn decide how many steps the keyzone is divided into. Let’s begin by launching the plugin renderer by right-clicking on the plugin in the instrument list. Heading into the instrument list in the upper-right corner of Renoise, you can choose to load the plugin from the list of plugins right underneath (Instrument Properties), or by means of the plugin tab (Plugin). ![]() Once you have installed the plugin (and possibly, rescanned for new plugins in Renoise), Pianoteq should be ready for use. You can download the free demo of Pianoteq here. It specializes in recreating the sound of both modern and historical pianos, but also comes with various percussion instruments installed. Pianoteq is a great plugin for creating faithful emulations of a number of different instruments. The Pianoteq plugin lookin’ sweet in Electric Piano mode As the most suitable candidate for rendering our samples, I have chosen a plugin called Pianoteq. The plugin renderer allows you to "freeze" the output of a plugin, creating a sample-based version at the push of a button. Rather, I would like to showcase a really cool feature of Renoise - the plugin renderer. Of course, we could choose to sample a real-life Fender Rhodes, but I personally don’t have one standing in the corner of my living room (I’m sure someone reading this does, though). Since this is going to be a sample-based instrument, the first thing we need to decide upon is a good sound source. This is by definition something we can emulate pretty well in Renoise, using minimal resources.īefore we go through the steps of creating the actual instrument, let’s hear a quick sample of what the finished instrument might sound like (the link will open in a new window/tab):Įlectric Piano demo (Doors - Riders On the Storm) Step 1: Samples! - our basic building blocks Unlike the electric organ, which we covered in the last chapter, the electric piano responds to how hard you strike it - the tone becomes stronger and fuller, but still with a consistent tone. Essentially, you could describe the electric piano as a cross between the piano and electric guitar. In these instruments, the sound is not created electronically, but rather by a hammer striking a string or pitch-fork like apparatus, with a built-in pickup system amplifying that signal. Famous models like the Fender Rhodes (the one that started it all), and later models such as the Wurlitzer and Hohner are recognized all over the world, by musicians of all ages and spanning all genres. The electric piano - and its cousin, the electric clavinet - are truly some of the classic instruments of the 20th century.
