Hello guys,

I'm kinda new to this world, so let me start by apologizing for what it might be for you a stupid request.

I'm trying to get a piano sound as featured in many Whitney Houston ballads, eg. I Have Nothing, The Greatest Love Of All, Run To You, but also many ballads of the 80's.

I've been suggested the Yamaha DX7 from Arturia but it seems it doesn't have anything "ready" and maybe, as for the Fender Rhodes, I'd be supposed to add effects plugins as chorus, delay, reverb, etc...

I was looking for some piano presets that have that sound style, but I really don't know how to get it or even where to look or what to purchase. Can you help me with that?

Thank you so much

Not a 100% sure but you may actually be looking for a digital unit, the MKS-20.

A lot of great music and sounds to be had, mks starts at 16 minutes in.

I think this is what you're looking for:

Look for a Dyno My Piano emulation. That’s what the producer used. Alone or layered with DX7.
Many paid and free VSTs as well as Kontakt libraries. As well as HW synths/drum machine and acoustic instruments.
