Is this just a FM piano with a little pad in?

Apart from the layered pads, It sounds typically like a Yamaha CP70 electro-acousatic piano ( you may know "duke" and "abacab" from Genesis during the early eighties ) There is a dedicated emulation, if needed :

AraldFX is proud to offer you the warm, classical and unique sound of this piano with an incredible sample player engine at an extremely low price!

Grand Electrix is a sample based virtual instrument. The samples are derived from the acclaimed Hollow Sun library "Definitive CP70".

Don't get me wrong but 79$ for a little sampler with chorus and freeware samples is a little bit high...

ok well,... i was just considering that it seemed identical

in this case, have a look to this, more generic :

But it was! It's no secret that Hollow Sun put many sounds into "Nostalgia" and deleted them from the free archive...

I personally don't like the CP70 sound. Yamaha's XG synths already have them as a basic, usable patch., and sounds almost alike to those, without the extra bells and whistles from mixing production.

What's the song called from that small clip?

As for the sound, yep that's a pad under the keys.

These samples never have been released for free, and GrandElectrix is not a small and cheap sample player. It's a dedicated and CPU wise playback engine with some particular algorithms to simulate many of the characteristics of the CP70.

The "chorus" is not just a plain chorus but it has been designed for this type of piano sound.
For example you can play the piano with the chorus turned on and get some presence and a nice and clean sound on the bass frequencies.

FM Piano or real? (with snippet)
