Someone may say that the sound of the piano is always the same. It can be dark, light, etc.
But, actually, there are many piano sounds. E.g. Grand Piano, Digital Piano, FM Piano, Ballad Piano, Pop piano etc.
I heard so many presets from VST instruments but I couldn't come across one that sounded similar to the one used in this track.
I even downloaded the Children midi file to have the original melodies while checking presets and with no luck.
So what can be the closest piano preset sounds like this one?

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_(composition)Synthmania.com, which identifies the song as being written on a Kurzweil K2000, calls this the "dream house piano" sound, consisting of "standard piano, syn bass and string/pad sounds bathed in delay and reverb".
Perhaps there's a Piano patch for NI Kontakt on Robert Miles' own Sampler Library?

A Yamaha Baby Grand Piano, or an imitation of this, with a bit of delay will get you in the right ballpark.
(Nobody is surely going to pick an argument over it??!)
I might be wrong, but I base this on the fact that Robert Miles was a classically-trained pianist and also the fact that some 'Children' covers / Yamaha Baby Grand piano videos on Youtube get the tone pretty much spot on.

My master keyboard is a Kurzweil SP5-8 Stage Piano. Patch 'Standard Piano' included. For use in my DAW I sampled this patch (NI Kontakt Full). Conversion in other formats no problem. I can upload via wetransfer.com if there's no legal issue.

Not aware of legal issues, but that would be great!Etienne1973 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 6:35 pm My master keyboard is a Kurzweil SP5-8 Stage Piano. Patch 'Standard Piano' included.

I once tried to recreate this sound and had some success with FM piano layered over acoustic piano.
