Hello everyone,

As mentioned, I am really in love with the simplicity and softness of this sound and I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so full.



It sounds like an electric piano but something in it makes me feel it comes from a synth and not from samples.
I would recreate it with some kind of sine waves but there is some "bell-ish" quality to it that might come from FM synthesis.
Of course also effects play a part, I can also hear some saturation especially on the high notes.

Any help would be great!
Thank you.

Hey guys Ive been very absent lately.
Just swamped with thing for another few weeks.

The start of the midi and a Vital preset.
KY - Catching Flies - Opals.zip
It's almost there but there's a slight natural sounding attack to is that I believe is sampled and could be obtained and mixed on a separate layer but the rest is pretty damn close.
