crestingwaves Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Does anyone know how to get that phaser-like effect on the piano in Moving to Mars (around 1:19)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 i am sure there is no effect on the piano if you mean around 1:39, that is rather noth the piano. may be guitar (i think...) or another synth sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 It might be synth, but then again Coldplay likes to try to use new concepts and it might be guitar...I think you can get the sound if you have a keyboard with some filters and distorters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I don't know *how* to get it, but I'm sure that's the sound of playing the sound of a piano reversed. I can imagine you can record a note or chord, use a programme to reverse the audio, then convert it to a MIDI sort of file and have an electric keyboard play it. Or perhaps there's a keyboard that has a particular voice that sounds like that noise? I don't have a keyboard of my own to try this though, so good luck with that!

PianoRocker Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I've slowed it down and there is nothing going on with the piano, it's a afterwards added effect of what I believe inverted strings. If u slow it down you can actually hear the piano making a fast strum downwards. And you can hear that the effect is something else. It can be a reverst VSTi instrument or actual recording of an guitar or anything else. It shouldn't be hard to recreate the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyM218 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sounds like a normal piano to me. Might be drifting more towards the honky-tonk piano when the song really picks up, but during the quiet part it sounds normal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 i'd still say it's a bloody guitar xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry I should have worded the question better. I'm not so concerned with "how" to get the sound, rather "what" it is ;) Thanks for your help!

Yeah, it reminded me a lot of Don't Panic's effects. I'll muck around at home (I have a DD7) and see what I can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
