Lost serenity | Rhodes piano and Access Virus KB instrumental improv @MIDERA

Uploaded October 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

What a week - but not really in a bad way, for once. Still waiting to hear back from my HVAC company from the stuff I've dealt with weeks ago. And back then, I was worried about my cat, who we learned had a UTI and didn't have advanced kidney disease, so we were able to go on a great vacation in our camper.

My kid passed level 3 swim and started level 4 (whatever that means, it's improvement either way). I'm teaching my other kid to read and she's almost done with the workbook. She's starting (on her own) to just write words, like lanch (lunch) and other words. It's really fun to watch.

Anyway, I've been away from writing music for a while. I have something else I've been working on, so I expect I'll not be in my studio as often. However, I did get something new that's on it's way, so it might change my time in the studio...

All sounds went through the Fractal Audio FM3

$Turning my Rhodes Piano into an ambient pad using a Fractal Audio FM3 I wanted to try something different. I put a filter in front of most other effects on the Fractal Audio FM3 (you use blocks and can place them in any order in your list of FX). I used an LP filter, with an input follower, so that as the sound comes in, theres a slow attack for the sound to come in and a slow release for the sound. In this way, I ended up making the Rhodes sound like a synthesizer pad. Maybe not something Id do all the time, but I did like how it came out. At the same time - I could play on top of it once the sound was in to give me two sort of sounds (1 pad and 1 electric piano). Let me know what you think. #rhodespiano #fractalaudiofm3$
