Hey guys, doing a favor for a friend, wondering if anyone can ID this rhodes loop. It sounds mega familiar to me but I can't place it. Catalyst? Kenny Barron? Lonnie Liston Smith??

    Sounds a lot like the pre song riff from Bob James' All Around Town live LP before going into Angela....



    EDIT:

    I don't think it was sampled from a record...they have credits for a dude playing the Rhodes on the soundcloud for the track....

    hilarious considering the artist's own people reached out to me. I thought the way the loop is clipped - it's slightly off, if you listen closely - sounded clearly like a sample, especially with whatever effect is making it sound like a de-tuned SP1200.

    well, thank you for pointing out what was in plain sight!

    I recorded an emulator (cant remember the if it was a nord or another keyboard) a while back that used a plug in that was efficiently a noise gate that acted on how fast the key was hit, so if you pressed the key gently it would have no effect, but if you pressed the key fast/hard it would clip the sound which was meant to from memory emulate something to do with some old electric pianos that distorted/cut out when musicians went too hard on them. Might be something similar here?
