About this sample

This sound is a smooth Dm7 Rhodes chord lasting 3 seconds, built from additive synthesis combining sine waves at the fundamental and low harmonics (146.83 Hz and its octaves), plus a bright high-frequency "tine" harmonic at eight times the fundamental frequency with a rapid decay. Each note is doubled with slight detuning for chorus and stereo width, with a 5 Hz tremolo panning the left and right channels in opposite phases for classic Rhodes movement. A 2nd-order low-pass filter at 1.8 kHz softens the high end, and gentle tanh saturation adds analog warmth, while the chord decays smoothly with a percussive envelope.

This chord hit fits deep house and smooth electronic genres around moderate tempos where a warm, textured Rhodes timbre is desired. Use it as a lush harmonic stab or background texture, layering with pads or bass but watch for frequency masking in the low mids. Its stereo motion and gentle saturation make it blend well with clean mixes while adding subtle character.
