“I love this Keyscape. If anyone wants to recreate my piano sounds, a preset called Double Felt Grand, a little reverb, rolled off the low end”

Keyscape's Double Felt Grand preset is his go-to piano sound, used on Wandering Mount Moon with reverb and a low-end roll-off.

“I think that's a fake piano. I think that's Keyscape. That's not a real piano, is it?”

“really quick like that, I was just choosing presets on Omnisphere... It's called Swaggering Around. It's a bass sound on Omnisphere”

“it's like a sort of Omnisphere piano-y instrument, but when you've gone way out of range... all you hear is this clack”

The 'Brickles' texture opening Cinnamon Crush comes from playing an Omnisphere piano patch far out of its range so only the key noise sounds.

“This first one, I think it's an Omnisphere patch. It may have even just been a preset... I think it's just a little Omnisphere arp.”

Hidden filler layers in 'Is There Really No Happiness?' are Omnisphere patches and arps, often straight presets, used to build a wall of sound.

“It's nothing you can physically grab because it's a plugin, but Keyscape for me was amazing... the piano sounds are amazing.”

Keyscape was Mike's desert-island tool for the album, used for writing on the road and for much of the piano/keys sound on 'There Goes My Cool'.

Keyscape's Rhodes piano bass patch was layered over the real bass on Moonshine for grit.
