Sympathetic resonance of the strings would be vital (Rings' Sympathetic Strings mode is a good start), and if you really want to experiment, it might be worthwhile having the hammered string model, sympathetic strings model, and body resonance all as separate modules, so that you could mix them up and insert treated audio in between. As others have mentioned, physical modelling would seem the obvious approach, though some combination of additive synthesis and resonators could be good. More avant-garde approaches that invite you to manipulate the timbral and dynamic qualities of the sound. For these use cases, it looks like General CV has got you covered.

For this, the sounds needn't be 100% convincing as an acoustic piano, so why not include Rhodes, harpsichords, organs, strings etc? It would also make sense to have a way of specifying chords parametrically (root plus quality & inversions) rather than as individual CV and gate for each note. I can imagine banging out M1 piano chords in an early 90s house style, or a slow sequence of jazzy electric piano chords that you could then distort, filter, chop up and generally manipulate to make glitchy downbeat, drum 'n bass, ambient etc. Generally simple sequences of block chords. If you want piano played in the way a pianist would, whether that be Rachmaninoff or Thelonius Monk or Tori Amos, then a piano roll sequencer on a large screen or a keyboard and decades of practice are your best bet.įor piano played in a non-pianist's way, I can think of two main approaches that might be interesting in Euro: You can stumble across some interesting an unusual harmonic structures that way, but my personal impression is that these sound more interesting when you're constructing the sounds from VCOs etc and can thus blur the distinctions between harmony and timbre, rather than using recognisable pseudo-acoustic sounds. I've made chords in Euro with several different methods, and sequencing convincing chord progressions has always been the most tedious and unrewarding part. However, I generally agree with most of the comments suggesting that a dedicated piano module would be unlikely to succeed in Euro, largely because of the difficulties in sequencing it in an idiomatic way with typical Euro sequencers. I could probably never reproduce it if I tried, but that sort of patch, or Rings with the right input source and modulation, can produce some evocative pseudo-acoustic stringed instrument sounds that work very nicely in a modular context. I've sometimes been surprised by some unnervingly realistic piano-like sounds coming out of wavetable VCOs through a filter.
