Anybody knows how she does it? Songs like Cellophane and Home With You are so heavily driven by their piano pieces, and they both just have such unique tones. Anybody have any ideas?

    Not sure, but check out the instrument labeled “modular piano” near the bottom of this list. The demo sounds kind of like her piano sound on Cellophane.

      If I had to guess, it’s somehow grabbing only the attack of the piano and putting a loud but short delay on it that stops after the third attack (original attack plus two delay attacks).

        Just listened to home with you… the weirdest piano sound I heard seemed to have an eq that pulls out some frequencies and then has a medium-size room reverb which naturally decays, but then rapidly automates the wet/dry mix (or the gain of the decay channel) so the reverb quickly gets louder and softer while it slowly decays.
