Keyboard sounds by genre

41 sound recipes from Piano Effect's library: which timbre to use, which effects with which values, and which sound to pick on a Roland JUNO-DS.

They are hand-made starting points based on what the keyboard usually carries in each style, not measurements of a specific recording. To measure a song, scan it with the app.
