What is this sound?

Hey guys, I am still pretty new to keyboards and I was just wondering if you could help me out with identifying this sound...

 

Its basically just like a piano kind of sound except softer and with a softer attack... like a piano or percussive intrument with the high end rolled off and a soft attack but I am not sure if it is something you could easily synthesize or if its a family of sounds that you can get easily as nice samples. If you guys get what I'm talking about maybe you could point me in the right direction... I really like this family of sounds.

 

If you listen to this song, the sound I am talking about comes in panned hard right around 2:05. It's a remix by the raging brothers of a song by a great guitarist named Justin King.

 

So Close.mp3

 

The same kind of sound plays a prominent role in a keane song although I dont know the name of the song. It seems pretty common. Thanks for any help!

Cool, thanks guys. I figured it would be an electric piano sound but for some reason the e piano patches on my getto soundbank that came with my keyboard sound nothing like it... probably because its ghetto I'm guessing.

 

Any idea what kind of software I would need to get a good sound of that going? All I really have is the software that came with my x board 49, sonar, and some random plug ins for sonar that don't have any sounds as far as I know.

For software, get the Mr Ray 2.2 and Mr Ray 73 from www.soundfonts.it

They use physical modelling, so no samples what so ever. I like them both a lot.

Best.
