it starts at 0:39 and 1:52 (you can hear it by itself)

It's a very bright, hard sound. You can get close with the stock M50 pianos by opening the filter up and playing hard. Some EQ will also help - try boosting the top and dipping in the lower mids. Depending on the mix, some compression will also help.

The stock M50 pianos on their own are pretty thick (sometimes muddy), so you might feel that you're fighting an uphill battle to get that sound. I've got a pack of pianos that tend towards a brighter, clearer sound. Check them out here if you're interested.
