Vibrato to wheel - why not?

The more I tweak my NLA1, the more I love it! :D

Re: NLA1 patch; Syncronicity EPILOGUE

Postby Marlowes » 05 Feb 2015, 23:07

Hej!

NL2X & discoDSP Discovery?

I spent an hour trying to create a similar patch on the NL2X ... but no ... I did not succeed - it can't match the sweetness of the NLA1:
(Elektromin/Anders and Ricard: what is always wrong with my NL2X approach?)

I also spent more than an hour giving the Discovery a chance ... layering two slots ... settings shown below ... but the result was so depressing that I made no recording:

The chorus on the NLA1 is very characteristic and would be hard to emulate. I think it was modelled on the chorus from a specific vintage synth. One would think that it would be possible to get reasonably close on the NL 2X though. I'll have to have a go at it (still owe you that acoustic piano patch I was talking about last weak!). It would also be interesting to see how the Blofeld would fare in this comparison.

As for the discoDSP softsynth, whoa, they really wanted it to look like the Nord didn't they!

I wonder how well it would work on the Tyrell N6

http://www.u-he.com/cms/tyrelln6

which I haven't tried myself but I've read that many people are very pleased with when it comes to its sound. Plus it's free.

Micke, the mp3 from NL2X sounds distorted, how about skipping that Line6 pod on this one?

Thanks, Anders!

I'll make a new one tonight! :idea:

You're probably right, as always.

Hej!

I removed the Pod from the NL2X. No major difference? :?


But I think the discoDSP sounded better tonight after a reset:

This is my attempt on the NL2. (Sorry about the sloppy playing.)

The NLA1 has more depth to it but of course it has a chorus too. Still I find the NL2 sounds pretty ok considering it doesn't have an effects unit.

EDIT: Added another clip which probably suits this sound more. (Sorry again for the sloppy playing)
