Hi there,

is there anyone who can make the sound of the song: "This is what it feels like" by Armin van Buuren?


Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Ruben

Hi Ruben,

My NS2EX is in my car currently, but I would try the following:

- Mellow Upright
- Dynamic set to most sensitive (2 or 3)
- Compressor on and fully in
- some slight distortion

Give it a try

Cheers,

Eumel

Thank you Eumel! I will try this. I'll let you know

Hello Ruben,

The effect they use is called a bitcrusher. If you have a DAW, you could use the effect on a piano sound. Tweak it and sample it.
A free bitcrusher I like is Krush (Windows/Mac).

Hi guys, I have tried many options, but it doesn't seem to work... :S

Is someone willing to give it a try for me?

• ThisIsWhatItFeelsLike.mp3

I've given this just a quick try, using a preset pianosound from Ableton, a downloaded midifile and beforementioned Krush plugin.
Haven't been able to test the sample, because I don't have my Electro here at the moment. If you think it is total rubbish ans it doesn't sound good at all when you use it in your Nord, I will delete the sample.
As I listened to the mp3 I noticed that it has a lot of treble, so, reducing that in the eq section would be advisable. And play around with release time.

Please give it a try and comment.
