Patches for Electro 4

Postby Rocketdan7 » 17 Sep 2021, 15:01

Hi everyone, I'm new here and looking for help around loading patches onto my electro 4. I've heard you can find patches for specific songs (paying a friends wedding and have been given a varied mix of tunes to learn) and just load them onto the keyboard.

Is that possible and if so where do I find these patches?

Thanks

Sorry, not sure there are programs in ne4p format here in the forum...
I tried via the nordusersounds.com portal, but filtering on "Electro" only gave me samples.
But you can download nsmp samples from there or from the official Nord website (Archve v2 sample library).

Hi Rocketdan,

what if you post your setlist here or at least the most difficult songs (soundwise), given the chance that one or another could help with programs. I have an electro 5 - you won‘t be able to use a file of mine, but I could post fotos of the settings which would speed up your programming from scratch.

Cheers from Germany, and a very warm welcome to this wonderful forum full of nord enthusiasts.

If your keyboard will be the only instrument playing, either with or without singing, then what you will probably need most is a good acoustic piano sound, and a good electric piano sound (one of the Rhodes EP sounds). For standalone keys playing, I would go with the Nefertiti EP sound.
You might need to play with some of the settings, such as reverb or EQ.

If you have not already selected which Acoustic Piano sound to use, you should spend some time doing some tests ahead of time, using whatever amplification you will be using for the gig.

Well that's very kind! I've always just played acoustic pianos for 25 years, the word of synths seems like some sort of dark art to me - but a fun one I want to get into! Any help with the sounds I'll need to play this set list would be hugely appreciated. First 4 are due at practice next Sunday :shock:

Here is the set list:
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
David Bowie - Let's dance
Michael Jackson - Beat it
Mark Ronson, Bruno mars - Uptown funk

Dandy Warhols - Bohemian like you
Fleetwood mac - go your own way
Whitney Houston - I wanna dance with somebody
The waterboys - The whole of the moon
Weezer - Everybody wants to rule the world
INXS - Never tear us apart
Cher - If I could turn back time
Lionel Ritchie - Dancing on the ceiling
Taylor Swift - Shake it off
Bruce Springsteen - Born to run

Hi,

seems to be a tough challenge if you mean tomorrow by next Sunday. I‘m at a camp ground this weekend, no chance to get close to my nord. What I could contribute from here: If we take sledgehammer as an example, there is what I would call Shakuhaki from one of my early Rolands plus a fat horn section.

I found a Shaku sample here (thanks to Frantz)
nord-user-samples-nsmp-samples-f14/emulator-1-shakuhaki-t2655.html#p15349

I would search for horns here:
https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... rheim-ob-8
among the Moogs, Oberheims or Rolands

and do you know that a nordusersounds.com exists where you only need to register? Search, search, search there, even if you find files for nord stage 2 or 3 which you could look at to discover the settings here (thanks to Florence and Cookie and maybe others for this great tool):
https://ns3-program-viewer.herokuapp.com/

I hope that I could at least show you the route for the other songs. If next Sunday means next week‘s Sunday we‘d be better off.

Cheers for now from Germany

Hi,

Yes I mean next Sunday - the 26th. The wedding is not till June 2022 but we're a group of the groom's friends coming together from afar so practices will be limited between now and then - first one next Sunday.

That's great, thanks. I'll have a look at that this afternoon.

Danny

Hi Danny,

having had some deeper look at your songs I today dare a thought: for this kind of sounds I wouldn‘t have taken an electro 4 into account. What you‘d need was a multi-timbral keyboard like the korg kross or Roland fantom or Yamaha MO… You‘ll have to be able to play sounds like string pads and brass sections and wind effects all together which on an electro 4, being able to play one sound only at a time, is a no-show. Do you have an opportunity to play the wedding with another keyboard?

If you are stuck to the nord maybe here is another hope:

I keep on searching. Cheers from Germany

Ah I see - well that's a bit of a bummer! I will have the opportunity to use some other synths, though what they are yet I do not know. I'm visiting a studio which has several synths at the weekend so can see what they have. The only problem with that is I will not be able to practice with them.

I have just had a thought though - I have a friend who has several synths. Am I right in thinking that if he recorded his synths as wav files, then I could load them into the nord sample editor and then load those sounds onto my electro 4? I appreciate I would only be only be able to use one sound per time but it would be a start. Would that work?
