Lead A1: Electric Piano sound possible?

Post by haurein »

Is it possible to create something like an electric piano sound with the Nord Lead A1?

In this video the sound is in this direction:



The Lead A1 has two electric piano waveforms and simple FM. So it could work?

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Isn't it already answered through the video? (nice video BTW) This is 'something like an electric piano'.

Could you explain a bit more?

My phantasy goes this: That guy doesn't have a Nord but is interested in one. He wants more of a synth than a Wave 2 or a Stage 3 can give. But he wants an impressing electrical piano at the same time. Funny approach in my eyes, but maybe exactly what he wants.

It's possible to create piano-like patches. They won't sound exactly like a piano, but something nearby.

Found your name in a German forum searching for a lightweight EP (< 11 kg/25 lb). Is it this what you are after? Why not explain what you want?

in that video, he's using a bell waveform. the A1 also has "wurlitzer" and "rhodes" type digital waveforms (E1 and E2,) which you can use to make electric piano type sounds.
