Don't Let Me Down/Beatles sound

Post by cs1997 »

Hi guys,

Seen a post with a patch for NS2 that unfortunately won't work on my electro 6. Does anybody have a patch or settings to share for Beatles - Don't Let Me Down? I might be being daft, I'm pretty sure it's a Rhodes but I can't quite get it right. Any help greatly appreciated :)

Hi,

there is a program called Nord file viewer available (see the link in my signature) which lets you load the NS2 program and display all of its settings. By this you may try to re-create it on your Electro as close as possible.

Hopefully you'll forgive my absurdly late reply. I cannot stress enough how helpful that website has been since getting my Electro and new Stage 3! Thank you sir!!

Sounds like a Whurlitzer with a lot of reverb, especially if you listen the version of the tune from Beatles "Let It Be Naked" that was a remix. Many didn't like the Phil Spector mix of the original Let It Be so the Naked remix was done later. Nord's Whurlitzer sample to me leaves a lot to be desired but they will give you a place to start.

If you use a rhodes and run it rhough a twin amp to give it some crunch, you can adjust the level and patch until you get the right sound out of it

Use the Sparkle Top Vintage '67 Rhodes which is what Billy Preston is playing on the Rooftop.
He's using a Suitcase Model with built-in speakers so use some Twin style Amp modeling, play with the EQ a lot, add a slight Delay and some open sounding Reverb.
Make sure your play the part just the way Billy did and good luck!
