I’m really content with my NE5 but two weeks before i saw Jeff Young with his band in concert playing on his nord stage a wonderful layer sound with different pianos. Especially the combination for covering the old Dylansong „I shall be released“ was great (I think a combination of an acoustic piano with an EP4 MarkV?) and I thought what a s*** that I don’t have the money to buy a Stage.
To play a similar sound on my NE5 I made a Sample of the E-Piano4 Mark V to layer it with the intern acoustic piano and find a fuller and warmer and more floating sound like a pure piano.
The sample first didn’t convince me but cranking rather strong and unusual with the EQ (B:8 Freq:546 Gain: - 2,6 Tr: - 13,4/ only for the synth-part!!) and effects (a little bit vibe - eventually very less of Drive) and with the right balance between both pianos the result for me is not perfect but very satisfying. I choose the silver grand because it cuts through the mix in the trebles. I adjusted the balance so that with a soft attack you hear more of the epiano and with a strong attack more of the brilliance of the acoustic piano is audible. With the Sample you find a NE5-program-file with my adjustments.
The mp3- demo starts with the layer, 0:18 only silver grand, 0:28 only EP4 MarkV, 0:38 layer of both Has anyone of you nsmp- samples of E-pianos which are combinable with acoustic piano or clavinets of the Nord electro.
What’s your opinion? I would be thankful for tipps and improvements.
