Looking for Lady Madonna Patch for NE 5D

Post by sgcustom02 »

The Honky Tonk Factory sound just doesn't cut it .. and my understanding is that you cannot layer pianos on the NE5.

Does anyone have something close?

BTW, I had a Yamaha CP30 back in the late 70's/80's ... I would detune the left and right sides just a bit in opposite directions ... It sounded perfect :thumbup:

I think you should try one of the uprights in the Nord piano library. A Steinway upright ( pic) was used on the record. The key is lots of
compression on the recording...as opposed to using a detuning or honky-tonk patch.

There is also a Bluthner upright in the user -submitted patch list on this forum...#653 courtesy of Leo Castro. It is the "Let it Be" piano and might work for you.

Cheers and good luck

Hi. I play in a Beatles cover band. I'm using Nord upright pianos Small version and they work nice in the first 15 seconds of Lady Madonna. After that , entering drums guitar and voices you can play ANY piano sound and no-one will notice the difference :-D :-D

OK, Here's what you do:

Use the Black Upright (Large). Choose Long Release and Setting 3 on the Keyboard Touch. I like to put the sound in Mono mode. Set your Equalizer as follows: Bass at -6.8db Mid is +4db at 3.5kHz Treble at +1.7db. Then turn on the Compressor Effect and set it at 6.9. Add just a touch of Soft Stage Reverb, say 2.6.

I think you'll agree that this sounds pretty close to the record. Good Luck!
