Hey,
I really love Nils Frahm and im wondering what kind of instrument and effects he is using in the Track Prolog (Paris) in the first 4 minutes or so. Also Id love to recreate a similar sound with the NS4. Any ideas how to recreate that as a synth? It sounds so organic especially the attack an release phase.
Heres a link to the track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEVgugnbkik

It's a glass harmonica. One of the truly magical instruments in this world (celeste being another).
See it in action in the concert video:
Find a sample here: viewtopic.php?t=8164
Add shimmer reverb, and you should be a good ways there.

Hi katertobatz,
hi analogika,
the sample of the glass harmonica fits it - but as all (single-layered) samples in the Nord it's not playable very dynamically...
For this I suggest to dive into the synth-section: I have a very nice result with a 3-layer-synth-sound; all use the morphing-function assigned to aftertouch for changing the OSC-Waveform (or put a little drive in or reduce the treble ...); the wheel is used for morphing/fading in one of the synth-layers.
It should be just a starting point - feel free to tweak it to your own taste (add more expression with the pedal or something else...).
Hope you like it.
Cheers
Tim
