Hey guys which piano and hammond drawbar settings are used in these tracks ? I love the sound but don't know how to get it. I've got an Electro 3. I know I can't split the keyboard, but that's ok - I will play them as separate sounds.

Thanks heaps in advance

Hi Drewa,
I was just about to write it down as if it would be for my nord electro 5 which is the first generation that can do keyboard splits, as I realized that yours is an electro 3 which I had before. The 3 cannot split its keyboard so you aren‘t able to combine sounds of different engines which is a pity for at least video 1. So sorry, not possible.
I‘m checking the song in video 2 later.

Hi,

I’m also interested in this for my Stage 3, especially the B3 settings ….

Thankyou for replying. It's ok - I still want to know the settings / piano - I will play them separately.

Can you help ?

As for the song in video 1 I‘d say the organ is all drawbars out, leslie fast, no or almost no distortion, and the piano is one of the brilliant, full ones such as the White Grand or the Bright Grand, sample size for your NE3 rather in L. The White XL would even be too large for your memory. No effects, just a little bit of „Stage“ reverb.

As for the piano intro in video 2 it sounds a bit detuned. Your NE3 can only achieve that with a detuned sample. There are two in nord‘s Upright Piano section: the HonkyTonk and the Saloon. The latter to me seems a bit too much out of tune, so I‘d start testing the HonkyTonk.

As for the synth part I need more time. Maybe other users could jump in?

There's no way it's all 8 out... I'd say it's rather close to an "uneven squabble", or "reversed smiley" shape with right side more pulled out than the bottom's (that is, top drawbars more out), but you can hear (and see) him pulling out a bit of the lower ones in the first seconds of the song. Difficult to tell the exact registration though, as it's probably not a squared one with either 8 or 0 and nothing in between, but rather one where you pull out a bit of everything in varying degrees...

EDIT: I was referring to the first video. I hear no Hammond nor piano at 0:45 of the second one you posted...

Okay, I‘ve just tried it over good speakers and would pull the left drawbar, the 16“, just half way out. The rest sounds good for me.
