Make Ep9 sound like ”raw mk8”.

[Nille]

Hello,
First post here. Have electro 6D. Have anyone tried /come up with some settings to any of the EP:s, preferably Stockholm to make it sound like the “new” mk8 (eq, compression, drive). The way it seems to be setup (correct me if I’m wrong) is that there’s not much tine in the attack but there’s a nice high pitch release noise. Seems like also the setup for Rd stage 61 if you listen to the audio samples. It’s also kind of “creamy” sounding compared to the raw Stockholm ep, which is still nice of course.

Best Regards,
N

If we ignore the Name and just look for the Sound - did you try the Preset "O31"Gritty MKI?

[Nille]

No I haven’t, is it in the stock presets?

[M_a_c]

Yep... Patch Storage Place O-31 - at least in Rev. 2.66... Sounds to me like what you wrote...

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

As a happy owner of a MK8, I made a comparison some weeks ago with all Nord EPs, and it turned out that the EP8 Nefertiti is almost identically sounding as my MK8, at least when comparing single notes and chords. There is a noticeable difference still, when actually "playing"... the MK8 has nicer/rounder hi-mid / trebles... (purely subjective of course, and hard to describe with words)... and also better dynamics... but yeah... was still happy to be able to mimic my beloved MK8 on my NS4 for live/stage situations...

Nice, yeah i’ve been playing around with Nefertiti as well. Do you have any suggestions for frequencies to boost or cut to make it more like the mk8? The nefertiti I find by default more muddy/boomy and the mk8 by default (what I’ve heard) is more sweet/“creamy”:), like also the demos of the new Rhodes stage 61, that seems to sound a lot like the mk8.

Edit: actually got really close with Stockholm Ep. The preset was a bit bright/mid. But just using raw sample, cut some 200hz and just a tad treble. Though hard to get as much “bright release noise” without adding too much tine when playing the keys.
