My first post ever - let me know what you think!

Here is my program for “Fix You” by Coldplay for the NS4.

Some instructions:

• Start with the Wheel all the way down

• At the Second verse, introduce Cathedral Organ by moving up the Wheel. I turn it up about 3/4, but it's up to you.

• At the Chorus: “Lights will guide..” Press the Layer Scene II button to introduce Piano and Strings.

• At the last part (extro): Disable Organ Section and Synth Section, so that only Piano remains.

Nice

awesome, thanks

thank you edgar,

for your work (sound and the usage of the sounds).

This famous song is often discussed here in this forum - so you can find various versions in other sub-forums: viewtopic.php?p=129447&hilit=Coldplay+Fix+You#p129447 , but everyone who creates a sound hears antoher detail (which others might not hear or recognize) - so you can even learn from every posted sound...

If you listen closely to the studio version you can hear a slight changing in the organ sound (and a little "dirt") which is typical for a real hammond. So instead of using the stop-mode and the cathedral organ you can use a drawbar-setting for the first part:
(7-4-8-2-4-4-2-0-0) and morph this with the wheel to (8-4-8-6-4-6-2-2-4); crank up the drive up to half and set the leslie to slow.

Then using a Yamaha-Piano (Studio Grand) like Mr. Martin and a little bit of string-sound... (I split the keyboard, to get the "only-piano-area" for the notes at the end of the chorus (Split-point at F4).

It's hard to hear if the organ is played at that area or an octave lower so I used a second organ-solt with the same settings only one octave higher... and for the lazy ones I utilize the tramspose-button (1 semitone up) so you can play it in D...

I will post my version in the next days.

Tim

so, here's my attempt...

Scene Layer I - 2 split
lower + middle zone: Hammond (morphable upper registers by wheel for second verse)
upper zone: Piano (after the chorus)

Scene Layer II - 2 split
lower + middle zone: Hammond
middle + upper zone: Piano + strings

Hope you like it.

Regards
Tim
