Warming up the sound.

Post by ZeroZero »

Confession I have a stage 4 and an Electro 6d. This is about organ sounds though.

I find the upper octaves on the Nords a bit to crisp and sharp, digitally. Example, I have been playing Whiter Shade of Pale with a band, When I get to those big descending triads after teh tune, they come out too loud and too harsh, the don't have that worship effect of an analogue organ. (IMO)

I tried real hard getting the settings right for this song I saw the original stops, I watched Mr Keys on Utube, who does an excellent job and mostly used these settings- ish. The me;lody sounds pretty good but the big chords make my ears want to go "when will this stop!" They are not warm enough.

Any tips on warming all this up? In fact warming up digitals per se?

thank you all

This question has been asked and answered several times here, so I'd suggest doing a little digging? NS4 or NE6?

On the NS4:
- go easy on the high drawbars
- use speaker sims
- use the master EQ adjustment
- use the leslie and power amp drive adjustment
- stay in your (range) lane
I think I have gear issues ....

Well, you should first please define "warm"... it is so subjective :crazy: , then of course a digital clone is a digital emulation and as such more or less a compromise, but for example if you pass a clone through a real Leslie (or some other analog outboard like a valve Preamp) you will for sure make it "warmer" and closer to the original, the alternative are the good suggestions of the above post by cphollis
