setting for Nord Stage2

[miles49]

I'm supposed to play a song called "Forever" by Kari Jobe this coming weekend. Pretty straight forward, but I want to try and match the sound of the recording. Since I don't actually own the Nord Stage2, my time on it is limited to a rehearsal right before I am to "go live". I would love to figure this out myself, but again - time on the keyboard is prohibited (saving my pennies to purchase one someday....).

I'm just interested in matching the sound in the first 40 seconds of this youtube video:



It sounds as if there is some amount of chime, almost bell-like to the tone quality. If someone is going to tell me that it is just a straight grand piano, then I'll take my lumps and chalk it up to me just "hearing things that aren't there".

Thx!

That's just some pretty harsh EQ at the top end, and a compressor just slamming it.

So on the nord stage, take a basic (maybe upright) piano patch, at the right hand side of the panel, set the equalizer to "piano", boost the highs, and at the very top right, switch on the compressor and turn it up until you get that artificial smashed sound, and add some reverb.

That should get you fairly close in about twenty seconds.

Thanks. Appreciate it!
