Hey all,

Anyone know if there's any sample or setting to get hammer/pedal sounds out of the NE5 pianos? Just looking for that more authentic sound.


Thanks!

I'm afraid there aren't any adjustments or settings available on the NE5 for those.

Has anyone made a patch that has this kind of sound?

Thanks!

Technically layering a sample is possible but I think this cannot give a nice result.
Indeed the patch costs something like 1000 $, its name is "Stage 2" or "Piano 2", and the pedal noise feature requires a Nord triple pedal.

The pianos from the Nord Piano library cannot be changed, and users cannot make their own sounds to put in the Piano section.

ArfNtz is right, you would need to change to a Nord instrument that can use the Triple Pedal, which adds dynamic Pedal Noise. However, there is nothing to add hammer noise. Your best bet here would be to try different piano sounds to see if there is one that has more hammer noise than the others. You could also try EQ-ing your piano sound to try and "bring out" any existing hammer noise.

You could mic a piano and slam your foot on the pedal and record that noise and map it to a note, perhaps even use a foot pedal to trigger it...

Someone sampled and posted (in the Samples section of this site) a Rhodes key click - mapped across the entire keyboard - that layers nicely with the built-in Electro E. Piano sounds. Same idea, really -- good one, Pablo!
