Members goldphinga Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thought id make this specially for my fellow KSS'ers whilst i had it on load for my upcoming Future Music review- hope you like it. This first part shows clavs, pianos, cp80, strings. Part 2 to follow later today shows the organ..i forgot the rhodes and wurlies in this vid as i got carried away playing and had to give it back shortly after but ive got them in my stage compact so i can make a vid of those too soon...

Members b3keys Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Would love to hear the Rhodes and Wurlies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrhudson Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sounds awesome! Man, this is getting very tempting to buy........How did you find the action on the NE3? Are there any limitations to the various effects, amp sims, etc., that you wish the board did not have? You can control the wah with a pedal right - say one wanted to control the wah with one foot and the gain/distortion with the other - you could make that happen here, right? Very tempting......

Members Mitch Towne Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Dan, First of all, killer playing! I would love to pick your brain about some of the concepts you are using during the piano solo section. Secondly, have you had any issues like the ones I mentioned about being able to smoothly play piano sounds and soft and medium soft volumes?

Members goldphinga Posted February 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey guys, thanks for the props..really appreciate it. Let me try answer you questions.. First off ill make some Stage Compact vids with Rhodes and Wurly's for you all Secondly, i really like the action on my stage compact and it feels pretty much identical on the NE3 though the compact feels slightly more spongey as it has the aftertouch strip under the keys to cushion the downstroke more.. Otherwise i really love this action, i find it very playable even for pianos and i got used to it pretty quickly. One thing to note with this particular waterfall keybed is that when new its a little on the stiff side and it may take a while to get used to-it certainly loosens up with more playing for sure so hang fire with it if you find its a bit stiff at first. As for the effects, you could control the wah with your foot but as theres only one foot control socket youd have to tweak the gain/distortion by hand.I find the effects great on the whole though i wish it had an amount and a rate control like the stage and its also missing the stages delay.. other than that its a fine piece of kit. hope this helps.. trying to get my hands on a Rhodes Mark 7 at the mo... cheers guys all the best Dan ps Mitch ill email you later on... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrhudson Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks - If you're going to share "the concepts" behind the soloing, start a thread - would be curious to hear how you conceptualize/approach those tonal halftone shifts as well (it could be as simple as "Bflat/Eflat just sounds good"!).

Members mrhudson Posted February 26, 2009 Members Share Posted February 26, 2009 So, absent the amount dials on the effects, what is the "default amount" setting - full-on, 50%, etc..? Can the effect amount be customized/adjusted "behind the scenes" (up or down in presets), even if not available for real time control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i recall, wherever you leave the control is where it stays until you move off that patch... you can save it on a per patch basis too...

Members niacin2.0 Posted February 27, 2009 Members Share Posted February 27, 2009 sweet Mind you with chops like that you could be selling Casios and I'd still be queuing up. had a look at some of the other stuff you've posted on youtube. Thoughts on the Electro rhodes given you're used to the real thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michoo Posted March 1, 2009 Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hmmm... Great! One question: how and how much i have to practise, to play with so ease? When I see videos like this, i'm getting depression :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vwizz Posted March 1, 2009 Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 HI Dan, always such a pleasure to hear you jam like that! Just great!!!By the way, your album kicks ass! Pure positive energy man! Thanks and keep on grooving!!! V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members memphis Posted March 1, 2009 Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 Am I alone in noticing the lack of demos of the Vox and Farfisa sounds, or are they just not that good or something? I play in a sort of garage rock revival outfit (the bulletproof vests) and I play the NE2, so I'm limited to hammond sounds. I really want the 3 for the added Vox and Farf models, but don't want to go to the trouble or expense if they're not up to snuff. Would it kill someone to just play the riff from 96 Tears in their Stage or NE3 demos?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goldphinga Posted March 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hey guys, thanks so much for all the nice feedback, really glad you like em! Im gonna make some more videos for you of all my boards coming up, the first im gonna make is a demo of the Nord Stage Compact's Rhodes, Wurly and Farfisa/Vox emulations (these are all the same as the NE3). Its gonna take me a bit of time as im mixing down my new JD73 album 'SuperSexy' over the next 2 weeks but i hope to get the above done at least. The other videos im gonna make over the next while are: Moog LP MemoryMoog Plus Hammond B3 plus Leslie 122 Moog Voyager +moogerfooger pedals Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard Moog Source Solina String Ensemble Clavinet D6 Rhodes Suitcase 73 Korg MS20 Yamaha U1 piano Yamaha DX100 Korg MicroKorg/Vocoder Cheers again guys, love being part of this community If you have any requests or questions please PM me or ask me a question on here Dan ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members memphis Posted March 1, 2009 Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 thanks Goldphinga. I forgot to mention in my first reply how much I loved the demos you posted. I especially liked the string sections. It's sad that I've barely had my NE2 and have such strong GAS for the NE3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nillerbabs Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 Nice review, though overall very positive. I missed that one drawback that I personally find really annoying - the patch navigation system. Y'know, those 64 banks with 2 patches in each... I'd like to ask a simple question: "why?". I really don't understand. It makes the instrument harder to use, I think. Apart from that little annoyance, it's grrrrreat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
