First Rhodes factory preset

[Arni61]

Hello, I am a Nord stage 4 user and have a question for the Electro 6D users.
One of the first electric piano (Rhodes) sounds is located on program positions A12 to A14. Can anyone tell me what this sound is called and which samples and effects are used? I would like to recreate this sound in my Nord Stage 4.

I have the NS4-73HA and the NE6D-61 in combination. I erased / changed it, but on NE6 A12 was the "Stockholm MK I". As it says, it´s the Stockholm EP and from my Notes, it´s done with some Tremolo in (and the Spitfire String Quintet 3.2 in the Synth-Section), but I didn´t note further Setting-Info. Set the NE6 to Factory-Settings would be some unwanted effort for me. Maybe someone has this Programm still in his NE6-Memory. If not, I could reset it the next weekend...

With that, I noted some other very remarkable NE6 Stockholm-EP-Variations in the NE6, that I rebuilt some somehow on the NS4, since I love this EP-Sample most: A12 Stockholm MK I; D42 Cool Vibe MK I; E12 BluesAMp MK I; F42 Fusion MK I; G12 Gnarly Wha MK I; G42 Bright Vibe MK I; H12 Spain MK I; H31 Stockholm Dyno; O31 Gritty MK I. There are some more, but I didn´t like them...

And remarkable does not only mean the interesting Sound itself, but also the quite good use / realisation for a authentic EP-Setting in the NE6 playable without the Hammer-Mec of a NS4. When on rehearsals just with the NE6-61, it gives me good feeling. Of course the NS4HA brings the adapted Setting to a higher Level...

Ok thanks. Does anyone have the factory preset A12 and can tell me the exact settings (EQ, effects and so on)? I want to recreate it on my Stage4. It sounds so fantastic. I assume that the Stage4 uses the same sample.

Would you be willing to provide your Stockholm replicas for the NS4? I also use the NS4 73. Is there a reason why you have an Electro6 in addition to your Stage4?

I may be wrong but, As the E6 was released around 2019 and the Stockhlm EP was released around 2023.
I would have thought the Nefertiti was more likely, But I may be wrong.

[M_a_c]

Well... I can only see, what was in my untouched NE6 bought last year 2024... And there the "Stockholm MK I" was on A12...
With the upcoming Firmware-Updates, the Stockholm has surely been included... Maybe there has been a other EP instead of the Stockholm in 2019... But in 2024 and withing the uptodsate Firmware, it is...

[Normski]

Yeah Mac that makes sense. If the current (2024) install has a newer EP. Then it may well be the Stockholm EP.

That's exactly why the initial question is a little unclear: There may have been different sounds/programs on that place during the last years.

No trouble - I´ll check my NS4 at the weekend and create some Bundles...

The reason for the NE6? It quite clear, that you can play the Organ on the NS4HA, but when you like to "escalate" an Organ Solo, you´ll need a corresponding Keybed... I had a Yamaha MX49 above the NS4, but I like to play my Organs too here and so I changed to a Roland VR-09 as upper Key... Lots of Synth Stuff, but the Organ was not Hammond-alike enough... I changed to a Yamaha YC61 with a great Hammond-Feeling, but there the other Sounds did not satisfy my requests... So I sold my old NE573 and choose the NE6D61 as Organ-Keybed to extend the NS473HA... I think the Nord Waterfall Keybed is a great invention and I like to play Organ on it... If I need Synth-Feeling incl. Mod, Pitch and Aftertouch, I take the NS4... But as most of my Analog-Synth-Sounds coming as Original from not-velocitiy-responding-keyboards, I can get along with with the NE6 and its 61Keys are more smart to carry from one rehearsal to the next...

Let me remark, that I found the NE5-Organ much warmer and the NE5-73c Keybed not that hard to touch / play, as I have it with the NE6 - but anyway: i`m satisfied!

Well.. I´m one of the greatest Fans of the Stockholm - it was the Nord-Sample I´d been waiting for... So let me stay in my Dream-World, where it´s the one and only and there has never been an other...



...okay - I be honest and won´t like to miss the EP1 Deep and EP2 Ideal also...

If I make myself a lot of work, I could install earlier Factory-Settings also, to check the Situation.
Let´s see, how many hours / minutes my weekend has left for that investigation...
