Acoustic Police-Sting

[Puricella]

Hello everyone. I should start playing in an acoustic duo Piano-Bass (vocals). The bassist is also a singer. We would do a tribute to Sting-Police. With my Nord Stage3, to replace the guitar (I don't like using preset guitar sounds), I would like to use EP sounds that can "replace" the guitar (fundamental in Police songs). Do you have any suggestions on how to edit a similar sound? I'm still undecided on what approach to use in a similar acoustic. The songs are the usual ones: Every Breath You Take, Message in a bottle, Walking on the moon, etc

Salvatore

Thanks.

I use a combination of Yamaha CP-80 electric grand for my left hand and the Black (Petrof) Upright for King of Pain. Add chorus to the CP-80 and delay to to suit your taste and enjoy!

Ciao Salvatore,
unfortunately I´ve got an NS4 (not NS3) so we need a little help from the knowledge of other forum-members...

You can realize a nice sound for "Every breath you take" with the following steps (the most should also be possible on a NS3):
- 2 way split
- lower: a combi of a dark rhodes (e.g. EP1 soft) and the muted upright-sound you can find in the Bryn Bliska Bank (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/si ... d-stage-4/ - there part of the mute dance program...); I will post the .nsmp4-file here later (I hope it is in terms of copyright o.k., because I don`t own any rights and I tell you her wher the free source is to find..)
- perhaps as an additional sound the square-wave-based (with a little unison or chorus) which is added in the second verse (morphed in with the wheel)
- upper: a bright piano-Sound (like the silver grand) for the part after the bridge/interlude or whatever you call it
(Scecond program - or Layer II on a NS4...)
- also on the lower part the same piano to use it in the part ("since you've gone...")

So the tricky part would be to convert a .nsmp4-file to be used in the NS3 (so as a .nsmp3-Format..) - @WannitBBBad: is it possible?

Cheers
Tim

P.S. I will post a first attemp with audio later...

Here are my first attempts (don't blame me...the playing could be better...)

1. Every breath you take
(one Split)
Layer I (sorry, it's initially for NS4 - on NS3 we must find a solution) all is layed out on lower zone
Synth A - dark syn EPiano, Synth B - BB (Bryn Bliska) muted upright, Synth C - square-waved-pad (with chorus, morphed in by wheel)
Piano B (upper zone) - Silver grand
Layer II
Piano A - Silver grand (lower) + Piano B (same on upper zone)

2. Walking on the moon
Layer I
Piano A - white grand (a little drive, phaser, reverb amount morphed by wheel, vice versa morphed the delay for chorus-part)
Layer II
Piano B - same one but without phaser/flanger (for further verse-part)

3. Message in a bottle
(one split)
lower zone - Piano with a bit of chorus, upper zone - B3

Hope you can use this examples in any way (either they are for NS4...)

Cheers
Tim

…and as I get the answer in another threads (no downward converting of .nsmp4-files) I will contact Nord or Miss Bryn Bliska if a nsmp3-conversion/-resampling is allowed…
