The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Post by Diego Unchained »

Here's a patch, mp3 and vidéo for this song, samples used are "Orch Strings Marc Vib" and "String Orchestra", which are in number 8 and 10 in the Factory samples presets. You'll need a contrl pedal to use this patch.

If you have an idea to improve this one, perhaps with another samples than the Nord's ones, post here!

Cool! Think you got the keyboard down pretty good. What do you use the control pedal to control? Just the volume?

I think that sounded pretty spot on actually! Only comment would be that during the verses of the original, I think the "pad-like" chords are played in a higher octave register, but from a practical standpoint, I thought you filled up the bottom end pretty well. Nicely done

Thank you all!

Pianogineer, the control pedal is just used on the intro to increase the volume of the right hand.
