Piano Request: PRINCE - Never Take The Place Of Your Man

[jim88]

Hi all,

My highschool band is gearing-up for a reunion gig after 40 yrs. So it's back to the 80s!

Can anyone help me get the quirky piano sound in the studio version of Prince: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man?

Here's a clip of it:

• Prince - I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (intro).mp3

Here's the full tune:

Back in the 80s I played it on a Korg Poly 6, which could play a whopping 6 notes at the same time Hoping my S3 can do better.

(Weirdly enough Prince went on to live 1km from me here in Toronto. Go figure.)

Appreciate any help with this - gig's coming up!

I would try using the ring modulation (RM) effect on the piano at a fast rate. It can make a Grand sound like a toy piano. You could also back it up with a synth pad behind it. Good luck!
