Jim Alfredson Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Pretty sure Village Ghetto Land was the GX-1. Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm pretty sure you can play Village Ghetto Land without both CS80 and GX-1 :D Custom handmade clocks: www.etsy.com/shop/ClockLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mullins Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I checked these out yesterday and was disappointed. The Vangelis sounds were ok, but the rest of them were kinda flat. I was hoping they would have those really juicy Eddy Jobson pads from the UK records.

Tom I loaded each of them into my keyboard. Admittedly, I was looking for those Jobson type sounds, so my disappoint in the sounds may be just that they weren't what I was looking for. YMMV. It probably didn't help that my Tetra arrived yesterday and I was playing with that at the same time. Hard to compare static samples to real analog.

Hard to compare static samples to real analog. Understood. Plus, the NE3 has no pitch bend controller. To me, a big part of playing lead synth parts is to use pitch bend. For string pads and such, this isn't a problem. For emulation of these vintage synths, you really need this.

Last week, I spent a day going through the samples I had loaded on my E3 and auditioning the rest of the Nord library. I swapped about half the sounds. At this point, almost all of them are either pads, sustained instruments (like string sections and organ), or percussive sounds. As much as I wanted to like the synth sounds, the only ones that did it for me are ones that you wouldn't use pitch bend or mod wheel on. For the most part there is little in there that I couldn't get a more expressive approximation of on my S90ES (and now on the Tetra). But that's fine....it's great to be able to use the E3 samples for the more quirky stuff like the Chamberlin and Pianet.
