Ondre J Pivec EPs (Piano 4)
Grammy Award-winning keyboardist, composer, recording artist and bandleader Ondre J Pivec has created brilliant EP patches for Nord Piano 4. From classic "bread and butter” to creamy, fat and barky EP sounds inspired by musical heroes and jazz legends.
About
"Employing the newly enhanced sample sets and filters, I ventured to re-create a few of my favorite Electric piano tones. These are sounds I’ve come to love over the years while listening to and learning from some of the best players in the World. Some patches have an additional pad layer underneath, that can be brought in with the mod-wheel or the expression pedal. I hope you enjoy these, and that they serve as a basis for your own unique creations."
Utility Stage - "This is more of a “bread and butter” EP sound with enough top and bottom end to fit nicely into most musical situations, yet capable of cutting through the mix"
Tea Phaser - "This one has a bright tone, with a lot of phasing based on the creamy sound of the legendary Richard Tee"
Funky Suitcase - "Utilizing the soft filter, but compensating with a lot of treble from the EQ, this one to me somewhat resembles Herbie Hancock’s tone"
George’s Model E - "I recommend looking up “Model E” - it’s a lot of fun reading about this unique instrument. It’s the one electric piano that can be heard on countless hits that came out of the LA area"
Jazz Suitcase 2 - "This one is loosely based on a tone of another one of my musical heroes - the phenomenal Bill Evans"
Nord Corea - "A patch with some emphasis in the high mid-range, appropriate for jazz soloing"
