Amazing! Thank you David. I’ll look into Chicago street from studio horns and Pro logic

Thanks for your reply Matt,
I’m a tenor sax player in an eight piece ska band. We have 3 horns. The sound is really big and full. Pretty awesome.
Playing on my Nord Electro stage 3 after playing in a horn section I can hear how awful the sounds are. I’ve been quite surprised by this, i expected more from Nord. I can hardly bring myself to use any of the horn settings.
The Line 6 DL4 looks really interesting. I may well invest in one.
Meantime, if I do find something that sounds awesome I will let you know
Many thanks

Angela

Thanks for your reply Matt.
It all makes perfect sense. I’m loving the sound of your dub patches. Did you download them from the Nord website onto your Nord keyboard?.
I’m not sure about the sound of the horns on my Nord Electro 6D. The sound is too synthesised. I’d love to find a way of making the horns sound a bit more authentic.
I play sax and sometimes add it into a performance. There are times where that’s not possible and sadly the horn sounds are not cutting it on the keyboard. I’ll have to play around with the settings and see if I can get a better sound…more brass, less synth 🙂

Hi Matt and David. Thank you so much for both your replies. I hadn’t seen the Hammond drawbar settings on the website you mentioned. It will be fun playing around with all the variations for the many songs I have on my list.
Matt, I’m considering taking a second keyboard to gigs if there is a good enough reason to do so. I also play a saxophone and a second keyboard means I’m carrying a lot of equipment. I’m interested to know why you choose to use 2 keyboards rather than adding a split on the one keyboard? Does it make it easier and give a better sound when playing hi and lo tones if you have 2 keyboards?
