Fix You organ sound

gabry1090 · 07-10-2012, 06:33 PM

This is Chris Martin's organ sound, the one used on X&Y and during his live shows, hope you like it, let me know

Fix You Coldplay - (as played live by Chris Martin) Organ Cover - YouTube

That sounds EXACTLY like it!!! I have a keyboard (Yamaha one) and can't find this sound

Awesome btw, like your shirt too!

Twisted mind · 07-10-2012, 07:26 PM

^^ that sounds really just like the original! Amazing!

gabry1090 · 08-10-2012, 12:17 AM

it sounds the same beacuse it's the same, this has been taken from the record of X&Y, it's not an emulation or something like that, it's his sound

you won't find it in any keyboard, i'm running the piano through the computer, when i press the button on the piano i'm just muting it, then I raise the volume

Twisted mind · 08-10-2012, 12:54 AM

^ Can you play a Coldplay song (which ever you can/want to) with these organ sounds and upload the video/audio somewhere?

I would love to know how it sounds on other songs!

gabry1090 · 08-10-2012, 01:02 PM

sure! i already tried and to me it sounds awful! ahahaha

it's an astonishing sound, but only with fix you will sound that great

i will post the video here, keep your eyes on the thread

Twisted mind · 08-10-2012, 11:34 PM

^ somehow I knew it would sound awful!

Probably a jumbled mess of organ sounds

Although I believe it could sound OK on slow songs like "Proof", "Gravity" and "Easy to Please" maybe

But thank you so much for posting a video!

Yes it sounds good but I still think that Yamaha's DGX are good alternatives. I use Cool! Organ and for the later part Cool! Organ + Church Organ using the dual mode and to me it still sounds like it.

loco · 12-10-2012, 07:17 AM

I have an organ preset on Garageband called Percussion Organ that sounds very similar

Coldplero · 12-10-2012, 03:53 PM

Hahaha I'm surprised he's playing same sound!!!!!!!!!!
applauses insanely
What's the name of that sound??!?!?!?!?!?!?

gabry1090 · 13-10-2012, 01:36 PM

The sound has been professionally sampled from the x&y recordings, extracting the single notes from the chords. My video has been recorded with a camera, if I upload the mp3 file from the mixer out i bet it won't sound the same as you say

this is the same sound used by chris martin, if you want an audio file you will hear the difference...so i'm using a computer, doesn't matter the piano, the keyboard, the model or whatever you want, it will sound the same, it's a matter of sample

LeonieArienne · 23-10-2012, 11:09 PM

I'm trying to find the right sound on my keyboard, but it definitely doesn't come as close as your sound.

aaronm · 11-12-2012, 11:42 PM

did you employ someone to sample it for you or did you do it yourself?

I'm so going to try this when I get home from orchestra rehearsals tomorrow.

Am I right in saying this sound was also used in Strawberry Swing? It's heard slightly in the studio version, but it's a lot more audible in the instrumental.
