Fellow keyboardist and Rick Wright enthusiast here. Rick is pretty dang unique in his style and approach to playing. It's not quite jazz, yet it's not quite rock and roll. He's not especially classically gifted, yet nobody has ever created such a particular atmosphere. He does very few lead keyboards, even on the songs he wrote. Rick fills in a lot of the gaps left from the guitar and vocal lines.
He was always very chord-heavy, and liked to revolve his progressions on a pedal root of the chord (by playing inverted chords to finish the sequence). He loved adding 4ths and 7ths, and stayed simpler instead of too overplayed.To start, I would suggest monkeying around with his foundational instruments: Acoustic piano, Wurlitzer/Fender Rhodes electric piano, and Hammond B3. Once you feel like you can emulate some of that playing, then it's time to play around with some Farfisa, MiniMoog synth, Kurzweil pads, and piano-leslie hookups. To get an authentic Rick Wright sound however is to start with an empty pallet and slowly fill in the gaps. Also remember than many, if not all of his work had two or three boards in the mix. For example, WYWH had both synth horns and acoustic piano.
Time has Wurlizer electric piano and a bunch of Hammond, etc.Start with chord progressions on the acoustic, whirly, and Hammond to start. Good question.because yes, most of us do not have semi trailers available to haul tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
I have a Yamaha DGX 650 that I essentially use as a MIDI controller. My acoustic piano and Wurlizer/Fender Rhodes is emulated through Garage Band. My Hammond emulation is with the IOS App, Galileo Organ. I have experimented with so many different organ emulators, and this is by far better than anything else out there. I have a pedal that I use for my Leslie control, and patch a smaller midi controller so that I can use two registers.
I honestly don't mess around with synthy stuff too much. I tend to stick to those three.As far as the Nord Electro goes, it packs a lot of bang for its buck. The electric piano emulators are near perfect, and the organ is nearly indistinguishable from a B3. That being said, it is going to be more expensive than using software emulators with just a standard MIDI controller. I guess it's all about how you want to work it. However, I would never not encourage someone to buy an Electro.they're amazing machines.
