[NE3] Tears for Fears Everybody wants to rule the world

Post by SlippersMcC »

Hello,

I'm looking for the samples used for the tears for fears song. I've looked at various forums etc and it talks about the DX7 and the Fairlight. However, it doesn't say which Fairlight sample they used for the synth part.

It's for my son that's playing a synth in a school rock band and they want him to get the part as close as possible. He's been given a Nord Electro 3 from the school, only ever played a piano so we're on a steep learning curve trying to work out how to get the required sound.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using the Electro 5 so not sure if this will work on the Electro3. I previously used a Roland JV1080 for this one, within which I built a performance that included pretty much all the required sounds mapped across a single keyboard: Sampled choir, the intro 'bell' sound, and the synth for the verses. I've now sampled this in to the Electro 5 using the sample editor. I've attached the samples and the project - hopefully you can make use of them.

For the verses, the only other sound I use behind the synth is a piano, played on a Separate Roland RD - just adds a bit of body behind the synth sound.

Good luck!
