Nord User Forum

Hello all,
So my band has decided to take a stab at Never Been Any Reason by Head East. I'm pretty sure the synth intro and solo is a minimoog but have no clue how to achieve this sound on the Nord Stage. Any help greatly appreciated. I've searched the net extensively with little to no success.

Hello Jaco944,
see if this is close enough for you.

Is there any way to use an nss file on the Stage 2? If not, is there any way to see what settings are in a nss file so that maybe I could create a stage 2 synth sound similar?

Thanks,
Dale

Hello dcraftfrombr,
Welcome to the forums.

Hi Dale,
As near as I can remember, these were the settings:


This should at least get you part of the way there.
Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to view the settings, or load a .nss file into the NS2.

Important factors for the sound are:
Mono (lead synth-like)
Saw wave oscillator waves.
at least two oscillators tuned an octave apart.
24db/oct LP filter with resonance tuned up very high.
a bit of glide to slide between notes (think Minimoog!)

Cheers, Hanon

Hi, I'm new on here...just bought a Nord Electro 3....will the above file work on the NE3? If not, does anyone have it in the correct format?
Thanks much....this is a very cool place

hi. Just wanted to say that those settings are spot on!! Thank you for this!!
