I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight

Post by Sunburst59 »

Hi guys, I'm not really a keyboard player, but the keyboard player in my band is in hospital at the moment and will be having treatment for the next few weeks. He has asked me if I can put a patch together for a song he/we have wanted to do for ages. I have his keyboard (Electro 6D) and am getting to grips with how it all works, but would really appreciated any advice, from the wealth of experience on this forum, as to where to start on getting the main keyboard part to The Cutting Crews "I just Died In Your Arms Tonight". Our next gig is not until the 1st October so no immediate rush. Many thanks in advance.

It’s been decades since I played that song (and didn’t have a Nord then) but look for a breathy chiff-type sound for the chords and a string sample for the other part.

Look for "My Keys To Music" on Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/MyKeysToMusic/posts ). Marc does an excellent work on many aspects of Nord keyboards. Definitely you have to follow him. There is a specific post for that song. Can't get better than that. Go for it!

There is also a nsmp3 file available on the nordusersounds.com website.
Not sure if this is usable for the Nord Electro 6. But I guess: give it a go :)

Many thanks guys for the suggestions which I will check out - much appreciated.

I did manage to work something close out myself using the Pipe 2 Organ, DX7 FullTines Piano and the Digital Air Layer Synth.

Quick question - I've downloaded the s50332 I Just Died.ns3fb file and loaded into the 6D (works and sounds great) - how do you find out which samples were used to create it?

Cheers
Colin

I guess you have downloaded the nsmp3 file (sample). Because the ns3fb is a Nord Stage 3 Program bundle file. You can't load that into a Nord Electro 6(D).
So you have the sample already in the instrument.

Use the Nord Program Viewer https://ns3-program-viewer.herokuapp.com/ that was done by @florence
