Thanks a lot for sharing. Gave me a new perspective to the songs I play.

Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for sharing these fantastic programs and helpful videos. Could you please provide or point me to the specific Shakuhachi sample that you used for the Sledgehammer programs?


Thanks,
Bill

Hey, EricL, nice contribution to the community! I had programmed these songs at some point, but it was great to hear your version as well!

Hey Eric, would LOVE to get a patch for Bye Bye Love and Working for the Weekend! Just unboxed my NS3 and am new to all the synth stuff, but could put these patches into use right away.
EDIT: Sorry, I see you put Bye Bye Love in this thread: nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files- ... 21560.html

Glad you found the Bye Bye Love program and hope it helps! I'm attaching Working for the Weekend. No time to make a demo of this at the moment. It's a pretty straightforward stacked bright synth and I believe I have an organ sound with volume morph assigned to the control pedal that I bring in during the choruses.

P.S. I actually found two WFW programs on my laptop, though I cannot remember if they are any different from one another. I usually use a single program for this song. You can check them out and see what you think. Another time when I have my NS3 set up, I can take a peek to see what I was thinking with two different programs.

Sorry, I seem to have missed the request for Let's Dance the first time around. I'm attaching the sound I use. I don't have the time right now to make a demo recording, though I can try this weekend. Basically, I use a brass sound in the lower half of the split and a fat saw synth in the upper half of the split. I have the control pedal mapped to morph the delay wet/dry and feedback for the synth sound, so when we get to the bridge and there's that big diving type sound, I do my own take on this by sweeping up the pedal and using the pitch stick, set to drop by an octave. If you hit it just right, it sounds a bit like the recording though NS3 style, LOL.

Hope this helps!
Eric
