Ask me anything - NS3 earning its keep

Post by ericL »

I posted this on the Facebook group for NS3 users and received a lot of comments and questions, so I figured I would share here and invite conversation. I would be more than happy to share any and all of my Programs that I've been working on for a few years, after making the switch from my trusted NS2 platform. I still have most of these songs covered on the NS2 as well.

The main thing I am trying to do is keep it simple - no other keyboards allowed. Just a NS3. I have worked hard with a variety of A/B slots, use of morphs, songs, etc. to dig deep into the capabilities of the NS3. I'm sharing the post I made and the setlist from a gig yesterday. I play in several bands, and this particular band's full setlist (slightly out of date) is on our website here.

Hit me up if you see anything you want! My preference is to create some quick YouTube videos demonstrating how I use my programs, as they often involve some navigation of morphs and various zones on the keyboard.

Nice setlist, takes me back a few years. It looks like you have a good time playing in the videos - I thought you were breaking out a keytar until I realized it was your Stage 3 on its end! I'd like to hear your program for "Don't You Forget" if you could post that. If you have a chance, it would nice to see a video of you going over one of your more challenging programs too. Thank you for posting. Take care/

Cool...can you share Jesse's Girl, Devil Inside, New Sensation, Hungry Like the Wold, Workin For the Weekend, The Middle, Save a Horse? Heck I'll take em all if it's not too much! I just bought a NS3 and need to learn the board. I play a similar setlist with Mainstage but I want to move towards using only the Nord if it can handle the songs by itself. Thanks man!

Every Little Thing and Sledgehammer are of great interest to me.

To be honest it would probably be best if you just dumped all the programs and related samples here. And if your programs don't use lots of large pianos, I'd be happy with a bundle.

On the Keyboard Corner, this comes up from time to time. One board that can get you through most any song and any gig and sound pretty good in the process.
I think I have gear issues ....

I'd love to see how you realized "Mr Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" as we also cover those two songs too and I'm also only using a NS3. Thank you!
