The core of my setup is the Stage 3. I can play a show with only a sustain pedal + a control pedal added to that. In the future I intend to use Mainstage for 2 main functions: A talkbox and sidechain. Sidechain requires routing outputs 1-2 of the S3 through Mainstage, with a kick mic signal pumping it when needed. The talk box is a completely different story (which I'm happy to share), but that is completely handled in mainstage apart from S3 Extern controlling it.

I have the full repertoire on Spotify (almost 4 hours), but I decided to remove unnecessary songs from this list. This includes songs that just use basic (but good) piano or B3 programs. I have 4 different grand piano patches, with various levels of padding on top of the Silver Grand XL (my only grand piano sample). I have 4 B3 programs with increasing amounts of overdrive (and a solo volume on panel B), so I avoid making 23 redundant B3 programs.

I play in a 5 piece band, with 1 guitar, 2 keys (me being one of them), bass and drums. My fellow keyboardist mainly plays piano, and occasionally some EP. This leaves me with lots ofdoing whatever the hell I want. YAY!

My strategy in programs levels might seem weird to you, I try to keep the average volume low, so I have lots of headroom for solo sounds. I generally keep my programs even in volume, but store small adjustments beforehand to aid whoever is in charge of mixing our band.

Here are the songs:
I colour coded the ones that don't have their own Song, but are instead grouped into one Song with others on the instrument.

I tried to make this as readable as possible. Hope I this was helpful.

Hello, and thank you for this list - I'd love to hear what you put together. If you copy your backup and rename the copy with a "zip" extension, you can delete the Pianos and any Samples that you didn't download for the songs to reduce the file size considerably. If you have the opportunity, adding mp3s to your post would be very helpful as well. Thanks again.

Hmmm... I'm unable to upload even a small file. Safari's site loading progress bar just stops and nothing happens after pressing "Add the file" or "Submit". Running macOs Monterey 12.3.1 on a fully functional M1 MacBook Air. Also tried on my older 2015 Air. Same problem.

Can anyone tell what's wrong here?

Maybe there is a limit in file size you can upload on NUF? Try to load your file into a cloud drive (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive...) and create a public link to it and post the link here

I tried to upload a really small file but it did not work. All the files are in Google Drive now, and the folder should be accessible by anyone through that link. No mp3s yet.
