Any pointers as to recreating the synth used during the solo of "The Load-Out?" Can't imagine it's too difficult to recreate, but I'm just getting acquainted with my first Nord (and first synth, really -- always just been a piano man) and man do I have a lot of learning to do! Solo starts around the 1:45 mark of The Load Out (2018 Remaster).

That's a fairly iconic Minimoog or similar pulse lead. I am pretty sure that if you scroll through the synth presets in the NS3 synth section, go to the leads and you'll find one that's pretty close. This sound, or very close to it, has been a preset in many keyboards for decades. Steve Winwood's "Finer Things" uses a very similar lead sound. I don't have a NS3 set up at the moment, though happy to look and find a sound one day when I am using it.

I honestly assumed it would be as simple as finding something that was pre-loaded in the synth engine. The thing is ridiculously chalk full of most things you could need in simple performance formats - just real overwhelming when you first turn the sucker on! Know very little about the world of synth, but with every bit of info I absorb, my mind gets blown a little more by how intuitive & comprehensive the engines are on this machine!!!
