Request for "HOLD THE LINE" program

Post by Initials BV »

Hello fellow music players,
I am a new (happy) owner of a NS3, but now need to find back all the sounds it took years for me to prepare on my previous Roland RD800 :o
Is there anybody who could help, starting by Toto's HOLD THE LINE masterpiece ? :D
I had a look on the forum but only could find some for NS2... and the info that they are not compatible!

Many thanks

For the piano, use the Electric Grand. And tweak the eq a bit.

Welcome! I layer the Silver Grand with EGrand 3 Mono. The string layer is the Soft Strings Legato sample that I bring in with the control pedal.

I’m sure it could be better, but I like what I hear on FOH recordings. Anyone should feel free to post improvements.

EGrand 3 Mono
0.0 dB
Layer Detune = 2
KB Touch = 1
Piano EQ button = Off
Chorus 2, Rate 5.2, Amount 1.4
EQ Mid = -7.0dB, 999Hz
Reverb = Stage 1, 2.6, Bright

Silver Grand
-1.7 dB
Piano EQ button = Bright
Reverb = Stage 1, 2.6, Bright

String Sample
Soft Strings Legato
Velocity = 2
KB Track = 2/3
Filter = LP12, 5.0kHz
Attack = .5 ms
Decay = Sustain
Release = 158ms

And a special thanks to Ajstan (a little bit late, sorry, but business trip then Xmas break occured in the meantime...).
I used all the settings you proposed, and the result is just AMAZING :D
I am only looking for a bass sound to add optionally on the left hand as our bass player is sometimes... just not with us. Any idea welcome, even if I of course found several possibilities (but honestly I find the bass sample are a little bit pale, or maybe it is just me missing the settings to give them the correct emphasis :) )
Thanks again anyway, :yourock: !!
