I have a patch for this, but I also use my A1. Would take about three programs on the NS 3.

1. Main voice/flute type pad
2. Elec piano and synth 1 in pre chorus
3. Open strings in main chorus
4. Synth2 line in second verse
5. Marcato string line in chorus before guitar solo

If you want a partial patch for everything but synth 1 and synth 2, I can post it for you-

The main pad/Stab sound is a CS80.

Well, I didn't know that, I just worked on this one this week and we played it on Thursday at our first practice...I used the patch from Funk 76 for my Stage 2, I thought it was the most interesting....
I sill use my D50 for the extra strings and my prophet 12 as well, I did a layer with the pads on the stage 2 with some other pads on my matrix, it's a nice song, very catchy...
We had a bit of issue trying to recreate the bass line sound which is a Moog Minimoog I think (especially because it was two Moog...) but that was great at the end...
Well I played one time on a CS80 when I was working for Yamaha music in 88, that was a beast...
Good practice for your patch in the Stage 3...

I loaded this program and both A and B panels say "Sample not found". Which samples does the program require?
