Anyone have suggestions for good 'Long Train Running' settings or program for NE6D?
Thanks!

Hmmmm... I cant hear any keys in the song at all. At least not on a first listen. I suggest you ask the guitarist what they will play, and work together with that.
Anything that comes out of the Piano or Organ engines can work, if played appripriately. Slap some slow chorus on a (Rhodes) Whurly, an amp sim with moderate drive, if you want to be versatile. Play rhythmically if that's needed, and if not, don't.

Re: Long Train Running
In my NS3, I am using a layered Wurly + pad sound in one panel, plus a synth brass sound which volume is controlled by a pedal in the 2nd panel that I normally trigger in the bridge.
Current Keyboard Rig: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha Montage 7wh, Yamaha YC61, Alesis Fusion 6HD. Yamaha babygrand Piano. Extra sounds Ipad with AUM and plenty of synth apps + onsong pro

Re: Long Train Running
If you only have one guitarist, you can dial up an acoustic guitar sample and play the single-note riff that goes throughout the song. Then you can have an organ program play behind the harmony vocals for support when they sing "luh uh uh uv" at the end of each chorus. You can also use the organ to fill in and fade out during the "oooh where would you be now" before the jam at the end.

Re: Long Train Running
I use a Clav riff for the verse with a B3 for the chorus.
A harmonica sample for the solo.

Re: Long Train Running
I am assuming you have a rhythm guitarist who is driving this - playing the well-known rhythm guitar part (the chord strumming).
If so, I suggest using Nefertiti EP sound to play long note triad chords as a contrast to this.
This is what I do on this song when our band covers it.
When our solo guitarist plays his solo (we don't have a harmonica player), I play chord extensions on the E- chord. (moving between triads of E-G-B, G-B-D, B-D-F#, D-F#-A). This is with the rhythm guitarist stay playing the well-known rhythm guitar strumming part.

Re: Long Train Running
Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions! I'll experiment with all of them.
Unfortunately, I'm the rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, and saxman, so I typically have to decide what instrument is needed most on any particular number (which is a no-brainer for Kenny G numbers...LOL). It appears that rhythm guitar is most needed for that song, so I may have to forgo keyboards on that number; I was just hoping there might be a killer sound for backing and fill behind my lead guitarist where I didn't have to switch instruments so often on stage.
Thanks so much again for your contributions!!

You seem to be the one thing that every cover band needs.
