Cool effect with the control pedal on Urgent. The videos are really helpful; thanks for taking the time to make and post them!

One of the FB groups was seeking insights on David Bowie's Let's Dance, so I made a quick demo video to show how I'm playing the song, along with NS3 Program.

My favorite part is what I've decided to do with the bridge with the control pedal boosting the delay feedback and wet/dry amounts, along with an octave pitch bend. Enjoy!

Sure thing - I don't believe I have documented this on video, though I can add this to my list to show what I'm doing. For the intro and verse sections, I am mostly laying down an atmospheric pad using the Shut Up DancePad, which has the pad on the upper side of the split (filter sweep with control pedal) and a bright electric grand sound on the lower split, which I typically play the chord stabs during the chorus.

For the signature solo, check out the Shut Up Lead 2, which has two fat synth lead sounds stacked together, with the control pedal controlling volume for one of them. Sometimes I will start with the single sound and swell in the second sound to build some energy.

Hope this helps!

OK here goes...I am looking for programs that would allow me on a Stage 3 to play the horns/organ on Ides of March Vehicle? Any chance you have the programs developed?

I do not play that song. Check out my programs for Sledgehammer. They are probably more than enough for that song.

I agree, I found the Sledgehammer program on Marc Larochelles training...it works pretty good for the tune...Thank you for your reply.
