Hi everyone,

I know this song is pretty old, but it's still fun and my band decided to give it a go. Here's my problem. I'm still new to the Nord Stage 2 EX that I got a few months ago, and I am good using the preprogrammed sounds on board. When it comes to the synth, and creating my own stuff - I am CLUELESS!!! I've spent more time messing around trying to tweak one sound only to find it screws up my other programs.

So how did this guy make these settings:
I know the song is about 14-15 years old, but I figured somebody here would have posted it at some point. Any advice? I'm a fantastic player, but I struggle with creating. HELP!!!!!

The video you cite seems to show multiple notes being played back by pressing one key, which would suggest that if you got the sample that this person used, your band would be locked into the tempo that derives from the timings built into that sample.

Here is someone else showing what they play on the keyboard, using some patches that only play back a single note when a key is pressed: I don't know the song well, but I would think this type of approach would be more practical in a band.

Yeah, I don't want something locked into a tempo. I just know I've gotten other samples on here that incorporate all the noises, and tricky parts in one setting. There are a few sounds I love in the song, but figuring out how to layer them, and save it from scratch isn't something I know how to do yet. I'm no good at sound manager at all yet. I was hoping somebody had made one at some point but never posted it.

Here is a patch I did a while ago. The bass synth is on the upper split (I play that with my right hand) the cheesy organ is in the middle, and the other synth is on the lower split.

This song can be covered convincingly in real time, I think.

Does anyone have this patch for a Nord Stage 3? I tried uploading this patch and it's not compatible.

Hello, welcome to the Forum! Using this online app written by Forum member florence (https://ns3-program-viewer.herokuapp.com/) you can view the settings for the Stage 2 program you downloaded and try to recreate it on your Stage 3. There's some difference in the synths, but piano and organ are straightforward. Take a look and feel free to ask questions. Good luck to you.
