Great playing in this song. The Prophet Rev2 has layering and I assume one sound can be in mono voice (unison) and the other polyphonic, but not sure if the mono voice will track the highest note played in a chord - it sounds like it to me. The old Prophets would track the high note that way and I'd love it if the Nords could be capable of tracking like that when in mono voice, at least as an option. On my Prophet 10, I could combine the upper and lower synths with one being in mono with glide, which added a bit of flexibility in playing - it's one of the first things I looked for when I got my first Stage. What I'm hearing is a dominant top note with glide and the other notes with a similar polyphonic sound. I tried a split with two synths on the NS3 last night, one for mono part, and covering the filters and volume with the mod wheel. It's a little harder to play with the split than being able to play with both hands like in the video and just have the high note tracked - this at least might get you started.
Update: The program was revised 9/22/2018 to add the mod wheel also covering the drop in pitch which required using OSC2 for the primary voice.
Update2: As Nick starts to "open" the filter (turn up the Freq) more as the song picks up, the program was revised 9/25/2018 with the filter applied to the Control Pedal (rather than volume). I also added two additional programs that achieve the same sound but each accommodates a different playing technique as follows:
"NS TradeItAll W.ns3f" is the same as previously posted but with the filter applied to the Control Pedal for when the song picks up.
"NS TradeItAll2 W.ns3f" swaps the Control Pedal and Mod Wheel functions. The Control Pedal is used all the way up, and then backed off quickly to pull the pitch down and "open" the filter.
"NS TradeItAll3 W.ns3f" is the same as 2 but with left and right hand sounds swapped.
Take care.
