Hi all,
This might be a bit of an odd request but I am doing some backing tracks for myself and trying to get near to the bass sound that David Foster used on much of his 80/90s work.
Its a glorious full rich sound and I believe he used a mini moog,It does sound moogish.
Example,and there are others of around that time is St Elmos Fire.
Scrub to 0.46 where the main verse kicks in.To hear it to its full extent best to play through good sound system.
Maybe I could tweak one of the Nord samples,or are maybe online sources to download...not found any so far.
Appreciate any suggestions...thanks in advance.
My board is Stage 4.(73)
Richard.
David Foster bass.

Re: David Foster bass.
These samples aren’t so bad: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... synth-bass
(101 Bass 1)
and: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... synth-bass
(SH101 Bass 1 and SH101 Bass 2).
On the other hand, have you scrolled through the bass-presets in the synth-section? Maybe you'll find a preset you can tweak towards the sound you're looking for?

Re: David Foster bass.
Thanks Catosim.I have the bass presets in synth section and not really close enough for me...even with a lot of tweaking.Maybe DF did a lot it post production to create the sound.His bass sound seems to have a wide stereo field,maybe thats part of the solution,will need to experiment more.

Re: David Foster bass.
The closest is the Library 3 but the samples dont work with the Stage 4..as far as I am aware.

Re: David Foster bass.
Well, according to this thread: post168480.html?hilit=nsmp3%20stage%204#p168480
(SH101 Bass 1 and SH101 Bass 2).
You'll find NSMP files here: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... ry-20/bassfdwyersd wrote:Yes convert NSMP files to NSMP3 with the converter then rename them to .nsmp3... the NS4 sound editor will change them to NSMP4 and upload to keyboard. Have had 3/3 success with this.
