Program for "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Styx

Post by WannitBBBad »

Here's my take on "Too Much Time On My Hands" using the sample I created. I would appreciate a "thanks" (thumbs up) if you download. The sample is made so that the keyboard can be played at A-440 or transposed down a half step, and includes the intro, starting synth pattern, individual intro notes, resonant filter decay, and clocks ticking at the end. In the program, I combine it with a distorted Overland Guitar sample (already loaded in the NS4 but included below as well). Happy New Year!

Brilliant and very Authentic sound - takes me right back to the early 80's.

Hi WannitBBBad,

cool sounds - reminds me of an own composed and recorded track which has used a ticking-clock-sound (starts at 0:24), too...:
