U2 With or without you

[phil59]

Hi all
I'm a new user of NS2 since one month.
With my band we play this song. I'm looking for great program with the arpegiattor, the intro sound...and more !
If you have a great patch it will be nice !
Thank you
Philippe

Hello some ideas ?

[phil59]

Hi,
I use only a SynthPad2 nsmp for that song, with velocity modulation on the filter, slow attack.
On the other synth slot I put the M1 Universe nsmp that I control with the foot pedal.
I avoided the arpegiated part because it would not be syncrhonized with my bandmates, and I prefer us to have some freedom on the tempo, and enjoy that we rarely play a song exactly the same way.
I just play the chords, D/2 | A | Bm | G with LH, soft, then add the right hand with the same chords, higher and harder.
Cheers,
Frantz.

Thank you Frantz for your answer. We keep a lot of interpretation too !!
What do you mean "with LH" ?
Regards
Philippe

Possibly "with left hand"?

Hi,

Here's some alternate tip (or receipe) for this song, that should avoid an arp/sequence use, specially if you play with a human drummer:
Use the synth section, select "Sin" in FM category
Use 900ms as release time, use a medium-short attack time.
Adjust HF filter to make it more "mellow".

Then play the following notes in a loop, one hand alternating to the other :
[:D6 (right hand, piano), D5 (left hand, pianissimo), A5(lright hand, piano), F#5 (left hand, pianissimo):]
Then Adjust middle eq to avoid invading frequencies.

Then relax, sit back, enjoy and call friends to play the other parts

Thank's a lot. I 'll try this week.
