Hi everybody,
I'm in a cover band and we are planning to play the song "Relax" by Frankie goes to hollywood. I'm trying to make the different synth sounds in this song but not great results for the moment. I'd like to know if one of you, would have a nord stage 2 preset or samples or ideas about the synth I could use for this song? Thank you very much for your help.

Re: "Relax" Frankie goes to Hollywood
That song was built by Trevor Horn mostly on a Fairlight. The drums are LinnDrum, and the pads and brass are probably a Roland Jupiter 8.
The "BOW BOW BOW" bass is quite possibly a PPG Waveterm.
There's probably a number of custom samples, but much of what you need, you should be able to find in here:

PPG Wave:

No idea what sample is called that could be used for the BOW BOW BOW bass, but the second one in the demo (from 0:09) sounds like it could be a dead ringer if taken down two or three octaves.
