Hi there, better late than never.

I've attached a NS2 bundle for a single program I created years ago for my band's cover of Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy (no judging the song - it's a bit cheesy, but the crowds love it).

This has a banjo sound in the lower split, a fiddle in the middle, and a Hammond in the upper. I hope it helps!

Also, I mess with the Attack for the fiddle sound, along with pitch bend. I use it to get some eerie background fiddle-type noises.

I am also including just the fiddle sample for anyone that is not using the NS2 - realized the NS2 Program bundle won't do much for the NS3 or other Nords. I don't recall the origin of this sample, but have used it in this program for many years.

@FlameTopFred - I bet heads turn; you're a cat!!!

Thanks a lot, now, I'm a real "Prairies' Canadian Guy", I can play country songs

I made a nice fiddle sound on my Yamaha MO8 by using a violin patch and the stock fiddle patch, slightly retuning the fiddle patch, then allowing the pitch bend to effect only the fiddle patch. Gets that nice double-stop sound and the pitch bend/straight tone combo has an authentic "slide into unison" sound.

I haven't done it on my Stage 2, but the recipe would be similar. Just use 2 different solo violin patches.
