Thanks Dan, I love the solo in this song - sounds great! I'd love to see more folks posting videos of them using some of my programs. I always liked this song but haven't ever played it out. You have some nice videos; I especially like the Genesis medley. Take care

Have not seen any new posts or programas specific to the Stage 4 for this awesome song. Loved what Dan did with his son! Parts of the program I adapted to the Stage 4 are similar to yours, Bill... really just changed the organ and added another synth part and a few other tweaks, so this post is more because you asked to see more videos using your programs (or parts of them!) :thumbup:

You always post up great sounds, Bill! I finally tackled (attempted to at least) :D Fooling Yourself which is the one that got me picking up a keyboard again back in 78! I used part of one of your programs, Bill... adapted to the Stage 4 which I love programming myself. With the Stage 4's extra synth part I based the right hand riff for mine on the Sub Pulse Saw vs. the Pure Pulse 33, but I used your Pulse 33 too, with some minor tweaking, and when combined it is literally right there, best heard at around the 3:30 mark in the YT video below. The left hand part is almost the same Super Saw but a different Organ sound. I started this about 45 seconds past the repetitive opening parts. I used Moises to pull out the original keyboard parts. Most of the left hand parts are on the Nord, the Kronos for a few parts and the little 4-note riff before the organ and vocals come in. The Obi (of course) midi'd to the Modx for the solos, using a "double" program, but combined with a very subtle synth part on the Modx to try and achieve the original sound Dennis got using his original 4-voice Oberheim way back then. Should probably put this on the Stage 4 forum, but I've attached the 2nd of two programs I use for this song, (the first is used only for the opening part with the left hand organ being a bit different). But most of the video's Nord parts use this one program.
