The left hand is made from a saw wave (that was the challenge for me, not to use sample this time !)
The right hand is using "DX7IIC Jazz Guitar_ste BR.nsmp" from Nord's library and "EP5 bright tines" from the EPianos.

Hi Helmuth
I have the NS EX88, therefore all the samples are not compatible files for my piano.
Do you know what sounds and/or settings you used to achieve the Toy Piano sample? Any help would be great, so I can try create my own on the EX.
Thanks for your help. Regards!
Tracey

the "toy piano" on Africa is an instrument called a Kalimba, if you can find somebody to sample that....it's pretty common on Korg Tritons, Yamaha Motifs, and Roland Fantoms.

Or you can use the NS2 Marimba sample with some EQ
On the NS EX you can try to get it using FM on the Synth section! Find a similar sound from the Synth presets of the NS an try tweaking it!

The .nsmp file is a sample.
The other .ns2p file is a Stage 2 program file.

Hi all,
I'm very new to the stage 2, i have it for a few days.
I downloaded the sample and the program and they are very nice!
I was wondering if there is also a sample for the flute (i guess) wich is played in the Solo.
Is it possible to insert this as a third split. I'm still very 'nooby' with the stage 2.
Greetz,
Jelle
