• Jump Motif patch.mp3

We sometimes do 'Jump' in our band and my patches never sounded 'BIG' enough. Over time I sculpted this sound, which seemed to work well live with our set up. I doubled the octave on the low C for a start.

There is actually another very nice 'Jump' sound on here that is probably more accurate than mine - but I found my sound worked for us live, perhaps it would for others!

Here recorded with a bit of 'Hall' Reverb on the NE3.

Funny, we just practiced this one tonight...But I'm using two sounds; One on my stage 2 found on this forum and one on my Matrix 1000...I can tell you, it's big, the guitarist always says "Philippe, not too loud..."

Nice! Yes, I found I needed those extra layers too - I guess on the studio version they could make it big in the mix even with a simple sound.

One this i forgot to sample was the high C string note over the chorus. I might add that in. Do you do that ? It seemed to make a big difference too

On the original recording I believe they re-amped the Oberheim through a bunch of guitar amps.

It's not only a C on Strings, during the bridge it's a complete part but I just do it on my D50 which is on top of the Stage 2 and I hold the sustain pedal and put a long release...it works well, you just have to have a good timing with your Right hand, between the C/D/G last chord on "Brass" and the first G/B/D...a little bit tricky but I do it...I do the same for the "pedal note" on Bb on Purple Rain, at the end...

Right I'm going to have to give it another listen now! Sounds like you have it down nicely:)

Noceee!

hi Accordionman, your Jump sound is awesome, fits in very well in the band context. Thanks for posting . Let it rock, ROGER

Thanks a lot for the amazing patch!

Newbie q. here! How do I get the Jump sound to work? Do I simply drag and drop the .nsmp file using the Nord Sound Manager to the Nord Electro keyboard?
