Sitar sample

Post by SteveM »

Is there a Sitar sample available? I am new to the Stage 3 and I am on the learning curve. I'm hoping one would be available for Strawberry Fields, Signed Sealed Delivered and other songs.

Great thanks. I did download the sample and convert it. It seems to have a sweet spot around middle C. And it sounds better with the sustain pedal. I couldn’t find a way to keep the sustain pedal on automatically if it is possible. One less thing to think about. Thanks again.

Hey SteveM: To automatically sustain a synth sound on NS3, press the KB HOLD key (turns on Keyboard Hold). Then save with the program.

Another option is to set the MOD ENV and AMP Release levels around 2 o'clock and adjust as needed from there. Take care

Maybe bumping up the AmpEnv release will achieve a similar effect. Or a bit of reverb. With sustain pedal or hold you may run into some undesirable polyphony effects.
