Electric Light Orchestra - Telephone Line

Hi everyone, I hope all of you are doing well during this odd time. Below are a few programs and samples I put together for "Telephone Line" by ELO. The intro program uses the Control Pedal for the wah effect placed on the synth, the verse program has strings on the left hand so the low piano notes can be easily added, and the chorus program uses the Control Pedal to add in strings an octave higher than the other strings during the manual arpeggio. There's a Rhodes used lightly with effects in all three. I've also provided two samples, the one used in the program has the full electronic intro on the low keys and the C2 note and above just have the telephone for the middle of the song (1st MP3 example below); the other sample is a little smaller if you don't want the full intro (2nd MP3 example below). I couldn't find a telephone sample that matched the song, so I took another, changed the pitch, tone duration and period between tones to get closer to the original. BTW, the MP3 didn't record well, so there's some line noise in the long intro that won't be in the actual sample. The WAV file is also attached below if you want to play around with it in the Sample Editor. The versatility of the Stage 3 comes out in this one. Take care.

As a fan of this song, I just wanted to say that this is an amazing recreation. I don't have the Stage 3, just the Stage Classic. When I do upgrade this will be one of the first things I grab.
