Just got the NE6. Love it. However most of the synths do not interest me. I'm looking for the Cars' Just What I Needed lead synth, and stuff like that.
I tried the Nord Library--still lukewarm Is there something in there I'm missing? Or is there a good third party thing to grab?
Thanks!

hi,
this is for Nord Stage 3, but i think you can replicate the sound with the Electro 6

NE6 is not really capable of that sound. The board lacks portamento (glide) and a mono mode and a modulation function/control. NE6 functions well as a piano, organ, and sample player, but it's "synth" functions are extremely limited. You could either supplement your NE6 with a synth, or, since you just got the NE6, if it's an option, you may want to consider returning it and getting a board that does what you need from the NE6 but also does synth.

Nope. Every NS3 control he uses there does not exist in the NE6. NS3 has a full synth section, NE6 does not.

If you really want that sound, On 13:10 he said: The original Keyboard was a "MINIKORG 700" analog Synthesizer
or just buy the NS3 and you can do a lot more....

Just in case you are not aware of the "hidden" archive library, here is a link: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... g-minimoog
Lots of other synth samples on the left column. As it is mentioned before, there will be a limitation regarding modulations but that's how the sample synth engine of the electro works. You will need a stage or wave inorder to take full advantage.

Awesome---This is great. Most of the stuff i play is AP,EP,Clav, and B-3. So if I can get even close on the synthy stuff, its all good!

Realize this post is a bit old now but I have a Motif XS Rack that has songs from The Cars, The Who and other patches via a 3rd party library that I’ll be triggering from my E6D.

How bizarre! I signed in tonight specifically to find a way to do the Just what I needed sound and then your post was the first I saw. The replies kind of confirmed what I suspected, so I’m probably going to use main stage and just use a moot sound from Arturia assigned to the Nord for that one.
