I hope everyone is doing well. A simple one but covering most of the bases, below is a sample I put together for "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Styx covering the Synth and sound effects. Listening to the MP3, the song starts with the sample on the low E key and holds through the initial couple bars to get the tempo, I then turn on the EP1 Piano on the low split and manually play the notes. I then add the upper filtered synth effect from the sample along with an overdriven guitar from the Stage 3. I turn off the EP1 Piano on the lowest split before ending the song - the low F# key has the clock ticking and the low F key has the ending clock slowing down. Fun song to do from the 80s. Take care. The Stage 3 program can be found at LINK--> nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files- ... ml#p142510

NOTE: Sample updated June 13, 2021 as some bass notes were not set to interpolate to adjacent notes (sorry) and an additional sample added "Styx Too Much Time WT.nsmp" for those who transpose a half step down in performance.
