Hi everyone, I hope all of you are doing well. For those of you interested, I've posted a Stage 3 program with samples for "Peg" by Steely Dan that includes some of Michael McDonald's backing vocals. "Steely Dan - Peg W.nsmp" has the backing vocals on the low E1, F1, and F#1 keys and a modified sax to emulate the Lyricon. A separate "Lyricon" sample is provided if you'd rather not have the backing vocals. Using the two samples and two "pianos", a Stage 2 or Piano 5 program could easily be put together based upon my Stage 3 settings for the Rhodes and Clavinet. More information and program/samples can be found at nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files- ... 21984.html.

For Nord Electro and Piano folks especially, "SD Peg R Clav Lyr BV W.nsmp" below is a full NSMP sample based upon my Stage 3 program with backing vocals, Lyricon, Rhodes with phase shifter panned a little to the left, and Clavinet with flanger panned a little to the right. I applied vibrato and an LFO to the "F" note on the Lyricon so no AfterTouch or Mod Wheel is needed for the effect. A smaller NSMP is also provided without the backing vocals. For the MP3 below, I use hall reverb and a Clavinet from the piano section playing with the Lyricon; I'm playing along with tracks of the drums, bass, and guitar from Karaoke Version. The JPG below shows the mapping of the samples used. I hope some of you get some use out of these. Take care.
