Need a Split or layering setup for Toto’s song AFRICA

Post by paulzarvis »

Hello:
I’m playing with several bands and am saving song setups in Song Mode. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for either Layering and/or split keyboard setup for Toyo’s song Africa.
The initial sound is easy. Got that. Also I sampled the percussive answer and imported it into my stage 3.
My question is does anyone have a good A/B setup for the SOLO Section? If so please let me know. If you’d be so kind.
Thanks

Hi Paul, I have 4 Stage 3 programs for Africa posted Here including the solo. I hope it works out for you. Take care.

I hope WannitBBBad’s suggestion works for you. I worked out a VERY complicated program for that song for another brand of gear, it was a LOT of work.

I'd love to use this sound, but I've got a Stage 4. What's the deal? Is there any way to import it to the newer keyboard?

I did try in the sound manager but the file was greyed out in the browser.

Hello, Stage 3 programs can't be loaded on a Stage 4, however I have a NSMP sample covering the intro and verses that just needs a Marimba added on a piano layer. The solo in my program uses the Marimba along with a flute sample provided with my Stage 3 programs. Add organ to go with the brass for the Chorus. As there's currently a bug with Nord Sound Manager, you can't convert a NSMP file to NSMP4 format, however a Stage 4 owner successfully converted one simply by renaming a NSMP file to NSMP3 and then loading it with NSM. You can also try the sample converter posted Here.

Toto Africa NSMP.
