Good evening everyone, does anyone have a program for this song? I'm not able to create that sound from the beginning. Thank you in advance

Hi Rfilipe,
do you mean this one: ?
If so - it's not so hard to realize:
You make a 4-zone-split
on the highest range you can lay out a sound for the seashore-roaring...: it's only white noise - so the patch in the synth-Library (6:44) "Winter Breeze" is a good starting point. You can use the second layer of that sound and duplicate it for a little lower pitch...The seashore-FX is morphed in by the wheel...
Then you use the two middle zones for the haunting guitar-sound...it's a heavy effected guitar in the original; I use an upright sound (baby or bambino...) and dial in a leslie, an ensemle-FX, a auto-Pan and a large reverb. I doubled it with only the percussion of the organ-section...
Then you can play it first with your left hand - following by the same chord with your right hand (F - Bb - dm - C...)
For the lowest zone I use another synth layer - a syn-piano-like sound...in the original there is a backward played guitar with the starting chord (F) , but with a slow attack (1,72 s) a quick decay and release you can get this swelling chord...
Regard - all this is "quick and dirty" (it needs on a NS4 only a half hour to get this result...for me)
And last but not least - here's the result as an audio-file and the referring NS4-patch...- hope you like it...
Cheers
Tim
P.S. I'm looking forward for your first result here in the forum - happy sound tweaking...!

Hi Tim, forgive my ignorance but how do you transfer the nsmp3 file into the Nord Sound Manager (version 9)? I am using a Mac Pro. Any help appreciated? Many thanks, Rowan

Hi Rowan,
it seems that there is a missunderstanding here: There are no sample-base-sounds used - all is created with the internal synth-engine of the NS4...I invite you to download the patch and load it into your NS4. Then you can examine the sounds (presssing the "Mon/copy"-button helps to read the values of all faders and knobs...).
Hope that helps
And transferring .nsmp3-files into the NS4 should be possible with the newest Soundmanager 9.14 - even converting whole NS3-programs...
