Good morning all
Just wondering if anyone can help me out with obtaining the sounds needed for this song for the Stage 4. I was just asked to fill in with a very well known band for a charity benefit for autistic children the other day and accepted and have first rehearsal tonight and have not even had a chance to try to find something remotely close have just been trying to learn the songs in time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Daddy Cool,

this is a simple solution (not like the muse-one in another thread..):
You can play it with a split - low part uses the synth engine (Sample - Orfeo Accordeon 3 - it´s a stock sound: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/wt/api/ma ... on/8/1188/), the high part uses also the synth engine (Sample - String Multi (in the String Solo-Category) even a stock sound: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/wt/api/ma ... ion/8/687/). Only a little bit tweaked with some EQ, chorus and a volume-morph by aftertouch to make it more expressive...

If it is too boring to play the whole song those sample instruments, I've created in the layer scene II a layer with the baby grand-Piano sound and a little bit of hammond... only to comp with the guitar and the rest of the band.

Then you can easy swith between them to throw in the Violin-/Accordeon-Licks and switch to a common accomp-sound... :-)

Hope you like it (just added a little drumtrack from EZ Drummer3)

Cheers
Tim

Thanks for the Cherry bomb I think it will do just fine.
As for the other post that you replied to (Don't you forget about Me) I use it and it sounds great and plus I can keep it to just bringing one board to a smaller gig or rehearsal
Thanks so much
