Hello, I'm looking for a slide guitar sound for my NS4. There are many NS3 programs available, but none of them work on my Stage 4 -- I'm guessing that this has to do with the fact that pitch morphing went away after the Stage 3.

Does anyone have anything good for the Stage 4?

Thanks!
Bryan

Hi, Bryan-

Just choose an acoustic or electric guitar sample, or perhaps both layered together. The key to realism is idiomatic playing. You will need to learn the intervals and bends that are used by a steel guitar player. The actual sound is less important than the playing style-

The pitch morphing is available to some extent but not as easily as on the Stage 3 as a fixed target (2 semitones for example) cannot be set. I cover how to do it with the Control Pedal at viewtopic.php?t=25933 and you can take the same approach with Aftertouch. It's easier and more flexible to bend notes with the pitch bar to learn the style as noted by DJKeys. Attached is a pedal steel sample if you want to try it with an amp model and drive. Depending on the sound you're looking for, sometimes a sawtooth wave can be used instead of a sample, and adding reverb and a little delay helps as well. I hope that helps, good luck.
