Hi JethroJr18,

have you ever tried to dial in the different rhodes-sounds of the NS4 (I think in this track it's near "raw" = without any modulation effect; and a slight synth-split in verse 2 plus additional strings-split)...? It's not so difficult to figure it out...
By the way - you've started many requests to various songs - but you've never respond to any of them - what a pity...

Regards
Tim

Hey Tim, thanks so much for the reply! No I've never tried to upload the different Rhodes sounds, are these sounds that are already in there or need to be manually downloaded? Also, things that are "not so difficult to figure out" for you might be a different level of difficulty for me or someone else, just something to bear in mind :).

Thanks for the reply!

Hi Jethro,
glad to see that you've responded... :D
Yeah, the most sounds I use are 'stock' sounds - you can find here the standard factory soundset for your device:

(Section 'Factory Sound banks')
I've added only a few to mine - the most can be found at the sounds-section of the official Website...

Cheers
Tim

Hi Jethro,

it’s really not difficult to recreate the sound. In the Electric Piano Section, select EP8 "Nefertiti"—you don't need to download it, it's already factory-installed. In the EQ Section, remove a lot of bass and add a little treble, switch on Phaser 1 in the Effect Section, add a little drive if necessary, and you're done.

...and in addition to daniel70's Post

you can add a split for the sounds beginning at verse2:

- the rhodes for the lower part
- a saw-based synth (like in the synth presets No. 3:19 'sjmple saw') for the upper part
- alternatively a string patch for switching back and forth via the scene layer II-button
(sustain pedal only active for the strings)
