OK, they end up in reverse order ...


I have reprogrammed the last two patches for the NSC/EX:
http://www.norduserforum.com/nord-stage ... t2861.html

• Vox brute.MP3

• Accordeon.MP3

• SynStrings.MP3

• sus4-Pad.MP3

• Trombonish.MP3

Just a few ... nice, well made, very useful, good sounding progs !!! thank you.

Tried to load Trombonish and got "Unsupported version". Any ideas?

OS version mismatch.
Which version are you running?

Revision B os v1.40

You need to upgrade to 1.60! Programs format has changed and it is not backwards compatible

PS: also update your Nord Sound Manager to the latest version

How did you make the synths string sound?

If you want to analyse how a synth sound is constructed you can press and hold shift and turn the knobs of the synthesizer. The display then shows the corresponding parameters without changing the values.
Switch off all the effects (including unison) and listen to just one slot. That gives you an idea of how a patch works.

This particular sound consist of two layers: slot A and B
Slot A produces the essential attack part that would let you recognize it as strings, slot B thickens the sound to make it also a pad sound.

A:
String attacks are usually created by an envelope modulating the filter cutoff frequency by a short decay time.
Here I’ve added waveform modulation (shapeable sawtooth) done by the same envelope to increase the violin attack impression.
The whole thing is multiplied by the unison function and the chorus-fx.
To broaden the stereo image I used the pingpong delay.

B:
This part is not necessarily supposed to be good sounding taken by itself. It should rather add components the A-part is missing.
So I used permanent waveform modulation by LFO to make sure any interferences between A and B wouldn’t lead to frequency cancellations.
I used a slower attack time, different filter characteristic, different delay-fx and some EQ.

If you compare slot A and B playing just single notes you’ll notice how different the slots actually sound.
A bunch of fiddle players all having their own sound …

Cheers

Would it be possible to recreate it on the EX? If so all I would need is the whole large? list of parameters.Most of all ,thankyou for that information.

It certainly would

At the moment I still have a NS2 and my "old" NSEX that I'll sell very shortly.
So I reprogrammed the patch and added it to http://www.norduserforum.com/nord-stage ... t2861.html

Have fun !
