Hi!

We have a gigi coming up where we're supposed to play Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer and Pointer Sisters' I'm so excited. Has anybody made good programs for either/both of those popular songs?

I'm looking for the keyboard, piano, organ, synth etc. stuff.

Thank You!

ps. I can't decide what to play in the chorus of I'm so excited. It has piano, synth and an organ. I know this might be a bit off topic but any help would be appreciated!
ps2. I also have a expression pedal which I've found to be extremely helpful.

I have a patch I created for Living on a Prayer, I will post it after work. The top split is the synth during the verses, the bottom plays the synth power chords. I used both sounds for the chorus.

Sorry this took so long. Here is the patch for NS2. In the intro, the synth notes E-F#-B-E are held on the upper split. The power synth chords get played on the lower.

The staccato chords for the verse get played on the upper split, and I used both hands playing both sounds for the chorus.

Hope it works for you.

Hi,
does anyone has Livin' on a prayer also for the stage ex?
I' m using the standard NS Ex program 8:4, with an e-piano, but I'm not very pleased with that one.

Thanks

How about the vocoder bass at the start, that doubles with the bass guitar (oo-wah-oo-wah etc) for the distinctive riff... does anyone have something like this?

Why don't just add the wah effect to it and morph the wah amount with a pedal?

That's not a vocoder. It's a talk box.

Here's a sample of the isolated track for LoaP. It may be useful, if only for your guitarist to practice with his new talk box you bought him

• oowah.mp3

And this is the sample in .nmsp format, C4, looped.

Thanks - i couldn't be bothered to search for the loop point and connect up my NS2 when I posted last night
My idea was to put that on a key right at the low end, and put another synth (or guitar) in the playable range. Then you essentially have 2 instruments in one slot. You can trigger the note with the oohwah sample on it via a midi device - maybe a pedal or an iPad with a banana on it* OK, I don't expect anyone to really try this live, but if you do, you HAVE to post a video!!

(*bananas work like fingers on iPads - try it if you don't believe me!)
