The pads are from NS3 synth. There are the two pad presets on the Final Pad 2 patch.

These two presets are sampled as one for the left hand pad of "Final lead".

For the lead sound, I probably read the same Europe interview as you.
I used the JX-8p sample from this forum and, on it, I add a "kind of horn" custom patch I did on the NS3 synth.
The result was quite good, so I sample it to do one and only sample in order to use it with a pad for the left hand.

Unfortunately, it is not as good as the original lead with the two NS3 synth layers but it still works.

The main difficulty is to always keep a good output level on the samples coming out of the nord sample editor.

Re: Final Countdown Patch Sample Playback

Hi Ivan, is there a way I can get hold of this sound in a wav or sound format? I have been searching for the countdown sound online and can't find it anywhere as a vst or as a plug in. I'd certainly pay but it seems no one has thought to make it - except if you own a special keyboard. I am not particularly a keyboard player, so it would be a waste to buy a synthesiser just for one sound. Can you help?

kind regards

Hello, it means that Nord Sound Manager could not find a NSMP3 sample that is used in a Program you have loaded. Check the post and files below it for NSMP3 files. If this is your first time loading samples, you may need to delete some samples currently in your Stage 3 to make room for others. The NS2 and NS3 Program Viewer, posted at nord-stage-forum-f3/ns3-program-viewer-t19939.html, will allow you to view all parameters of any Stage 2 or Stage 3 program. Using it to view the Program getting the "sample not found" error, you will be able to find out which sample the Program needs. Take care.
