Looking for pad sound from "The Way It Is"

Post by MilanM-S »

Hey guys,

I am looking for the pad sound of the song The Way it is performed by Bruce Hornsby.
It is very clear in the intro, and I want to play it on the nord stage 2 ex.

Thanks in advance.

You can get pretty close to that sound from the synth engine on the NS2, though if you want a quickly available sample, check out either Warm Pad 1 or Warm Pad 2 from Nord's sample library here:

My "utility" program uses the WarmPad sample mentioned by ericL. The program can be found at --> nord-stage-2-programs-ns2p-ns2pb-files- ... 15752.html.
I hope this helps, take care.
