I'm looking for some good Pink Floyd sounds to upload on my Nord E3 but I find only sounds or patches for Nord Stage and they seem to be unusable for Nord E3
Can you help me ?

Thank you so much

What sort of sounds do you want? The stock sound of early Floyd is a Farfisa Compact Duo with a Binson echo unit through a WEM valve amp. You'll need the Farfisa setting with bass, flute 8 and 2 2/3 - maybe oboe as well. Give that lots of delay and a bit of overdrive, and you'll sound like the opening of "Careful with that Axe, Eugene".

After that, a piano through a fast Leslie will give you the start of Echoes and a Hammond on 888600000 with 2nd harmonic will give you the next bit. A Wurlitzer + wah is good for Money.

Here are some drawbarsettings for Pink Floyd songs.

Thank you so much for these setting I'm lerning to play all songs from Dark Side of the Moon and also Shine on your crazy Diamonds , I Wish you were here, The Wall, Comfortably numb, Hey You, Mother, Is Anybody Out There, High Hopes.
It's a lot of work for me and I thank you for your valuable help.
All the best Carlos

bon courage Carlos !

l'avantage avec les lignes de Rick Wright, c'est que c'est en général pas d'une technicité folle. Niveau son par contre, c'est autre chose

le souci c'est que tu vas vite être coincé sur un NE3, car par exemple pour Shine il te faut à la fois un son de Solina String machine et un son de Moog pour la voix Lead, les deux sont dispos dans la sample library et sonnent très bien, mais comme le NE3 est monotimbral, tu es coincé ... il te faut soit un 2ème NE3, soit un Nord Stage

Well, I like Nord but there's another (cheaper) alternative:

a cheap 49 keys midi controller and an expander with nice strings and moog sounds like Roland's JV-1010 ...

Thanks so much for these.
Are they all B3 settings or are any for Vox or Farfisa ?
