Nord User Forum

Hi to everyone-

I have been busy learning to program my new Access Virus, so I haven't been on the forum much lately. I did do some extensive synth programming recently for an 80s band, so I thought I would share some of the patches with you. The first is for Major Tom (what a fun song to play for a keyboardist!)

The first patch loads with slot A enabled. This works for the opening synth riff. It also can be used for the D-G stab during the verses. Slot B is the synth pad during the chorus.
The second patch is the take-off effect. I would program it next door to the first one, as it has to be a quick switch. Hit A-E in the second octave, hold it down and then the same two notes three octaves above. It will last exactly as long as the second part of the chorus and will end right before the synth riff comes in again.

Enjoy!

Hi Dj,

I am very much interested in your work. I loaded you program files on my NS2EX, but no samples (except for P5 Saw Unison) are available for my Nord. Any ideas how to share your samples oder files for a NS2? Thanks in advance for your support.

Regards,
Keys Richards

Hi, Keys-

Your NS2EX should be able to load all of the Version 2 samples from the Nord Sample Library:

Hope this helps-

Hi Dj,
did you create the program for Stage 3 also? And would you share it?

Hi, Thomas-

I have not created the patch for the NS3 as I have not had to play that song in a long time-

Hi DJ,

do you also have the file as a NSMP and if yes, could you please share it?

Best,
Björn

Hi-

I never used a sample for that except the factory Prophet P5 saw unison. It has been 5 years, so I don't have a file for that song anymore-

Hi does anyone have the NS3 patch for Major Tom?

Many thanks!!

Hi,

you can download DJKey’s program for the Stage 2 (see first post here) and then load it into the Nord File Viewer (link is in my signature below). That will show you all settings of the program which will help you to re-create it on your Stage 3
