The sounds at 3:10 aren't accurate. There's actually a Square wave creeping in. The upper Octaves have voices that are wildly out of tune, but somehow they work when mixed in the track. The last time in the top Octave also has some Echo from Delay. I actually use Samples lifted from the multitrack. The actual sounds make a world difference.
@horowizard Thank you for the detailed feedback here. I didn't realize all these subtleties, but I can certainly appreciate them. Obviously, nothing is better than having the actual tracks for this and making samples. But at the end of the day, we get close by using the native synth, and it's a good "lesson-learning" experience. What's excellent about Nord is that you can have your cake and eat it too by having both the native synth option and the sample option at your fingertips. Cheers! 👍
How many times have I listened to this song and I never knew there were all these Moog lines on it! I had to listen again, and sure enough, there they are (plus a lot of other thing I never noticed... is that a guitar through a Leslie?). The filter slowly opening up is another great sonic detail.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was making this video (about how many times I've heard this song but never realized what was hiding under the covers). I'm not sure about the guitar through a Leslie but I would believe anything. These guys experimented with EVERYTHING in 1969. You should read the Wikipedia on it - it's very interesting. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you so much for putting this together!! I plan on recording a video of this song with my latest project - I will report back with these patches in use! So happy to support a great channel
This sounds so accurate. I was wondering if you could do a video like this for Maxwells silver hammer because I’m pretty sure that song uses a moog. Thanks!
@FctHvn Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't heard the song Maxwells in forever, so it was a nice trip down memory lane listening to it just now. And like here comes the sun, I was surprised to hear how many different synth sounds are also used. And I believe you are correct; it also sounds like a Moog to my ears. At this time, however, I don't plan to do a video for Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but it's another prime example of the Beatles experimenting with the synth in a tasteful way.

Well done! Timely too. I’m an NS3 owner/player. A periodic gig is playing and charting for concerts featuring George Harrison’s music. Query: Have you separated tracks to reference or, like me, have you been using your ears and an app like Transcribe!?
Hello @Jean-Pierre Garau Thanks for your comment and question. It's nice to meet someone who is so well-versed with George Harrison's music. Truth be told, making these sounds was made a touch easier as there was a video that already had the synth parts isolated here: ua-cam.com/video/NAiNvG-JXsg/v-deo.html But in most other cases, I have to just use my ears to pick out sounds and recreate them on the NS3 and NW2. For learning how to play music, I also use an App on the Mac called "Capo" which can slow music down to 1/4 speed for those very quick and tricky passages one needs to learn from time to time (ua-cam.com/video/hKn_ovlw4nI/v-deo.html). So to sum up your question, yes, 90% of the time I use the original music and my ears to make the sounds and analyze the performance for playback. Oh, of course, I will also invest in the sheet music as needed depending on the song. I also have a "Chordify" account for learning chords or to have as a reference when I'm playing along with something. There are a LOT more tools for musicians these days than there were in 1985 when I first started playing electronic keyboards in a group. I'm sure you understand this yourself - so many changes over the years (mostly for the better).
Hello again @Jean-Pierre Garau I understand you do charting for concerts featuring George Harrison's music. Well, wanted to make sure you saw my latest George Harrison video here since you are surely a big fan of George's music: ua-cam.com/video/JAJv36GxlG4/v-deo.html
Hello @Lauri Hirsto Great request! Luckily, this one is already discoverable here: ua-cam.com/video/KUh48N1zv8A/v-deo.html and made commercially available here in this song pack: www.synthcloud.net/products/fpl001-25-sounds-making-history-vol-1-nord-stage-3?_pos=1&_sid=83ec20bb0&_ss=r (FYI Neither of these links/ resources were created by me). Hope that helps get you started!
Wow!! Incredible!!
@joshscus Thank you Josh!

You did a great job in getting all of these sounds from the Stage 3.
Thank you Thomas! Appreciate the comment...

Hi! Can you do this video but for NS4 users? Thanks a lot!

Can you do a tutorial of the Van Halen 1984 synth bass growl sound?
