J3PO Sound Bank NS3

About

"Many of the patches in this sound bank are influenced by classic and contemporary retro funk, soul, hip-hop, and R&B genres. Some of the sounds was created with inspiration from my collection of analog synths and pedals, and what was really fun to discover was that I could create a lot of these sounds using just the Nord Stage 3 itself."

The J3PO Sound Bank is divided into 6 different categories:

  1. Vinyl/Lo-Fi keyboards
  2. Hip-Hop/The Lesson
  3. Retrowave/80s Synths
  4. Weird Things 5. Leads/Arps/Miscellaneous
  5. Bass + Keys patches. 

To make the most out of the patches make sure to explore the Morphs assigned to the Modulation Wheel, Control Pedal and AfterTouch!
