Son Of Flynn
By Jim in Song Ready Stage Settings
There was a question this week on the Facebook group requesting something from Tron Legacy. So here goes...
Stage setting for the song "Son of Flynn" by Daft Punk from the Tron Legacy soundtrack. I have a 9 year old son obsessed with this movie (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree since I was a teenager when the original Tron came to the theaters and was a fan ever since).
Use slider 2 to control volume on the horns. The trick with the right hand is to not over think the chords but use only triads to keep with the arpeggiator programmed to the song style using tertiary arpeggios.

Came To My Rescue
By Jim in Song Ready Stage Settings
Stage setting for "Came To My Rescue" by Hillsong United. Sliders 1 to 4 control each zone's volume. I usually leave the Warm Pad on zone 1 alone and adjust up zone 2 Rock Organ and raise/lower zones 3 and 4 to suit. Here's the soundcloud link: https://soundcloud.com/jdiddly/came-to-my-rescue
This SS also makes for a nice pad with control of the drive rotary speed via DSP parameter change on the rock organ zone by use of the modulation wheel. The mod wheel only affects zone 2/rock organ.

She Drives
By Jim in Song Ready Stage Settings
This is a stage setting for a song about a lady that drives some cannibals crazy. These cannibals were fine and young.
The drum tone has been uploaded as well. It was in drum user 20 slot entitled "She Drives". The drum tone will be in zone 1 of the stage setting. It has been disabled in zone 1 of the stage setting since it will only be necessary for the phrase (also uploaded as "She Drives"). The common setting for this stage setting has a tempo setting of 109 (tap tempo set to original artist recording), and the phrase is the "She Drives" phrase attached and placed in user 108.
There were two parts in creation of this stage setting that were particularly fun to tweak. The first was the snare pop modified on the drum file (pull up the tone from the data editor and you will note the DSP has been intentionally disabled on note E2 "power snare", and the note has been tweaked on the coarse and fine tune settings to provide the tightened tenor snare sound).
The second challenge was to modify the zone 2 hex layer to provide a zone split within the hex layer. You will note the various key ranges on the 6 layers to facilitate this task. The layers within the hex tone are as follows:
1) Gm Sweep Pad
2) ElecPiano2 1
3) Clean Guitar
4) OverdriveGt2
5) OverdriveGt2
6) GMOverdrive2
Sliders 1 through 6 control the layer volumes for each layer in the order as per above. The DSP was intentionally disabled on the first two layers since the effect is distortion. It took some adjustment of the Amp envelope on the GM Sweep Pad to come in faster on the sweep to match the original recording. It also required the 4 different guitar layers with modified Amp envelopes to more effectually cover the various gates and compression of the distorted guitar tracks throughout the song (especially the intro distortion guitar part). Using the volume sliders pulled down on slider 2 and slider 4 during the intro part allow you to cut those parts initially, but remember to boost them in time for the chorus!
In conclusion, the stage setting is set up as follows:
Zone 1: drums in zone 1 (only for the phrase with zone 1, disabled).
Zone 2 (key range / Eb2 to B5): the hex layer is in zone 2 (split into two zones itself with a lower zone for the DX FM patch, no DSP, layered with the 4 guitars with varying amps and distortion, in addition to the upper zone GM sweep pad, no DSP).
Zone 3 (key range / C-1 to D2): synth bass 3
Zone 4 (key range / C6 to G9): clean guitar (a little delay for DSP just like the intro and recurring verses / octave guitar D)
It really helps to pull this one up in the data editor to see all the splits and tweaks. This was a fun project showing just how versatile the PX-5S can be when used as a synth and workstation!

Rock Of Ages
By Jim in Song Ready Stage Settings
Three stage settings for "Rock of Ages" by Charlie Hall. Here is the soundcloud link: https://soundcloud.com/jdiddly/rock-of-ages
As an added bonus: the first stage setting can be used to play "What A Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers. I like to get the drummer in my band going on that and its a running joke sometimes at practice sessions.

The Stand
By Jim in Song Ready Stage Settings
Two stage settings for the song "The Stand" by Hillsong United. The first file is the pad setting. Sliders 1 - 6 control layer volumes for each of the six layers in the hexlayer tone in zone 1. Knob 4 turns on/off the distortion guitar in zone 3. This zone (distortion guitar) has an automated arpeggiator set to the note A7. Knob 3 controls the zone 4 volume for the EP also with an automated arpeggiator set to the note A7. You will note the Arpeggiator Hold is turned on for the stage setting. Zone 2 is for another EP on the notes F#6 and C#7.
The second file is like the "pad" file above only it adds in piano in zone 3 in lieu of the distortion guitar. The arpeggiator is turned off on this stage setting, but will still arpeggiate the EP like in file 1 as above if needed.
