Stage setting for the song "What  Lovers Do" by Maroon 5. 
 
Four zones:
 
Marimba for the intro
A brass (heavily filtered with a lot of digital delay) so the solo, and the beginning of verses
A warm string pad
A synth lead bit for the end of each verse

Stage setting for Blue Oyster Cult's Burning for You
4 zones
Lowest - Rock guitar for intro bit
Low - mid - Ahhs ( original has vocoder so semi-authentic)
High - mid - synth brazz
High - guitar - good for harmonizing with lead player

Stage setting for Evil Woman. Play distorted clavinet with left hand (lower register). Upper register is transposed rock piano and strings. Start with sliders 1,2,3 on zero. When break with phased string sound comes in, move slider 1,2,3 to maximum and play that bit, then move the sliders 1,2,3 back to zero for remaining verse and chorus.

A stage setting for Steve Miller's Swingtown. Keyboard split with organ piano in lower register and synthesizer in upper. Use initially with slider 1 and 2 at lowest setting. With slider 1 and 2 at lowest setting the synthesizer is the nice "round" Moog sound, then move slider 1 and 2 to maximum and the "round" Moog sound is replaced with the buzzy vibrato synthesizer sound.

Stage setting for Pick up the Pieces. Good for band with one guitar player (playing rhythm bit) and no horn section. Lower register the plucked guitar sound, higher register is the horns. Might also be a nice setting to augment real horns.

Stage setting with three keyboard sections:
1. Wurly
2. Rhodes
3. Synth lead

Stage setting for performing Super Freak. Split keyboard with bottom rock piano and top is synthesizer.

This is my first effort at a Stage Setting for Uptown Funk. The top end of the keyboard is brass (mix of Brass Section and Trumpet). The lower part is for the "cheezy" synth after the "Don't belive me just watch". Slider 6 is assigned to portamento speed. Before the sweep (the bit with Uptown Funk gonna bring it to you) hit a low "D", then move the slider to portamento speed about 90-100. Then hit a "D" a few octaves above and enjoy the "sweep"...
Someone more clever might have three distinct parts but I got the most I could out of having one split point. Hope this helps someone covering the song!
