Nord Stage 3 - Using Programs - Organizing, Modifying, and Saving New Programs 

I really appreciate this video. For a few weeks now, I have been on the fence about getting a Nord Stage 3, mostly due to three factors: 1) ignorance about how to navigate and manage the sound library; 2) intimidation of its many customizable features; and 3) the small size of the displays. Your video not only enlightened me, but also turned my intimidation into inspiration. With the amount of on-board customization, I don't feel like I need to resort to external VST's (virtual instruments) to get high-quality, customized sounds. And with a quick turnaround between setup and playing, I don't have to think about a complex I/O configuration between a DAW and a MIDI keyboard. But, if I want that option, it's there (with 5-pin MIDI I/O). I can just plug and play, not having to be concerned about a complex chain of I/O and multiple points of failure. There are many features that set the Nord Stage 3 apart -- too many, in fact, to list all of them here; but, having played one at our local Guitar Center, I was so impressed by three things: 1) the quality of its sounds; 2) its pristine playability (at least on the 88-key, hammer-action version that I played); and 3) the immediate access a keyboard player has to all customizable parameters, allowing you to get the exact sound you want for a particular patch. Thank you for taking the time to navigate us through these features!

Thanks, this was very useful, just replaced my Yamaha CP88 for a Nord Stage 3 - God Bless

Thank you so much for your channel and your videos which I am finding so helpful. I just got my NS3C last week and I have a LOT to learn. really appreciate your vids!

Using Sound Manager unravels the complexities of the Nord. Plug in all the Pedals connect your Laptop, connect CH1,2 CH3,4 to a Small Mixer and send this to the main mixer.

This video was a game changer for me! Much appreciated!!

Oh man all I can say is thank you soooo much sooo muchhhh man thank you🙏🏽

hey,could you maybe do a video on how to make a program with a soft dark pad,a bright pad and some rythmic pads? Pads that are used to fill in when playing in a band.

Thank you so much! This was very helpful!

AWESOME my friend...💯✨ Do you have any vid about MIDI Multi Channel about this beast???

BTW… Aloha and thanks for sharing this content. I’ve been finding it very helpful.

Awesome, thanks! 👏🏼

Amazing videos! Douglas, these videos are really helpful! I have a Question: is it possible to layer multiple samples in one program? Let's say, I have a bass guitar sample that I want to put on the bottom, piano in the middle and on top a Bass slide sample. So basically I want to use 2 (or more) samples from my sample bank in one program to play live. Or let's say I have received programs and samples that I want to mix into one program. I know with A and B, we can layer up to 6 instruments. Instead of an Organ, can I somehow use that bank to put the bass, or slide? Thanks a lot!

Thanks!!

Great video man - I am getting a nord stage 3 compact this wk and need some tips ;-)

Thank you, your videos help me🔥

Great video, thank you!

Nice one, helpful

Thank you...really helpful😊

Never been this early to a video :)

Thank you so much for these helpful videos! Would you be able to do a video on how to use Mainstage as an Extern on the Nord? I’ve tried connecting my laptop via USB but the Nord isn’t playing any of the Mainstage sounds and I can’t find anything on the internet to help me with this. I would very much appreciate it. Thank you so much for all your great content!

Where is the release for the Piano located if I wanted to make my release long/short?

Your content is really helpful! New NS3 owner here. Is there a way to skip over the empty bank slots while scrolling on the Nord?

Hi, good video. I've had my NS3 88 for 3 weeks now. Just curious, the factory programmes appear to have organ, piano and synth programmes mixed up but was wondering whether it would be best to have say bank A with just piano programmes, Bank B for Electric pianos etc etc . or have you just left things where they are and used Song mode to bring up your favourites? Just curious to see what others are doing. Unless you have a pretty good memory its just a little tricky to know where things are without playing each programme.

An intresting issue should be creating a splitted new program from an empty one Left an organ per example right a piano or pad

Hi! I'm planning to get a Stage 3 but I'm between the HP76 and the Compact. I'd like to go with the Compact because of weight and price, but I don't know if the keybed is decent enough to play Piano and EP parts with sensitivity. How do you feel the keybed for that purpose? Cheers from Barcelona! :)

When you program a new setting and you use transpose, will that save as well?

Do you know how to make a piano sound similar to one Maverick city uses?

Do you have a video that explains live mode?

With the last program you've made, I noticed the frequency in Synth Section was adjusted to 1, but say if I change to another program and messed with the frequency knob, if I want to switch back to the previous program you've made, will the frequency stay at 1? Does messing with the frequency knob in other programs change the settings you have saved in your last example?

hello bro can you help me whit that sound in minutes 9.25 hybrid super or you sell. i will be very grateful

Hello, is there a drum kit in this device?

🤩😮👑

Just one basic thing - how to DELETE a program (not write over) :) :D
