Why The Nord Stage 3 & Wave 2 Are a Session Musicians Keyboard of Choice! ft. Dave Tench

[@TomGillardMusic]

Jack Duxbury AND Dave Tench!?!?!? Andertons you outdid yourselves 👏👏

[@LemonJelly360]

That was magnificent. I didn’t understand 99% of it but I don’t care. Seeing people, two in this case, who are great at their craft is awesome.

[@modalmixture]

I've had my beloved Stage3 for two years and this makes me appreciate it even more, seeing how a professional is using features that I'd overlooked. Nord gives you a wealth of raw material and the ability to quickly shape it to your taste.It's probably the most fun, hands-on keyboard I've ever owned.

[@johnnulf624]

I would absolutely buy Dave's analogue samples! My mind was blown from the first note he hit of the OB8 sample. Every patch was so rich and warm. If he decides to release, you should promote his packs so I know where to find them.

[@dannyjames4216]

Yes yes yes….I would buy them too!

[@PastorJoshuaSizemore]

No kidding, PLEASE do

[@johngilbert184]

Ditto

[@jakehendriksen2841]

I'm just a guy from the States who's never seen this channel, nor watched Dave on the UK's The Voice, but man what a great video! Dave seems to be so chill for being on a major show; just two talented guys discussing something they love! And beyond the talent and helpful discussions, is just the simple and obvious excitement you both have for the subject matter. It's contagious!

[@arthurmcevoy2799]

This is exactly what I wanted to see on this channel! Keep it up !!

[@robin_5099]

A damn fine video. As someone who knows nothing about this particular subject, I still found it an incredibly interesting one. Hat off to everyone involved, especially to you Jack and Dave.

[@wilkopiano]

David tench, the musical genius brains behind the voice. How he and his team makes such accurate backing tracks in a very short space of time. This is highly commendable and takes serious dedication and many more back room hours than the singers.

[@tylerthompson1842]

I know Jacks incredibly modest about his playing because he’s around so many great musicians all the time, but he’s a phenomenal player. I’ve never heard him make a bad choice... everything he plays is so tasteful and perfect for the moment.

[@DojoOfCool]

Thank you Jack for all your videos especially the ones that Nord are in or mentioned. I just bought my first Nord, it's everything I wanted and expected. Nord needs to give you a NS3 you're there best salesperson.

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

You made my night, sitting under Montana skies listening to you play

[@inter-linked]

This was great. I just bought an NS3 from Andertons, all thanks to watching Jack & guests. Great videos & vibes. I don’t even play the piano! The NS3 is a beauty. Time to learn. Keep up the great work.

[@ktvideoproductions]

Same here (from Sweetwater over here in the states). I was so anti-Nord for so long (out of ignorance). Guess I'm one of the "gullible" now. HAHA!

[@samueltiradovillaescusa2325]

when I see a 46 minute video I just open a beer and enjoy. Thank you for this!

[@tunamusic6540]

David Tench's Nord Stage / Nord Lead Sound Package is needed!!

[@AvalynGirl]

Love seeing how a pro uses the Nord Stage 3. Our church got one so I get to play it for a week once every month or two. I’ll usually set up 4 patches for the set and use the A/B panels when I need pad on a keyboard hold or if I want to switch quickly from a soft background pad to a solid accompaniment sound. There’s so much to it... I can’t even look at a basic digital piano anymore.

[@neocortexlab]

no music videos on your chanel ... play live!

[@cansticksandjettkids9431]

I love that "we'll absorb the hate and turn it into love". I am going to sample that into my Stage3 when I get it! Thanks for the informative vid and the most wonderful quote.

[@eugeneprystupa5075]

This is such an awesome video full of applicable tricks that I will start using today. Been playing the Nord for years and knew quite a bit about the board, but never thought to use the pedal is such a creative way with the EQ assign. Compressor trick was also great! Thank you!

[@neilbissett1240]

I have seen will young many times with Dave as he’s keyboard player and musical director he’s simply brilliant thanks again too you both it’s a great video ......

[@Skepta12]

This video is everything I ever needed with my new Electro 6D

[@juniorlucio]

That was impressive. I wasnt aware of how much powerful Nord Wave 2 is. Thanks for that! I will purchase one now.

[@elleondejuda4681]

I just buy a Nord stage 3 and so far I like it , don’t know much about programming this giant but I’m learning how to use this babe. This Piano is definitely amazing, is a machine!

[@NateHorn]

Man what a jam at the start!!!

[@soundtechnology]

Love this video, always find myself coming back!

[@edeinsiedler3020]

Interesting that Matt Johnson was mentioned. Can you get him on the channel?

[@Lorneplumber]

Matt has just started another channel off his main channel that looks interesting

[@enricolongo242]

Matt don't use nords)

[@JayKay0245]

Cracking video, we’ll done guys!!

[@stephenmorgan5100]

I just recieved the STage Three Grand, I love it, it has a fabulous keyboard feeling

[@tripplejman24]

Mannn that intro collab was CRAZYYYYY! Wished yall kept going

[@Jose1maneZ]

Inspiring!! Thanks!!!

[@whiskeymike7364]

Great video, thank you! I bought a Wave 2 yesterday (23 Nov 2020) and am listening to reviews and ad hoc performances like this one. I have watched and liked Jack's videos before, but this one with Dave is a standout.

[@elwhagen]

Your content is always amazing. I just love the love for music you both show!

[@LouPezza]

Just brilliant thanks fellas …..

[@tobysaunders1462]

Just had an idea to sample Keyscape into my Nord. Wish me luck lol

[@ManCalledMif]

great insights, gear and skills. 46 minutes flew by. 👏🏼🎧

[@obwanz1921]

Great stuff. Yeah, had done the same thing by sampling my OB8 and other analogs into my NS3 a few years ago. Killin!

[@peterx1334]

Again, you deliver a you tube reference video for posterity. Well done Jack.

[@dewievans7238]

Great video - thanks chaps!

[@paperino0]

holy moly those strings sound incredible

[@fortadelis]

Strings were really great !!!

[@DirkHoppeVocals]

"No laptops were harmed in the making of that video." Haaaahaa! You guys are the best! And the Spitfire Stings....MAN!!! Thanks for the beautiful and so musical presentation of that instrument.

[@jimleedavid]

I play guitar but secretly wish I could play a keyboard like these two exceptional fellas! This was very entertaining!

[@1881Gordon]

This Video is amazing. That Guy Dave Tench is the real deal! I was perfectly happy with my Keyboard until I saw this and now, after watching this, suddenly I want a Nord stage 3.. Damn! 😰

[@neilbissett1240]

Wow what a talent best epp ever get Dave on more please ........

[@sirnigelcogs]

That was a really fantastic and fun video.

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

All the Nord stage videos and first one i have heard that shows sampling libraries and vintage synths.

[@alpao74]

Great video guys!!! Thank you. It's funny, a lot a musician say that the NS2 sounds better than the NS3. I have played my NS2 for 9 years but I haven't tried the 3...

[@BrianKabalaMusic]

Love this type of thing! More nord stuff!

[@vacation_generation]

A great demo - certainly need to consider this piece of gear when I upgrade my keys eventually.

[@vacation_generation]

Ps....will there ever be any point upgrading my keys in future? lol....well you gotta laugh

[@oswaldhernandez5492]

That intro 🔥

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Absolutely fabulous! Not sure if people really “get it” and understand the purpose and potential of a Nord Wave 2, based on other reviews I’ve seen online. But that’s ok... It’s not for them. It took me a while to see it as well. But once you understand it...there is no going back.

[@bdmax17]

I now have a Stage 3 and an Electro 6d and this is the video I've been after! Love these keyboards so so so much! Thanks guys! :D

[@harrisoncanton1339]

Just asking how would they compare? As in what's the cons to the electro6d? Im in the market but feel so torn should i spend the extra and get the stage3 🙂

[@bdmax17]

Hi Harrison! So I originally bought the Electro 6d SW73 and it's been such a great keyboard, however I was planning on getting the Stage 3 Compact at first but at the time I just needed a keyboard to start playing with so I got the Electro. It's an amazing keyboard and is great for most applications. However, I got to the stage where I was wanting to have more control over my sound and become more adventurous with different sound ideas (as well as having a syhtn engine) so I decided to save up and bought a Stage 3 HA88 and it's absolutely amazing. The best way to sum up both keyboards, is the Electro is great for your main core sounds like piano, organ and maybe some pads (you can be very experimental with just that no need for the Stage in that case), but if you want to start experimenting with more Synth elements and having morphing in place, 2 panels and just the overall power, then the Stage is what you want. After the way I've done it, if you're even considering getting an Electro 6 or a Stage 3, save up and get the Stage 3 Compact because chances are you'll want more power once you've got the electro (well at least I did). And also the Stage 3 Compact has the same keybed as the electro which is AMAZING for organ as well as physical drawbars. So my take is to save up and get the Stage 3 Compact! Hope this helps :D

[@bdmax17]

@Cortana I would probably go for the Electro since most of your synths are covered already. So yeah I'd probably get the Electro as that has great organ and piano as well as some sample based stuff if you want that? But I'd definitely look into it, but on surface level, it sounds like you'd be more than good with an electro! :)

[@Lorneplumber]

@Cortana There is the possibility of sampling your exisitng synths into the electro, Ive just started putting DX type sounds in mine and it really interesting how you can nordify any samples so it seems seemless with the supplied samples

[@andersjeppsson8499]

More of this plz! Educational, inspirational, entertaining!

[@jakoblundpaulsen4172]

Ahh, just nice to watch and hear. Love your enthusiastic engagement to your show and your guests, Jack :-) I have the NS2 88 and really want the NS3, but by now I am afraid that Nord will announce the NS4.... Any thoughts on that? Rumours? :-)

[@tonylancer7367]

5:40 The White Grand is sampled from the Steinway Model B. 21:28 Jack was somewhere in space praying. 😂😂😂 Man, if I had the money and the skills to play, I would get a Nord, it's damn straight the Ferrari of keyboards. Always enjoy Jack's playing and enthusiasm, nice to Dave Tench join in! We still waiting on the Rhodes comparison video guys. 👀👀👀👀

[@bozziewald]

Do you know which Spitfire samples Dave used ?

[@geoffwebber8272]

Excellent... more of the same please. There must be a few more keyboard personalities that could do with the ‘Jack’ treatment. Plus making these vids ‘instructional’ at the same time just adds to the value.

[@peterbooth9829]

Awesome video! I love it!

[@Lorneplumber]

Super interesting, more please

[@martinjmusic]

Another awesome video, guys!! 🎹🎉😅 I’d love to see that sample pack (luckily Sample Editor 3 can also export nsmp2 files 😏) 😅

[@blacklightning7227]

awesome show !

[@Kingstonlomusic]

As Stage 2EX user, we desperately need to have a conversion software to transfer all the patches to Stage 3 or perhaps to Stage 3EX if they're gonna release one. Love that EQ control, I had to assign the control pedal to the manual Wah to make the similar effect, and so many things lacking in the stage 2.

[@johngreen3704]

Jack as ever you do a great job of promoting products. I will be ordering my wave 2 next week. I will enquire if I can get J stock opposed to B stock can I have your demonstrator one.

[@xx-ip7ej]

19:46 that’s a slack notification....good lord I need a vacation

[@michaelhorvat703]

´Really great, trank you so much! Please bring out SOUND-PACKS - WOULD LOVE TO BUY THEM!!

[@bartbroekhuizen5617]

Love the detailed explanation and examples, but i don't know what Dave is doing on the Wave 2 is also possible on the Stage 3. Can you explain why you would need the Wave 2 and not for example 2 Nord Stage 3's for a great gig?

[@Zwopper]

My very setup, except I have the NS3 Compact. LOVE it! ❤️

[@jobdiaz8844]

What is that note at the ending jam? I’m loving the way that sounded btw 😁

[@marc_sarria]

No paro de ver este video una y otra vez por las maravillas que hace con el sonido de cuerdas. Es demasiado bueno

[@electricpineapplemusic7125]

I have a 3 too - interested to know how you get spitfire samples in and indeed if its something they encourage? license wise etc

[@EL-vy7mh]

Amazing video as always! You mentioned about you starting out as keys player in London. I was wondering if you are ever going to do a video where you tell us about your journey as keys player/ how you landed big gigs ect. All the best!

[@katebosone9805]

Unbelievable how thinner the proprietary oscillator waves sound than the sampled oberheim.. I wonder if they sounded like that in the room.. Definitely from my phone..

[@modalmixture]

Anyone know what the riff is at 45:37?

[@sebarojas8497]

what a fool believes - doobie brothers :) what a banger jack had under the sleeve.

[@BRAPO]

I'm just a 62 year old kid in a band, the White Grand sounds beautiful

[@antleystudios]

Is his sample of spitfire downloadable anywhere? Is there a tutorial video somewhere showing how to do it?

[@soundtechnology]

Here is a link to the Sound Technology Nord Micro Tutorial on the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX6niGiAjt9loNE

[@gilbertliddell9734]

Wonderful video. I love the spitfire strings and brass libs. How did you manage to get sustain working though, in the sample lib 3 from Nord when I loop the audio (which I think is needed by the NS3 for sustain): I can’t find a loop point because the spitfire libs are so dynamic with so much going on. I end up with this horrible synthetic and obvious cut off at the point where the sample loops. If I take the loop off then the sample just cuts off at whatever length of note I played in my DAW when recording the sample. Any suggestions appreciated team 🙈🙈👍👍

[@downpatmusic]

Interesting in the Jam in and a bit in the jam out the 2 Nords are slightly out of tune to each other. I wonder if that can be fine tuned to match up? Especially the guitar on the Stage 3. The Wave 2 looks like a great synth with the 4 parts and 48 voices.

[@musicom]

Chills!

[@DavidDavisMusic]

This video was so good. Thank you!

[@genepaulmusic]

The church of Anderton’s? with that intro jam ⛪️

[@Lorneplumber]

I started using the sample editor 3 2 days ago - great fun and as mentioned what you can do to the sample once imported makes it seemless

[@lunacave]

Excuse me if I missed something, but does the Wave have the same piano functions as the Stage?

[@AviPFine]

On the wave 2, how do you program the pitch to detune down as you ascend the keybed, and detune up when you play at lower keys? I would love to program this feature to the sound.

[@robwallace7255]

Create your sound on Slot A Copy it to the other three slots Detune each slot as you require, with A being the highest and D being the lowest Turn Split on and split the keyboard into four zones Use the Split X-fade function to blend between each zone Name and save your program Wave 2 Speedy Tutorials which cover these functions can be found here: kzbin.info/aero/PLjnD2giXFBoXU2hpaH5-s4vsKYgfnC2i3

[@andertons]

You missed Dave Tench’s greatest ever musical achievement... the mighty Stamford Amp!!

[@zoomzoom3950]

Someone likes Nords. This pleases me. 😁

[@sublibrarian]

Amazing video! Anyway about David's rig: Korg Kronos + Nord Stage 3 + OB6 = 10000€ :'(

[@cgtspl]

I'm confused... as always, new to this game and wondering how Dave controls the reverb etc. Is the patch actually in the Stage 3 or is a a VST with controller association between keyboard and computer? Or, am I missing something?

[@ScheperOfficial]

What expression pedal does Dave use?

[@jackduxburymusic]

Yamaha FC7

[@damon.Jr1]

How many keys were on that Stage 3?

[@88omarz]

Anyway we can get some of the presets and samples he used in the video even if for a cost?

[@ijmball123]

Where can I download the spitfire samples for stage 3??

[@thombroom5515]

How can I get your OB 8 and Poly D samples? First in the Wave 2 DAW and then through USB cable into the Wave 2...right?

[@abwdoc]

Those strings were incredible that Dave sampled from Spitfire. How difficult is that to do ? Is Dave able to sell these patches ? I will pay cold hard cash to get my hands on them !!!!

[@88omarz]

Nice

[@Marvelous_Opera]

Here's the kicker, though. The high end Casio keyboards, though two have broken on me, still appear to have the most realistic heavy hammer action piano keyboards. Honestly, how does the top-of-the-line Nord compare to the top-of-the-line Casio in terms of piano action? Love to move to Nord, but…

[@vivenciomadelo9630]

Is that the 88 Nord stage 3 keyboard on my right side.

[@danbroad3168]

Choosing between Wave 2 and Stage 3 is tough... those creamy EPs and gorgeous pianos, vs 4 sample/synth layers with playable FX... maybe I should sell the dog/house/a kidney and buy both

[@kevinjhammond]

What is the program he is using on the Wave in the beginning?

[@VidarW]

Jack,whats the samplesound of that guitar? I HOPE I can use it on my NS3. Greetings from norway

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

does the voice use a live band because of licensing hurdles? Or is it actually because they need a live band for some reason

[@SCHuTZ-DSGN]

Geniaal 😂❤

[@smalltown4855]

May the ship lapped and varnished tenticles of the trumpet queen sing that holy song until the mountains of the gong people give us their frozen bounty.

[@capefri]

What’s the name of the song at the end of the outro? It’s stuck in my head and I know it, just cant think of it..
