Big, Free 2022 Update: Nord Stage 3 Cover Band Collection

[@GrantLarcom]

Hey man! I moved to town in January from Martin, Tennessee. I’m finally starting to pick up some gigs. I’ll be buying the cover band collection for my stage 3.

[@PatchFoundry]

Welcome to Tennessee, and congrats on the gigs!

I am looking for "High On You -Survivor -" I think it's a DX7

[@PatchFoundry]

Hmmm- that one isn't part of the current collection, but I'm always updating it. Here's the current patch list: www.patchfoundry.com/stage3/coverbandcollection

These patches are amazing! I suspect more fun to be a working musician and YT videos on the side!!

[@PatchFoundry]

Thank you! Very fortunate to get to do two of my favorite things for a living- make music and goof around making presets 😆

Great collection of new patches...what is the knocking noise when you are playing?

[@PatchFoundry]

Unfortunately it was the key clicks- my biggest complaint about The Nord Stage 3 HP76 is the incredibly loud key action and heavy keybed. You can REALLY hear it in this video for some reason.

@@PatchFoundry Yes,I guessed it was the key action,my Electro 6 HP has same issue but not as bad,you would think for an expensive keyboard that Nord would address it...surely not rocket science to fix.Thanks for demo of new patches..great stuff.

[@PatchFoundry]

@@piano4014 I agree. The reason I'm willing to live with it is because the unit is so light, while still being a decent (albeit heavy) hammer action touch. This keyboard is the only keyboard I know of that is light enough for me to check in a hardshell case and fly with!

Hello, do these patches use arrangements of existing Stage 3 factory presets and sounds or are there extra samples included we have to make space for to download ?

[@PatchFoundry]

It really depends on what you have installed. If you have the factory installation, you’ll probably need just around 10-20 megabytes in the sample library, and space for the White Grand in the Piano Library. Here’s an in-depth install video that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naXRh5SkibmKg6c

[@RobbieDiMaccini]

its free ???????

[@PatchFoundry]

Yes, the update is free, doesn't matter which version you purchased of the Cover Band Collection (and there's been three major releases since I made this video). Here's the link: www.patchfoundry.com/stage3/coverbandcollection
