Building a Modern Worship Sound on the Nord Stage 3 - Piano & Pad Layered Sound for Church

Want your Nord Stage 3 to sound like Hillsong, Maverick City Music, Bethel Music, and other modern worship bands? In this video I show you how I build a modern worship piano and pad layered sound using only stock Nord sounds...no need for custom sample packs!
I am in love with this piano and synth pad layered sound and will be including this in my future worship program pack 2.

This is SO helpful. My church has a NORD that nobody is using to its real potential and I'm about to get in there and program some better presets for my keys players!

[@simonpetersog]

That's nice, did u make some presets?

[@MrMekaChoo]

bro, thank you for this video... I've loved exploring the Nord and it's seemingly endless options, but haven't built anything that I "love" yet. So I've been following your channel as I've learned the NS3, and this was what I needed tonight, thank you.

[@keysforhire]

Thank you so much for this detailed step by step sound design. I am new at paying attention to the tone and sound design. This helps me to hear how things are constructed. I am going to give this a try on Sunday.

[@iamgrabthelegacy]

Thank you SOOOOO very much for this! I've been trying to figure out a way to create my own similar sounds on my Electro 6D - and although I couldn't use all these steps, it still helped and sounds pretty nice! I wish you had similar sample packs for the Electro! But again, thanks sooooo much!

[@JohnFisk-OHS-78]

This is hugely helpful! Not just the patch itself - which is absolutely stunning - but the process that you went through as you developed the sound is really instructive. Our NS3 just arrived a couple days ago and we're all in the infatuation stage right now. It had its maiden voyage yesterday in church and that went really well. I binge watched your tutorial videos and then spent several hours configuring and setting up some basic patches. Huge thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Blessings! J

[@DSoundman]

Thank you so much!! Have fun!

[@ferminmusic6899]

Love your videos on the NS3! There’s a lot of videos out there but they all sound kind of the same.. this here is different! I followed your steps and used it at my church this Sunday and I loved it!! Keep em coming! Many blessings to you! 👍🏻

[@noreen1990]

It was very helpful for me. God bless you bro.I also play nord stage 3 at my church but it wasn't sound so good until I found your vedio.Thank u so much. 😇

Very innovative, thanks.

Thank you🙏🙏🙏 awesome! 🙌🙌🙌

[@jomama7031]

Hey Douglass...very nice video! Can this same thing be accomplished on the Nord Piano 5?

[@darleneboakye5852]

Also keen to know? Planning on buying a Nord piano 5

[@31Elie]

Thank you for walking through this step by step. I bought a used Stage 2 just to sing along to at home and occasionally accompany a home prayer group. Your channel is my guide to navigate the complexity of the controls. Would you mind my asking where to find the Southern Shores sound, please? Cannot find the patch in the library online nor is there any reference when Googling. Many thanks.

[@DSoundman]

Hi there, I did a little digging and it looks like the Southern Shores sound is only available via the Nord Stage 3's synth engine. I looked at the Nord Stage 2 synth presets from Nord and don't see it listed. Sorry about that!

[@harold12A]

What are your thoughts on the keys not being fully weighted ? Seeing that you use piano a lot. Thanks

[@fotofoxfotografie7260]

great video thanks! How can I control the volume of the pad with the gray big wheel?

[@wandertcl8041]

Show 👏🏻👏🏻

[@jordanbrant6648]

Do any of these pads and sounds come with a Piano 5? Or the Electro 6 HP ?

[@italohanson]

Incrível 🙌🏻

[@aaronnicks5641]

How do you get different levels of eq on each panel? Whenever I click back to the panel, the knob is the same as the other panel

[@johnchabo9839]

hello DsoundMan what church are you part of i would like to see your church worship and how the sounds you are applying cutting thru the mix. i have been playing nord since 2015 and the one sound the cuts thru any mix with a band the best is The Mellow upright (surprisingly) and i am kinda bored with it. wondering how your sounding in the live mix with full band

[@megatonbeats3153]

That keyboard is so gorgeous but good googly moogly that thing has waaaaay too many knobs for me to comprehend 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rickeitt]

do you have time to show how to create a worship pad - not with piano or any other sounds, just the pad from scratch on Nord Stage 4.

[@SteveMosetiAliyebarikiwa]

lovely... you may wanna adjust your sound's highs on the EQ..its too sharp on my studio monitors

[@DSoundman]

Thanks for the tip! For studio work or depending on the live location I would bring the highs down for sure. At my church we have another synth player and enough other instruments that battle for the lower end that I tend lean towards a brighter EQ in that setting. Just curious, what do you have for studio monitors?

[@jackmansfield9707]

Thank you so much bro.I’ve had my Nord stage 3 for a couple years and have loved it and this helped me because I’m just getting into sound design and stuff.I do have a question which hopefully you could help me out.Whenever I’m playing my Nord pianos there will be this white noice effect when I’m playing then when I let go it will obvi go away.Have you heard anything about this?Its rly annoying because it’s pretty prominent at church and have to use eq and stuff to Drain most of it out but also that messes with my pianos.thank you for ur time

[@Pandorox]

I would check your synth settings sometimes it has white noise there. You can control how much you put into the sound though by adjusting one of the nobs for the synths.

[@jackmansfield9707]

@@Pandorox hmmm so ur saying it could be in the synth section even when the piano section is totally separate?Ill give it a try.Godbless

[@YaBoiiVic]

Does it only happen at church? The reason I ask is because from your description of the problem the first thing that came to mind is a gain issue from the board that causes that similar white noise sound. The only other thing I can think of some crazy compression setting on the piano that is driving you piano signal too high and again causing that high gain sound similar to white noise. I hope this helps!

[@jackmansfield9707]

@@YaBoiiVic those sound like some good key component I can look into .But no it happens at my home coming through my Kali monitors

[@shachahteam3292]

Can we produce this sound in electro 6d?

[@jhon1349]

Can I use white grand piano XL sound to nord electro also ?

[@denniscahoon9697]

I put the white grand and the 3d on my electro 5

[@r3uven942]

[@stevesmith1493]

All for only $6000!

[@theclaverman]

6000$??? I bought my Nord Stage 3 (88 keys) brand new for 3500$ three years ago from a Norwegian musicstore. Current price in Norway is 3800$. So….you basically need to move, cause 6000$ for a Nord Stage 3 is insanity.

[@justaname1862]

Stage3...the most overated/over priced kboard on the planet

[@theclaverman]

Depends on were you live on the planet. I bought my Nord Stage 3 (88 key version) brand new for 3500$ in Norway. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable price…
