Mike Patrick Tries the Nord Stage 4

[@halcyo]

This guy’s musicality is off the charts. He is playing top level compositional stuff, and I get the feeling he is halfway improvising. The way he seamlessly glides from r&b/gospel into some super romantic era classical is astounding.

[@LexOfNP]

I was thinking the same thing!!! Amazing!

[@tonylancer7367]

Have you seen this demo on the Montage 7 with the Orchestral patches? Felt like I was watching a movie score, unbelievably good.

Sure. The Nord Stage 4 is a beast, but it is also as awesome as the player using it, and this guy is just mind-blowing. Give him one for free, cause he just sold a lot for you.

I couldn’t agree more😂you have to be well studied and skilled to make this piano sound the way Mike did lol!

[@DouglasRosser]

Mike Patrick is worth searching for on your favorite music platforms!

[@darrickkeels6387]

The strings, horns, and choir really sounded amazing! This is being done on a "stage keyboard." Really good stuff. To my ears Nord really sounds amazing.

[@Google_Was_My_Idea_nr.1]

But incredibly overpriced ✌🏾

[@darrickkeels6387]

Yeah...Nord is not trying to make a keyboard for "everyone." They are going after a high-end market of live keyboard players that appreciate what they have to offer. Kind of like Lamborghini isn't making cars for everyone. A Lamborghini is not the best value on the market. They will never sell in mass. But it will provide a different experience than 99% of the cars out on the road. So if it is "overpriced" to you....honestly, you are probably not their target audience.

That piano over organ patch is so smooth! Awesome playing!

[@Mtpro_audio]

New fav patch for main keys

[@Gregs_World]

Another amazing video Mike Patrick is magic I could listen to his playing for days to say that he brings out the best in the stage 4 would be a grand understatement

[@rogerpancake6803]

The classical piece he played with choir and strings was so beautiful and the sound of the Nord is unbelievable ..massive thanks and appreciation

[@paulinfrancis]

I agree, that was amazing!

[@sccermanic]

do you know what song that was? i feel like I've heard it but can't name it.

[@carbonvibes]

Mike Patrick, always a pleasure to hear you play the keys. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@1881Gordon]

Amen to that!

[@JaakkoTK]

His playing tickles my brains! Its out of the charts, enjoyed all the way! And I don´t know anything about keyboards or playing keys. But I can hear excellent playing! Greetings from Finland.

[@granturquhart613]

Mike Patrick is an astonishing player. To go from that amazing gospel piece to that insanely beautiful symphonic choir piece, to bar-room piano to pop is real talent. Incredible player on an incredible keyboard.

[@theIMMUNICORN]

The brief stuff starting at 8:20 is unexpectedly fantastic hahah

[@6p00l]

Go watch his osmose video, he does this "song" on it as well

[@anthonyhall9453]

I can't get enough of Mike's masterful playing. Where can I buy albums of just Mike Patrick playing keys? I'd buy them all. Mike, do you still play in church, if so is there a live stream link...I'd love to tune-in?

[@randydaboss1097]

What buddy was playing around 4:44 sounds like it couldve been a score in Lion King 🔥🔥

[@hugostos09]

Mike improvising Enya was absolutely insane. You fckng made my day!

[@ChinqMiau1]

Dude is an inspiration for sure. Amazing player.

[@Ivan_1986]

A type of video that brings desire to start learning to play piano. Amazing to see great instruments becoming an extension for musicians who reached full freedom in their transformation of emotion and love into sound. Another level👍

Mike looks like they are in pure heaven- great video

[@helenyap6930]

Mike is so awesome. He makes the Nord sound so good.

[@andreievkalupniek5717]

Amazing playing and musicality! After having it for a few weeks and having a CP88 (and a CP4 and a CP80) for many years (and all the best software pianos including Keyscape), I have to admit nothing sounds like the Nord. The Nord is just more expressive, even though the CP88 sounds great. I think Yamaha is loosing big by not having a proper piano section on their keyboards - with proper String Resonance (not only damper resonance), pedal noise, piano-specific eq-options (they have the tone dial on the CP but it is not as good, reverb options are also way better on the Nord) - Things the Nord has had for years and now has gone even further with unison options and dynamic compression options.

[@davidvallejo4556]

Was that Sail Away by Enya around the 9:00 mark?? 😂😂🫡🫡

[@McKinleyMorann]

Yeah, Orinoco flow. Amazing, love that he bust that out! :-)

[@TaeglicheNarzisst]

This is why I love this channel

[@AndrewMcKain]

Mike is amazing, and definitely goals, getting to demo new keyboards for Nord and Yamaha lol

[@andrewyancey878]

Come on now, we watch you both😂 And I’m thinking when I get the idea to post anything with me playing or demoing sounds, I’ll just apologize for not being Jack or Mike, or you, or John Mike, or Cory Henry haha. I’ve got enough gear and sounds but I think people would just be annoyed ha. But seriously it seems like everybody watches the other guy nowadays and that’s actually cool.

[@Kayb44]

Sounds very good. The guy is a great player. Best UI ever made. I would have one right now if it wasn't that awful red, and it had proper internal storage space. They also need to update those old small sample sets. Come on....for this price....they need to step it up.

[@Nick_toronto]

This was a great video! and as usual Mike's musicianship is crazy! Question though Is Mike Patrick no longer with Yamaha? I must say the strings patch here doesn't come close to his Montage's Strings & Flutes patch

[@1881Gordon]

Have to agree with you 100% - This Keyboard is Fire for sure, but the strings are not a 'Patch' on the Montage's. Also. The way the Montage allows you to set up and move through scenes is something else.... With that said, I'm sure that he barely scratched the surface with this beast.. No doubt plenty more to come. Sorry for the bad joke 😃.

[@mpichora]

So sick. I might have to delay my next purchase so I can afford this carnivorous beast of a keyboard.

Absolutely wonderful, it's a joy to listen to this!
