From what I've read, the NE3 does have MIDI capabilities. You can connect with other workstations/keyboards as well and use 2 different patches from the NE3 at the same time.
@Erikolson99 actually the second sound is a synth sound from the nord wave (almost organ like, yes) which receives MIDI from the electro 3. controlling the volume with a volume pedal.
Most awesome emotion evoking piece I've heard in a while. Hints of Howard Jones in there. You should publish this! Nord Stage II is one of my fav keyboards as well. That and the Korg Kronos.
Yes, I think I've used the "studio grand" (yamaha C7) For classical and jazzy tunes I prefer the steinway samples now. They weren't available at that time I recorded this video.
Sounds beautiful...you can't get that great piano tone on the NE2...that's why I'm upgrading...also for the Mellotron and piano libraries that have a million other great patches.
Wow! Really impressive for improvisation, and even if it wouldnt be, it still would be really really beutiful, we think alike in improvisation i think, alot of similar chord progressions :), but you're quite a bit ahead. :P 5 stars!
Hi tyroleankeyboarder, I am keyboard player that like to use pianos for Moder contemporary music with delays and stuff... I also like using pads, synths and sometime emulate some instruments that are not in the band when playing live... I wanted to ask you on regards to the feel of the waterfall keys since I had read it is not good, what is your feedback on that. For what i can listen from your playing it sounds super good. Thank you.
busted :-) Well, that's the beauty of impro: You may have some very detailled ideas on your mind but at the end you never know where it's gonna take you. Especially in solo improvising you can go in literally any musical direction.
awesome. wish i could play like that. i'm thinking of getting the nord electro 3 for piano and organ sounds. does it have any string sounds or synth sounds too ? or can you load them in ? load samples in too ? i was looking at the kurzweil sp47 as well but not sure if the piano sounds are really that much better / worse. what do you think ?
Nice impro, you have a great harmonic knowledge . Nice that we hear a very far organ behind . Is thère a string resonnance on the Piano sound in the elecro 3 .Tell me please ,i don't want it aderwise .I take the nord Piano . You can use this melodie for a great movie . If you had writed the score ( sheep)( i don't know in english) i want it.
I just got my NE3 a couple weeks ago, and I can't even come close to that acoustic piano tone you're getting. Is that a pre-loaded sample bank or from the sample library? What amp do you run it through? As well, you're playing sounds soooo dynamic compared to what the standard piano sounds seem to provide. Are you using the volume pedal to add some dynamic depth while you're playing? Either way this is beautiful, and if you haven't fully composed this, DO IT NOW!!
I used the "studio grand yamaha c7". but there is now a XL version available with some extra layering samples. Sounds even better. Additionally I used the internal compressor and the internal reverb (I think it was set to "stage" at a low amount)
Hello, Christian! Piano that you used on that record? Has come in the instrument is derecognized or the library? I'm Brazilian, I do not speak English, there may be errors. Hug!
Heheh, I missed that first theme through the improvisation, seems like you did the same.. You fitted it in at last, in the end :P I'm impressed, this is really skillful. You could have worked better with your first theme though, you did a great job using the second one.. :) cheers
I had some lessons on a real acoustic piano but this is most beautiful sound I ever heard out of a synth! I am going to save money for this amazing wonder called Nord :D
hey could you please help me? i need some help using the helix board 18 firewire MKll. I cant make it record, my dirver is already installed but nothing happens when i press record. I will appreciate your help with maybe a tutorial or whatever may be helpful. p.s. i love the song you played!
That depends on what you need and what you want to play. nord piano pros: really good piano-like claviature, half pressed sustain pedal samples -> more realistic piano sounds, additional nord piano 2 (!)pro: you can upload samples like strings, etc nord piano cons: no organ sounds, heavier than the electro nord eletcro3 pros: organ sounds, the same piano sound just without some extra samples. very lightweight. cons: organ claviature - depends on if you like it; difficult to play classical piano
sorry that this comment might be a bit rude, but nearly every keyboard nowadays has midi. At least every keyboard that is not a toy or a veryvery beginner keyboard (minimoog voyager old school doesn't have midi because it is "old" version of voyager and the midi has been left out intentionally)
you can't layer two patches on NE3... only thing you can do is to control the lower manual of the organ with some other keyboard that has different drawbar settings but that uses the same effects...
Can Önal For this video I think I used one of the "Studio Grand" pianos on the nord piano library. still use it most of the times. I do like Yamaha pianos in general. With the close up microphones it makes a good "everyday - every use" piano, for "pop song" comping recordig as well as live. Also love the Steinway with the distant mics - works great for solo piano classical or jazz recordings, but the sound might be a little bit too "thin" for jamming with a live band. It does have more character though.
Hello, Good Day, Hey Dude A Question; Really Do Not Know If You Already Made The Hayan You But How I Did That The Nord Electro 3 Have 2 Voices At The Same Time? It Really Is Very Urgent For Me, I Tried Many Media And Search For The Best I Could Find. Weekend If You Can Help Your Grateful Enough. You're The First, I See That We Have Success!. I Hope You Can Help.
also, the piano has 88 keys, the electro just 73 or 61 (most of the time that's enough) there's also an electro version (3HP) with a more piano-like claviature. I didn't like it so much. It's not as good as the nordpiano claviature and quite loud. conclusion: If you need JUST a piano then take the nordpiano. if you also need an organ sound or you are comfortable with an organ claviature and you have to travel a lot (going to rehearsals by train or bus) take the electro. either way: try'em out!
bellissimo il tema e magnifi l'esecuzione complimenti potrebbe essere la colonna sonora di un film ...commovente vravo
All those years after I first watched it, I came back to this video as I had memorized your beautiful improvisation. You deserve more recognition!
Awww, thank you so much for your kind words! Really means a lot to me! 🙂
A friend sent this to me recently--and you might never see this--but this is beautiful. I want to play like you.
After 14 years since I listened to this I still love it.
Really great composition, no flourish, only simplicity, inspiration and earnest execution.
Pad sound is really well injected and balanced.
Absolutely fabulous sounding Nord.
Brilliant playing. You have fabulous understanding of chords ... mind-blowing.
NIce composition....sounds like a super cool movie soundtrack...I've been looking for a new...smaller keyboard...this sold me on the Nord. :)
This is quite an elaborate piece for the fact that this theme just came to you the other night!
I love it :o)
That almost brings tears to my eyes ... yes, I am crying ... that is so good.
This is something that makes me feel good.
This is a beautiful improvisation - I am very impressed!
That was amazing!!! You are so good.
My Electro 3 will be here this week! Soo excited!!!
What do you mean by the word improvisation!!
You have a nicely composed song, and by that a beautiful song.
the best impro what I ever heard on youtube... Man. It's awesome!

It's got to be really difficuilt to get that good just improvising!!! I hope I master the piano like that one day.
Really beautiful.Have a Kurz 2600s trying t decide if I add the new PC3 or the Nord. Help??
Отличная мелодия!
Yes, I think I've used the "studio grand" (yamaha C7) For classical and jazzy tunes I prefer the steinway samples now. They weren't available at that time I recorded this video.
Do you know how brilliant is this?? !!?? can't find the words 4...

Ohhh man, that was a trip......
Envy. That is the last thought in my mind when i hear this. (Of course congratulations, but... damn! I'm so envious of you!!!)
Nice impro, you have a great harmonic knowledge .
Nice that we hear a very far organ behind .
Is thère a string resonnance on the Piano sound in the elecro 3 .Tell me please ,i don't want it aderwise .I take the nord Piano .
You can use this melodie for a great movie .

very impressive playing, how do you find the waterfall keys as opposed to hammer action?
which smp, patched was used? and what parameters?? thanks ... plays very well, great!
Yes!
I had some lessons on a real acoustic piano but this is most beautiful sound I ever heard out of a synth!
I am going to save money for this amazing wonder called Nord :D
nice !
what tune did you listen to when you improvised on it ? sounds amazing !
hey could you please help me? i need some help using the helix board 18 firewire MKll. I cant make it record, my dirver is already installed but nothing happens when i press record. I will appreciate your help with maybe a tutorial or whatever may be helpful.

congrat to that video also find at Nord's YT channel in Favourites! :) GREAT!!!!
did you record that in MP3?
i would LOVE to have it on my iPod...
thanks a lot :-)
Wow.

what do you prefer piano tone? Which piano library ?

uhmmm !!! Me gusta mucho mucho mucho ;-)) Thanks
is this song originally yours???
Are you using a little bit of organ in that mix?
sounds
Thumbs up if you applauded at the end :D congrats mate!
I Played this when I had to tell a Vodafone employee I didn't want to extend my contract with them. Saddest girl ever.
how about roland rdS??
you can play realy good piano, makes me cry. can you play the same in A minor and do tutoriol plese?
Hey thanks for your interest. Unfortunately this piece can not be played in A minor ;-)
also, the piano has 88 keys, the electro just 73 or 61 (most of the time that's enough)

i really love the electro 3, not a fan of the wave though
Molto bella ed evocativa ma non è una improvvisazione. E' una composizione vera e propria! Perchè definirla impro?
thats why i love you darling! :*
