Finally, a good tutorial on the NS4! Had this complex beast for a few weeks now with no idea where to start making a worship patch. Thanks for saving me DSoundman, May God Bless you! ❤
It is hard to find people who don't love the sound of their own voice for sure. Finding a good channel that is straight up info and cut to the chase rather than draw out the whole video for content 💯%
Really looking forward to owning a Nord Stage 4 soon. They are most definitely a solid work horse and pack a solid punch in versatility 👊🧡👍
This is possibly the clearest run through I’ve found , you,really bring the effects to life thank you 🙏
Thanks a million. Please, don't stop teaching us the wonderful instrument 👏👏
Thank you so much! That was a wonderful training video for me to get started with my new Nord Stage 4!
amazing video, the best I’ve seen so far, thank you for doing this ❤
Great video!!! There are few good tutorials on the net about NS4. I really appreciate your work and excitement about this great keyboard! Thank you very much ! Keep showing us the best this keyboard has to offer!
Great run through on the ns4 ! Wish I had your information video available when I opened the box to my ns4. Good walkthrough Douglas ! Blessings !
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. A storm wiped out our Church building and provided an opportunity to upgrade. This video was such a helpful thing for the overwhelm of all of the bells and whistles that are on this amazing keyboard. It broke it up into bite sized chunks to get me through our first practice with it!
Thanks for explaining the connection to the computer! So many people fail to cover that.
Very good tutorial. Unfortunately there are almost no tutorials for the Nord Stage 4, especially for the synth engine. I think that might be the biggest challenge for most users. If possible, please provide a tutorial for programming synth sounds :-)
Fantastic pedagogical explanation! World class! Perfect downloaded to my brain. I know kung fu!
Best tutorial yet.
Thank you Sir 👍
I’ve had my NS4 for over a month now. I’d love if you’d dig into the synth/effects sections more. I’m still learning the piano. It can get overwhelming sometimes 😂.
Great Video, and very informative!! Ive had the NS4 for a good couple of months and really enjoy it, but sometimes all the buttons become confusing.
Thank you for this overview. Have you found a workaround for the loss of Song Mode?
Best video of Quick Tutorial! Congrats my friend!
Thank you so much! I was doubting the video as soon as I posted it, but your encouragement is appreciated! 🙏🏻
thankyou:)
Really helpful! Thanks a lot… a few days weeks ago I asked you between YC88 and NP5… but I ended up getting an awesome deal on a NS4 😅 I’m loving it but yes I’m lost sometimes
Sorry if I missed your question before! I get a lot of comments and sometimes don’t see all the notifications! 🤦🏻♂️ Congrats on getting the NS4 though…great choice!
@@DSoundman you replied back to me which I appreciated a lot. You suggested the NP5 if organ wasn’t an issue for me 👍🏻
Great overview and incredible keyboard but, still no built-in audio interface for $5600? I haven’t needed a separate audio interface for Yamaha, Roland and Korg keyboards (Motif/Montage, RD/Fantom, Kronos). It is 2024, correct?
Great video! Wondering what you have your gain and IN/OUT levels set as on your audio interface to track the Nord? Thanks :)
Thanks! I go into the line inputs on my audio interface so I don't have the ability to set the gain level for those inputs.
Hello, and thank you for making this vid, it's really helping!
One thing though, do you know why my Stage4, doesn't have the follow focus button, and yours does?
Thanks.
They ended up removing the follow focus button, but I don’t really know why. I assume because it doesn’t really serve much of a purpose. I leave follow focus on all the time anyway!
Great Video - I am really thankful !
I like to splt a Piano-Sound in lower and upper keyboard. Then I want to work the sustain-pedal only on the upper part. How can I manage this ?
You can enable/disable the sustain pedal on each piano layer, so if you split the two, you can disable the sustain on the lower part (shift + Layer A On/Off button - labeled "SUSTPED" underneath).
@@DSoundman Thank You my friend !
Hi Douglas, which Pedal woud you recommend to use as rotor pedal on the NS4?
DSoundman, can you please direct me to one of your videos that discusses this - I know how to split my NS4, but I can't figure out how to use both parts live. More specifically: I'm trying to play piano (2 hands) over a background of strings or atmospheric sounds. I need to switch the chord of the background strings at the same time that I am playing piano with both hands, which is not possible. The only way I can see this working is if I create a backtrack for myself to play piano over. But then how do people accomplish this live? Is there a pedal that can switch the chord of the background sound, or ? If you could give me some direction on this, I would be so grateful.
Can you set the synth or organ to play just on the lower or halfway point and have the piano play full 88keys at same time?
I am a beginner with Nord stage 4 - where can I find warm pads? thanks
Hello! I wonder if you could possibly give me an advise if you are familiar with Novation 49SL MkIII controller. Someone gave me one, but I can't seem to turn it on. I connect it to the outlet, plug to the computer USB port and, I believe, it's suppose to light up even if I don't have the software. But nothing happens. Do you suppose the controller is bad? At one end of the controller I see an opening with an image of a lock next to it. There would not be any locking feature preventing it from turning on?
I couldn't fine any info on the web and about to give up on it.
Thanks!
Great Intro, Douglas!
What specific make/model headphones are you wearing in this video tutorial?
Secondly, what keyboard stand brand/models out there actually "secure" the Nord(s) to the stand so they won't fall
off or wobble?
Suppose you wanted to play on The Nord
the synth entry sound to "Morning Girl" by The Neon Philharmonic, and that "sound effect wasn't available in the Library? How would you request that from The Nord Corporation? Thanks.
Thanks!
1. I am using the AKG K92's right now: www.zzounds.com/a--518275/item--AKGK92?siid=183450 I love them and got them for vocal recording so I get less bleed-through of the click track due to them being closed-back.
2. I'm not aware of one that actually attaches to the Nord, but I've used the On-Stage KS7350: www.zzounds.com/a--518275/item--MUPKS7350?siid=33655 for many years and have never had an issue with a keyboard wobbling of falling off...and I'm a hard piano player!
3. I'm not aware of a way to request a sound from Nord themselves, but your could try reaching out to their support.
Is it superfluous to use both an NE 6d and a NS4 compact? Is it redundant or does each complement each other?
Hey there! I’ve been following your channel for a couple of months now. I am visually impaired, and would like to sign up for the Nord Stage 4 Essentials course. Would it be beneficial for me as well?
I’ve checked your sample videos section and you’ve explained the sections pretty amazingly, which I could understand from those three sample videos.
Awesome, I was going to have you watch those to see how understandable it was! Those sample videos are pretty representative of the course. I try to do a good thorough job of explain the functions and often give cues like “to the right of the screen” that should help as well!
@@DSoundman Oh yes yes! Those sample videos were pretty impressive. Also, once I purchase the course, is there a way to contact you if I’d have a doubt or something that I may have to clear out?
I purchased stage 4 in Feb 2024 but I don't have "Follow focus" button on the keyboard. Are there two kinds of Stage 4?
That's very interesting and I just looked at the pictures on Nord's website and they don't have them either. I have one of the first NS4's delivered to the united states and it looks like they eliminated the follow focus button. I'm not 100% sure, but it might have been a redundant control. In the buttons in the Follow Focus section, if all the lights are lit, it probably follows. Is there a way to set them so none are lit? Either that or they always have it follow focus as I'm not sure who would NOT want it to. Thanks for pointing that out!
I wish I can afford this piano
Main challenge is turning things off
😂
