Amazing presentation! I'm a drummer, but I loved the sound of keyboards and what they mean to any band. The Nord 5 is a beast! Keep the presentations coming brother.
I think as Nord is including more ways to combine y modify sounds on their Piano and Electro lines, it’s time they should include a mod wheel and pitch stick for vibrato and effects
No, no, you have to pay the premium and get the flagship Nord Stage to get pitch-bend and modwheel, that’s a pro feature. Competition does the same thing too, right? /s I mean, seriously, don’t bother having synth sounds if you don’t have a pitch stick. If it was a dedicated piano, fine, but it is a piano with sounds that yu cannot play properly because idiocy.
Yes…some troll was trying to argue against this idea but yes needs a pitch and mod wheel. It’s the tip of the iceberg on this being overhypes nonsense. Get a vst it sounds better .
get a nord stage or nord lead for synths - the nord piano is mainly for piano focused players - great piano sounds and keybed - with other sounds there, but without the bells and whistles
pretty sure they've had layering for ages. at least the stage keyboards did. this one specifically is the piano 5, so it would make sense for previous models not to have layering (even though i believe they did). i know for a fact the stage keyboards have had layering for a while now
@@vjreimedia Jesus Christ, look at you go. He was referring to what you could do with the Nord, not what he could do in general and trying to "show off".
well sounding. shame about the only two split zones that seem limiting due to the new features of the Piano. The 73-key weighted model is VERY interesting.
Hello, great question. The Nord Piano 5 has some organs but the features are less extensive than their keyboards with dedicated organ sections such as the Nord Stage 4 or Electro 6D. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
One thing I see right off the bat is that the strings sustain with the sustain pedal, which they don't on the Yamaha DGX. Is there an option for an expression pedal with the string voices? I've always liked the sound of Nords.
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, you can assign an expression pedal to control the volume of the Sample Synth section (including strings).

QUESTION: What Amplification (Amplifier) is being used for this demo of The NORD STAGE 5? Seems EVERY MUSIC SUPPLY STORE on The RUclips Channel is eager to advertise their great products but they ALL FAIL is INCLUDE to Describe and Advertise the Best Amplification (Amplifier) that "goes best" with their Electric Keyboards! Hope this is seen as a VERY POSITIVE PRE-SALES ADD-ON SUGGESTION for future reference.
Wow this thing is incredible! I've been looking for a keyboard for playing with my improv group and im curious does this record and loop/playback smthn while playing smthn else along with it? Also drum effects? Also does it have a speaker or do you need to hook smthn up to it?🤩 def super interested to look into this!
Hello, great question! The Nord Piano monitors can be directly mounted on the Nord Piano 5, Nord Grand, and the Stage 3 88 (Rev B, the current model shipping in the US). Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Hi, thanks for your interest! I think I understand your question, but just to make sure, one example would be splitting the keyboard so that the lower half is just piano, while the higher half is the same piano sound layered with strings. If I’ve understood correctly, the answer is yes! You can set a split point anywhere on the keyboard and freely assign Piano or Sample Synth layers to either side of the split. Hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater okay thx,I was wanting maybe strings layer on lower half of piano but have piano on all 88 keys,I think your response said I could do this
I wish you would do a video showing the connection type of cables suggested in a gear list. A great topic for Nord is balanced vs unbalanced cables. I would also like to see what you are connected to. Are you using an amp or powered speakers? I want a piano 5 and have a Roland KC-600 as well as powered speakers. Thoughts?
I've used a Roland KC series keyboard amp for years. I haven’t found a keyboard that doesn’t sound good through one of those. I think you’ll be good! Jacob
Seems with the nord you are paying for the piano, the red paint and the sticker on the back. The korg krome has 16 layers with velocity and zone assignment. Maybe the piano is not as amazing but that is about it.
Exactly what I’ve done! I can’t gig with that thing lol it’s way too heavy I upgraded to a Nord Stage 3 (88) never looked back but this will be my last hardware synth I’m going full software from here on out

Kills me that there still isn't pitch or mod controls on the Piano or the Grand. :(

You made the Nord sound good respect to you
That vibrato on the string ensemble patch is really subtle.
1:01 🤯 so beautiful
True!
Oh my god, independent layering in 2021!
My Casiotone £250 keys has independent layer volumes and choice of sustain pedal action on each.
True. Nord is like Apple. Lol. They are like, we are bringing this new feature which is not there in any keyboards 🤣

Dear Santa, I been good all year.I practice faithfully everyday..Id love nothing more than this piano..
No one cares
@@tieganthomson8449 Thanks 🙏

Amazing piano playing 😍
Did these seriously not have layering until now? My $100 Yamaha from Costco had that in 1999.

You could layer a piano and a sample synth before, but now can layer twice that, 2 pianos and 2 sample synths. A total of 4 layers.
@@martinvivian9772 I wish this feature was available for the Nord grand. Perhaps for the grand 2

Just ordered mine, excited to experience with it.
Great demo! 👍

Beautiful. Eventually will maybe/probably buy.
Great Piano, but amazing player!

It wouldn't have killed them to put the three extra keys on there 🙄🙄
Roland has been layering since the 1980's in its Sound Canvas products (e.g. SC-88 Pro), so what is new in Nord's layering ?
Can you play organs on the Nord Piano 5?
Hello, great question. The Nord Piano 5 has some organs but the features are less extensive than their keyboards with dedicated organ sections such as the Nord Stage 4 or Electro 6D.

What kind of keybed action does the nord piano 5 has? I heard it uses the Fatar TP 40 same model that studiologic Grand has.
Great review Piano 5

"I really like D Flat today, for some reason..." - best statement ;-D
Does this keyboard have spit? For example can you have bass as a layer only on the low notes?
Sounds Like a Studio Ghibli movie. I got nostalgic.

Looks like they are entering the workstation category in a small way for a large price tag, think I'll stick with my Kronos..!
Agree! I have had the Kronos 2 for 3 years now and it still blows me away. Best keyboard I’ve ever owned and I’ve had lots.

love the playing !
He’s got vibes..
Do those hands come with it?
This is why I always want a Nord keyboard, but it's always out of my budget TBH... 😅
Why?... I just got the Korg Nautilus and the pianos sound much better than the Nord and its a lot cheaper!
I would get that keyboard
No pitch wheel?

Wow 2 gigs let all do summersaults
Very good
I don't see the difference between this piano and other nords as far as quality of sound goes
Same sounds... more power/flexibility.
Me thinking it went from like 25gb to 50gb when he said twice :O. To find out it went from 1gb to 2gb lol
Would it have killed them to have put 4 volume sliders on it? I mean, come on. You can even easily blend on the fly. Pathetic.
@@jayandgem why exactly?
Looking at the comments below, I have to say a lot of the features people note should be included were already included in a Kawai MP7.
The "new" features have been a staple in the keyboard world since the 90's.
@@dynoroad Haha. Correct. Its like "Welcome to 1991, Nord"
Now time for Nord to come out with a Stage Piano 4.
I'm DROOOOling!!!!
I only have a Yamaha piano so that I can sing and write the lyrics from my tablet.
And still no pitch or mod control…SMH
I want one. Will probably trade in my Montage 8. It looks much easier to construct great layered sounds with this keyboard.
Trade in the Montage 8 ASAP and buy a MoDX7. 1/3 the cost but the same programs...pair that with the Nord and you're all set
Exactly what I’ve done! I can’t gig with that thing lol it’s way too heavy I upgraded to a Nord Stage 3 (88) never looked back but this will be my last hardware synth I’m going full software from here on out
Is it that loud clicking noice every time you change settings, or is it just this guy that slap the buttons?
so many functions i believe this one is for advance user
@9:23 😏
I would donate a kidney for this thing 😭
They release new models too often, making the older ones too soon obsolete.
That is true they release new models waaaaaaaaaayyyy too damn fast! I won’t be upgrading to a Stage 4 for sure don’t care how cool it is.
