We are about to introduce Stage 4 into out process for keys, but it seems that I will be the only one using the 4 with Mainstage, at least for now. THERE IS A BIIIIG DIFFERENCE between playing a grand piano, a Nord/Yamaha workstation with hammer keys, a $500 controller (even with hammer keys) and a $200 controller with "noodle" keys. And I have played them all. The noodle keys are totally fine for pads, but to "properly" play piano, proper key resistance must exist for proper piano expression. For the longest time, I believed that Nords were overrated, but this opinion changed drastically for two reasons. First, I played a Nord Piano 5 (AMAZING KEYBED, enough resistance to help with piano expression, but soft enough to be able to play for a while). Second, Nord sample quality: whatever alchemy Nord is doing to their samples and electronics, the pianos have an unbelievable ability to cut thru the mix without being harsh (and we used Behringer, Allen & Heath and Yamaha sound boards). The Nord hype is real AND is JUSTIFIED, in my opinion. Technically, Stage 4 on its own has some capacity to behave like a Mainstage setup, but I look forward to integrating Nord and Mainstage for His glory!
Yes! Honestly I know it can do way more but as u might see if am a guitarist and don’t have a lot of time to spend with the Nord and figure everything out. But so far it’s amazing. It’s like having a pedalboard at your hands at all times
Honestly u can do so much if you use it at its full potential. I am a guitarist and i am not the best at understanding keyboard language. For me MainStage is my easy way out.
Yes the way i did it was using a 4 channel mixer. Here i am sending the Nord piano and synth into its own channel, Organ into a separate channel and mainstage into another channel
@@robertmichalscheck3072 I believe it’s only Apple Product. But i am pretty sure there’s other similar products you can use with Windows. Mainstage is just a host to run your plugins

Great vid. Glad to see someone from Springfield on YT
Thank you my friend! Blessings
I never undestood why people pay a million dollars for Nords just to not use it as a main board. Just buy a $500 controller???

Why would any church buy a $5700 Nord Stage 4 and then use it as a midi controller?
Hey my friend i am the guitarist from the church and I don’t know how to use it at a 100%. Using it with MainStage is my easy way out.
That's my question!!😀😀😀
Good video.
Thanks! Blessings
awesome. what is the name of the software
Hey my friend! I am using Mainstage 3 to run Keyscape & Omnisphere
Hey bro, I would have loved for you to go over the “arp” track! 😞.. great video though!
Hey for sure i will do a more detailed video
Is it possible to have keyscape piano sound played on the nord, but still use nord layers and stuff with with keyscape piano sound?
Yes, you should be able to either send the VST sound into the nord + using the nord sound or sending the VST sound to mixer + using nord sound.
@@arthurels5832 cool,good news,thx
