Hello @Daniel Mikkelsen - Nice to hear from you! Yes, it's available, and I just placed my order for a 73 HA version using my new Sweetwater affiliate program relationship! For those looking to purchase a Nord keyboard at Sweetwater, please use my affiliate link here www.syntorial.com/#a_aid=MyKeysToMusic. You won't pay any extra by using the link, but the commission funds will help support the channel. I plan to have content soon on all this... 👍🏻 🎹 THANKS!

Thank you so much for this treasure of information, the Nord synth is definitely complicated and needs to be explained. here is what I found about Sound initial and program init, you could initial panel A or B with sound init individually. If you'd like to start fresh A& B panels then use the Program init.

Thank you @Joe Palawan - Thanks for the comment! In most of these early videos, I focused on just resetting the synth engine itself and paid less attention to resetting the entire program, but you bring up a great point here and I'm glad you mentioned it.

Thanks for the tips. I believe this one was one of my earlier videos but it is interesting to watch the earlier ones versus the later ones. Had I to do it all over again, I believe the second round of training for the Synth engine would be improved on a number of levels not least of which is my understanding of the synth engine now versus back then.

Good job Marc. I am a very advanced user of this synth, and I think what you are doing will really help a lot of folks out, as this is the only video series on this subject as far as I know. One tip though, if you have the latest OS installed (1.6) when holding shift and sound init, you can double click the sound init button and not have to keep clicking ok. Again, really good job and I applaud you!

You are a true teacher, aiming to pass over knowledge and enable skills steadily but without it being boring. I am learning a step at a time, practising then going back and watching a little more. I have over 50 years piano playing, over 40 years teaching experience and I like to know exactly what I'm doing a step at a time, without being made to feel stupid. I notice my synth doesn't have the number 1 or Basic written on the top of Wave 16 but it's either a different edition of the stage 3, I guess, or I'll find that bit later.

I realize that I don't need to be green-screened "as much" as I do at times but it's important to me to have a more interactive experience as much as possible. To see my expressions at times helps with the process in a very small way (my opinion). In my courses I tend to be on screen a little less. I'm still experimenting with all this even after 100 videos on KZitem and over 300 with the courses. The big surprise is just how many comments there have been along the way. That's where I learn the most. Thanks for watching! 🏄

So the bottom line is, if it's pure training, perhaps there's no need for talking head. But since it's KZitem, I'm trying to connect with people as a KZitem creator so I feel this is best accomplished by people watching me on the screen a bit more.

Love your work. Thanks for educating us. Question. With the envelope control being 3 pole and not 4, does that mean that Sforzando (Sfz) is not supported?
@MyKeysToMusic
4 жыл бұрын
Hi Scadaboy-oh-boy. So, the answer to this question is no, Sforzando in the purest sense is not supported exactly with the lack of the 4th pole. Although you can kind of imitate it a bit if you introduce the Mod Envelope with a decay. (i.e. You'd have a brighter sound at the beginning and as you hold the note, the Mod envelope would decrease the high frequencies giving you an effect of Sforzando via high-frequency reduction rather than purely by volume). I've never head it described like this but I like where you are going here with these thoughts and provides another way to describe the differences between 3 and 4 pole envelopes to a musician who might be new to synthesis.

Hello Marc, Thank you very much! I'd like to ask you whether you know how it is possible to use the Attack, Decay, and Release not only with the Synth, but with the Organ and Piano section too? Daniel
@MyKeysToMusic
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Dani. Great question here. The answer is mostly "no" but there is one small exception to that. So, the ADSR feature only works with the synth engine. Therefore that functionality doesn't extend to either the Organ or the Piano engines at all. Now with the Piano samples from the Piano Engine, the ADSR is already "baked into" the sample creating an ideal situation to best represent those sounds. The same applies to the organ engine where the envelope (in the case of the organ, it's an instant attack, full sustain, and instant release) is representative of exactly how organs produce their sounds. So, you'd think - why change a good thing and mess with the spirit of what a sound is supposed to emulate right? Well, humans are a bit more creative than that and sometimes we want to do crazy things "just because". So, give this a try: Turn on your synth engine. Select "Wave" as your sound selection. Then select "Organ 1" in that category. You'll hear a similar organ sound that the organ engine would produce but yet you can adjust the envelope! I cover this concept more in my synth training videos parts 2, 3, 4, etc. So, I recommend you keep watching the synth series here on KZitem. Oh, and since the synth engine can also play samples, you'll find that there are piano samples available to you within the synth engine whereby you can adjust the envelope as well. So, again, the pure answer to your question is no, but if you get creative with the samples playable in the synth engine, the answer becomes "yes, sort of" 😊 Hope that helps!

Hi Marc! Always thanks for your dedicated videos! I'm writing a comment just to ask something! Are there any online education programs or series of videos explaining about the basics of synthesis? From how an analog synthesizer works, to tips and examples for creating specific sounds, etc. I watched your tutorial abount the basics of synthesis, but I wanted to learn more and deeper about the synthesizer. Since I've purchased a Nord Stage 3 a few weeks ago, and I am going to use it for many years, I thought it is necessary to study about the synthesizer from the fundamentals. It will be a great support if you could recommend any good programs! Thank you :)

@luisfernandes1273 Hello Luis! The keyboards are similar in a lot of ways (especially in the Piano and Organ sections). The synth section is similar in many ways as well, but there are key differences in the way the synth engine works and more features to explore/learn. I have dedicated my time to do this specifically for the Nord Stage 4 in my Pro course found at www.MyKeysToMusic.com called "Master the Nord Stage 4." I may do an Intro to Synthesizers section (for free) as well down the road for the NS4 - but for now, my detailed synth lessons for the NS4 can be found in the pro course. Thanks! - Marc 🎶 🎹

So, it sounds like you already know you want a Stage 3. If that's the case, you have 3 options: the 73 key waterfall keyboard (semi-weighted) with physical drawbars, the 76 key Hammer Action portable with digital drawbars, or the 88 key full-weighted also with the digital drawbars. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages.

@MyKeysToMusic
3 жыл бұрын
@Rick Johnson - thanks Rick - great question. The safest way to experiment like this is to start with a blank program. Navigate all the way to the end of the program list where the blank programs are and pick one to start with there. That way you can build your synth sounds and click "Store" without the worry of breaky anything that already exists. After you do that and you settle on something you like, you can optionally store the synth preset itself independent of the program. In this way, you can use your synth with other programs that already exist easily. Storing a synth preset works nearly the same as storing a program. It's tricky the first time you do it but just follow the screens. You'll find the synth preset store button under the LFO section of the synth. Hope that gets you started!

@@augmentedkeys5971 Yes, the short answer is that the Stage 3 is only 2-part Multitimbral for the same engine. However, you can obviously play sounds from the piano engine, the organ engine, and the synth engine simultaneously giving you a total of six layers. However, only two layers are possible with sounds coming from the same sound engine at one time. A another example of this would be if you wanted to use a bass sample for your left hand and a string sample on your right hand. You can do that. However, you can't have a bass sample on your left hand and a string sample combined with a flute sample on your right hand - that you can't do. In that case, you could play a Fender Rhodes bass part coming out of the piano engine (like the Doors do) and use panels A and B to layer the string and flutes coming from the right hand. Hope this is clear!

Hi Samuel. Technically speaking, the official tremolo effect can only be invoked on a single sound engine on a single panel at a time. So, I don't think this is possible. Of course, it is possible by using two panels and assigning the synth to one panel and the organ to the other, each having the tremolo effect assigned. Thanks for the question!
