Nord Stage 2 EX OVERVIEW

This video provides a brief overview of the amazing new Nord Stage 2 EX. This keyboard is an expanded version of the Stage 2 and ships with a brand new factory sound bank as well as new & improved samples from the new sample library 2.0. The 1GB of memory in the piano section gives Nord users the chance to fully utilise all the amazing samples in the Nord Piano Library and some of the new pianos and samples are demo'd in this video. Enjoy!

Great video Matthew. Nice and straight to the point. I have a Yamaha XS6 Workstation, had it for a year now and i am still finding new and exciting sounds from it..! These instruments will not perform for you, but YOU can perform with them. :)

Great video, Matt! Big fan of your playing. Keep up the good work. :)

[tanjoysound]

Amazing!!! And I really want to know the name of the background music at 0:00~1:30 (sounds like neosoul music?) Thank you very much!!

4:01 dude, Your improvising playing is nice. I came here that Mike Shinoda used the same keyboard in concerts since 2018 - 2019. BTW, does this keyboard has Final countdown intro sound?

its awesome how you can download different piano's, I doubt it but does Yamaha have a similar feature where you can download extra piano's and add them to your library?

Can I go see one somewhere in the Salt Lake City (Utah/USA) area? Guitar center doesn't seem to have any of those models--particularly the EX 88. I want to see how the keys feel under my fingers. You've convinced me on the sounds.

Great demo Matthew! I read your response below that the Nord needs external speakers. Any recommendations?

I am a relatively new piano learner and nowadays I am looking for a proper and decently capable device to persist with my improvement plan. I really find Nord's qualities incredible and I want a device like that to practice with my friends in both house and studio settings. Can anybody recommend me which model of keyboard should I use and buy to get sounds similar to these. My current budget is limited to around 1500 dollars. (I mean 88 keys, real piano key size keyboard which offers decent synthesizer sounds, too.)
I know I want so many things with this budget however maybe someone can help me to clear my mind.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day everyone!
By the way, thanks for uploading this informative video and playing these enchanting improvisations.

What are the notes you play for your short improvisation at 4:00-4:35?

So expensive but the sound bank is perfect :)

[rgx]

i like the back ground tune. is it available for listen ?

[startariot]

Does it have brass sounds? I saw it in the list but confirming cause I didnt hear them much like he had the string & brass ensemble but not brass on its own, anyone know?

[sunilkumarprasad]

you really play awesome.
can u tell me that what is the use of the button that u were using in slap bass.

[omaroacosta]

How did you recorded it??! Does it have a feature where you can record? Cuz it says "all sounds recorded straight from the nord without Externsl Fix?

[tunamusic]

How about hp model's keybed action?

[peacefulpianou]

How do you connect the sounds to the keyboard

After much research and going between many many options, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase the Stage 2 EX. I get it tomorrow. I'm wondering if I'm going to feel underwhelmed with it in real-world use. Please tell me I'm wrong.
