Nord Grand 2 - Building a Piano and Synth Pad Layered Sound Tutorial - Perfect for Worship/Church!

This video is a step by step tutorial on making a piano and synth pad layered sound on the new Nord Grand 2. Throughout this video I take a factory synth pad and use the power of the sample synth section and the effects to turn it into a soft synth pad that sounds great layered underneath the White Grand piano sound!

I hope this video is helpful for you in setting up a sound that works well for worship/church music and of course this sound works well for any other genre of music where a piano and synth pad layer is needed! The Nord Grand 2 provides great layering and control capability compared to the old Nord Grand 1!

Sold my NG & picked up the all-new Nord Grand 2 last week. I'm enjoying it so much! Your videos helped alot, appreciate it! 😀😃😁

Fantastic video! Clearly explained. Thankfully, I now have my own NG2, so any/all the tutorial videos you can provide will be much appreciated! May God Bless you!

Thank you! This is helpful. To date, I've just used the preprogrammed sounds on my Nord keyboard plus some reverb, but I'm ready to experiment with making my own programs. This tutorial is VERY helpful, even though I don't have a NG2. Coming from having an acoustic piano, taking full advantage of what the Nord offers can be intimidating.

I have had the Nord Grand 2 for a few days and thank you for your clear explanations which were very useful to me.
I have a question about the SOFT REL function. even when it is on I do not hear any difference. I thought it added a little release for a slightly less dry duration when you release the note.
Should it be set, I did not see anything in the user manual?

Can you do a tutorial on how to layer sections of the board? Such as have piano throughout the entire board but layer strings on the bottom half of the board. I am using the NG1 and it does not have that option. I’m looking to purchase a NG2 if it has that ability.

Thank you for showing this. I have one question considering the Individual effects per layer. If I turn the knob to a specific value for piano section A and then switch to B and turn it to another value and then say "hmm i need to go back to A and change it there again". Ist the effect value then already overwritten by the value of section B because the knob is in a different Position as it was when i left the section A before. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you!!

Thank you so much these tutorials. I have orded a NG2.
The NG2 supports droning and play the piano at the same time?
I ve watch all your NS4 videos, and i was so divided between ordering a NG2 or a NS4. I m kinda insure still. 😅
The NS4 seems so much fun. What you can do on the NG2 that you can t on the NS4?
Again, thank you for keep inspiring!!!

I’m very curious what you think about the new MPC 3 software?

does the nord grand 2 support pitch bend like if you use a external keyboard like the hammer 88 and move the pitch wheel
