Nord Stage 4 - Using the Layer Scene II Feature

In this video I show you how to use the Layer Scene II function on the Nord Stage 4 to create two variations within the same program! I use this feature all the time in church for switching between a simple and a more complex version of the same layered sound. When set up right, this feature adds an extra level of control over your program and allows you to use the same program in multiple ways!

This was very helpful just like your many other tutorials. While the layer scene function is very simple and would only take 1 minute to explain, I learned heaps from you fiddling with the sounds, applying effects and so on.
It would be amazing if you could do a series of tutorials on walking us through each section of the layer effects section, and how you would apply each effect and their variations. I find reverb and mod 2 effects easier to understand, but others are harder to apply.
I tried searching on YouTube and so far there are no videos that provide an overview for this on the Nord Stage 4, so your expertise and insight on this would be amazing!

Again, I learned so much just from you creating a new soundscape. Even if you continued doing this in future feature videos as practical examples, I will still learn a lot!
Keep up the good work, God bless!

First off I would like to thank you for your videos. It's very nice of you to share your knowledge. However, after listening to your video, I still am not clear as how the basic scene two function works. There were WAY too many tangents off into other areas of the keyboard and effects making it very difficult for the listener to focus on learning the feature. Hope this helps and thank you again for creating these videos. :)

Hi, hope you're ! I have a Roland RD300NX and I play many musics using the split mode.
1- How split works in Nord4?
2- How many parts is possible to split ?
3- How many sounds is possible by split?
4- Will I have volume control and effect for each split section?

tks a lot !

Anyone know if it's possible to midi control the layer scene button? Like can I have playback session send CCs to swap the layer scenes?

[Mynelka]

Don`t you need to SAVE the layer scene to access it when you turn the synth on again ?

What is the best amp to use for the Nord? Maybe for a small room that seats no larger than 100 people
