2018-05-17

We are thrilled to present the Brandon Coleman Signature Sound Bank for Nord Stage 3 featuring 50 killer patches created by the brilliant US keyboardist/producer Brandon Coleman (Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Childish Gambino).

The 50 exclusive patches are based on the Nord Stage 3 Factory Bank and capture Brandon’s musical universe covering a wide range of genres.

“The jazz musicians are gonna love it, I think the pop musicians are gonna love it and if you have some funk in you, you are gonna really love it….I got some sounds in here that are strictly for the funkateers!”

Nord Stage 3 OS Update v1.40

New Numeric Pad mode

2018-04-10

The new Nord Stage 3 OS v1.40 features a new optional Numeric Pad mode as an alternative way of selecting Programs. In Numeric Pad mode the Program 1-5 buttons are used for quickly entering program number within the current Bank. In this mode the Page buttons are used for selecting Banks.

Please note: With OS v1.40 each bank will contain 25 Programs per Bank instead of 50. Your existing Programs will remain in the same order, but adjusted to the new Bank size for both Numeric Pad and the default Page Based mode. The total number of Programs is unchanged (16 Banks x 25 Programs = 400 Programs). Song Mode lists are not affected by this adjustment.

Download the new Nord Stage 3 v1.40 OS here and see the detailed Update History here.

Nord Sound Manager v7.30 or later is required for compatibility with Nord Stage 3 OS v1.40.

Customer Quotes

I'm a musician/songwriter and have owned several high end Korg and Roland boards over the past 15 years. However, this Nord A1 has done more for my music than any other instrument, including my guitars. It's allowed me to take my music in a new and exciting direction that wasn't possible with any of my Korg or Roland instruments. I've felt as though it was a gift from God from the first day I got it.

I LOVE Nord sounds. I have compared them with my Rolands, my Korgs, and my soft synth sounds. They are solid, and expressive, and real. THANK YOU for your excellent work.
