So this might be a fairly narrow question, but as my first post, I figured this would be the place to get a concise answer.
I'm director of music for a very large Catholic church and once a month we hire in an all professional worship band to play for an evening event we have. It's all contemporary praise music -- i.e. Tomlin, Crowder, Hillsong, etc...
For the most part, from a keys perspective, all I use for this is either piano, some ep, and pads...which brings me to my question.
Alot of this praise music features big, open, airy sounding pads that are underneath the texture for an entire selection and used as transitions. I've had some trouble finding patches I like in the in the sample library. Does anyone have some suggestions for pad patches that might fit the bill??
Appreciate your consideration and suggestions...

Thanks for the link DJ -- I will listen through the samples with demo audio.
While #508 is nice -- I'm looking for strictly big, open, airy pads -- no other layered sounds...

Re: PAD Sound Help
Another alternative, if no sound either in the offical Nord Library or this site's fits your needs, is to look at the samples sold by SC Sounds (there are also some free sample sets you can download, if you register to their site)

Re: PAD Sound Help
Your best best is to make a midi connection and use a software synth like Spectrasonic's Omnisphere (Hillsongs and many pro keyboardists use this), or a cheaper option is to buy a DAW like Apple's Mainstage which comes with a large sample library included, with a bunch of nice pads, strings etc.
