Hi
My new nord 88 piano should arrive tomorrow and i had a few questions that the music store could'nt really answer.
I brought the Nord mainly for the quality of piano sound, and at the moment i use a Yamaha M08 Synth. What i was wondering, is: i use garage band for its great sounding piano patches/sounds VIA MIDI! and i use the on board digital bell piano sound from the yamaha and over lay the two sounds together - so in garage band i record one track of PIANO MIDI and one track of AUDIO WAV as digibel (At the same time) and it sounds great. - Can i do the opposite with the NORD ie: Use the piano sound from the nord and record to garage band as AUDIO/WAV and use a Garage Band sound (MIDI) to play/layer with it?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you

Hello yew2533,
Welcome to the forums.
Yes.
Just remember to set the Nord Piano for a USB-MIDI channel.
This parameter has 32 possible settings:
1 thru 16 as normal 5 pin MIDI
USB1 thru USB16 as MIDI over USB
Also be sure to tell GB which USB MIDI to look for (Nord verses Yamaha)
Cheers, Hanon

Re: Newbie question
I'm sure that you will be pleased.
I believe that it's the best stage piano for the money.
I hope that you will record something for us, I'd love to hear it.
Cheers, Hanon
