In Sampha's Tiny Desk, he uses some beautiful patches on the Nord Electro 5 HP. I was wondering if anyone could identify whether these are factory samples and if so, which specific ones.

The first patch seems to be some sort of EP layered with an ambient detuned pad or heavy reverb with delay which he turns down later on. It can be seen here from 0:00 to around 3:30 after which he switches to a more conventional piano patch and then this patch.



The second patch seems to be more of an ambient synth sound with detuning and tremolo if I'm not mistaken which comes it at around 4:30.

A similar (or the same) patch can be heard on his cover of Nothing Compares 2 U. I'm not 100% whether this is still an Electro because of the lack of video, but he seems to use the Electro in all of his live performances and as mentioned prior, it does sound similar to the Tiny Desk patch.
