Nord Stage 2 Preset Competition Idea

Post by Lyonart »

I have noted that some contributors on this forum have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of "presets" that can be used out of the box for the Stage 2.

Whilst I personally enjoy twiddling and experimenting with my new Stage 2, I can completely understand the point of view being expressed by others and am sad to see other forum members having to consider selling their instrument in view of a lack of presets to trade it in for a Kronos (Arrgh!!!).

A couple of years back, Nord released a collection of Nord Wave presets called Nord Wave Super Sounds:

This got me thinking.....

Would it not be a great idea if the lovely folk at Nord asked some of its best sound designer friends to come up with some great presets for the Nord Stage 2 (primarily in the synth/sample area) so that the number of "out-of-the-box" sounds that some have demanded can be greatly increased?

Nord could also open this up to Nord User Forum members and give us all a little challenge to come up with some great sounds. Would it not be great to see your sounds on the nord website or loaded into a newly shipped keyboard

Just an idea..........thoughts welcome....especially from the Nord Crew.....

Still not heard from the Nordcrew with my latest idea........

Probably too busy prepping for the new release at NAMM 2012.

I'll keep banging my drum (....or clap my hands as there is no icon for drum banging yet...) and hope someone eventually hears me.......... :clap:
