You're referring to the patch he plays at around 30 minutes in (that would have been helpful information).

This is the panel:

You can see that the piano is "Amber Upright XL" and the synth sample appears to be "Grandmas Upright".

You can compare the other settings with the controls on the images here:

Touch 1
String res and pedal noise on.

PAN2 and Chorus 1, Deep, on the synth.

Some equaliser and Delay (Feedback: 3) on the synth.

Reverb Hall, bright.

maybe if someone who has the Nord Grand, could just press shift and be able to see each amount of effects

That Shimmer Upright sound is downright spooky and fun. Perhaps, though, I can save you a little trouble in future pursuits of NG settings. On 09/02/2019, on the Nord Piano/Grand Forum, I posted a compilation of the factory settings for all of the NG Programs. You can find the Shimmer Upright on Page 4, as Program A:55.
