New Cinematic Pads & Textures question

Post by VolvoBrad007 »

Hello fellow Nord lovers,

I hope everyone is having a great day!

With the release of the new Cinematic Pads & Textures for the Nord Wave 2 from Nord on April 08, 2026, I have listened to the programs that are available for preview on the nordkeyboards website and quite like them.

I have a Stage 4 and I was wondering if there is anyone who would be willing to write down the individual settings for each program and share them with the Nord Community from the Nord Wave 2 Programs included in this pack (there are 25 pads and 25 textures, so 50 programs in total) so that they may be recreated on a Stage 4. (There currently is no direct conversion method other than manually programming them, nor any way to view the settings for the programs like you can for the Stages).

As much as I’d like to be able to recreate the sounds (which I’m capable of, and know how to do, and enjoy doing), I only have access to the few on the Nord website, and really need to hear more to be able to really dial in the settings on my Stage 4. I like them as they are, and wouldn’t mind tweaking them a bit more to my liking once I’ve heard what the original sound is.

I very much quite liked them, and would enjoy being able to play them.

I would really appreciate anyone who is willing to help out!

Thanks so much in advance!

- Brad

Hi,

I don't think directly transferring the settings will work, since the Wave 2 has four Synth/Wave/FM/Wavetable engines, while the Stage 4, as far as I know, only has two.

But I'm happy to be proven wrong...

NS4 has 3 Synth layers, anyway they are simplified compared to the NW2's but probably the OP wants to just try to get as close as possible, starting from NW2 parameters and sound demos.

:shock: Wow, how could I have missed that for so long?

Thanks for the info.
