Is there also a way converting them to NS4? ‚:)

Edit: Okay Never mind, on the second try i could simply covert it within the Upload in the NordSoundmanager as expected

Very nice and warm pads!!! What keyboard source you've used to sample them from?

Thanks...

is there any good pads i could use for Woship which are already on the NORD5 piano?

Welcome to the forum!

I assume you're looking for CCM style or maybe even Maverick/Elevation style pads. The Nord Piano 5 only has a sample synth that plays samples, and a lot of those samples (like the accordion for example) aren't as relevant to you, so you can delete those to make room for these specially made samples for worship.

However, some samples like the strings samples are good to use in worship, so keep those.

I've downloaded Benjamin Berghahn's samples on this thread into my Nord and I absolutely love them! They're especially good as a drone pad with my Stage 4.

Some other good sounds on this forum include the Strat Pad samples:

And @macsaint777 has some more worship pad (not as ambient/droney) samples for sale as well (sampled from a bunch of classic synthesizers):

Edit:
When you're deleting samples, try not to delete Finnish Kantele (or the NP5 doesn't come with it, download it from the Nord website)
It's basically a hammered dulcimer that's really popular among Hillsong and Passion recordings (layered with piano).

The Piano 5 does have some nice pads installed. I forget which ones I kept when designing patches, and I definitely imported a lot of others, but you can create a nice piano/pad blend for worship with what is there, although it won't be as specialized for CCM as the pads here, which are exactly the right sound for that style!
