Mars Pads: Stage 3 is an incredible collection of ambient pads for the Nord Stage 3 keyboard. Whilst Nord enjoys some stunning factory sounds, it’s long missed out on some of the features Mainstage and Ableton users enjoy. This bundle gives the Nord player 8 different ambient pads designed to work seamlessly within the Nord user interface.

PLEASE NOTE this bundles includes a large amount of top-quality samples, so you'll need to make space in your Nord storage in order to use this bundle.

These sounds take use of the sample engine in the Nord synth section. Once loaded into the keyboard with the Nord Sound Manager you’ll find that each ambient pad is mapped from C1-C2, giving you a continuous pad drone in every key. We’ve created programs which take use of ‘Panel B’, allowing ‘Panel A’ to remain open for any other sounds you’d like to use.

Simply load the preset, press the note of the key of your pad drone and then move to Panel A where you can continue to play your Nord as normal.
