Nord Stage 4: Shimmer Patches Collection
This Nord Stage 4: Shimmer Patches Collection features 8 meticulously crafted shimmer patches, built using my high-quality custom-sampled shimmer pads. Each pad has been carefully sampled to ensure the highest possible quality, with the lush shimmer reverb baked in for a rich, atmospheric sound. Designed for musicians who love the shimmer effect and want high-quality shimmer pads without the need for external effects or pedals like the Strymon BigSky. The shimmer effect is fully baked in, providing a rich, immersive sound that's ready to play straight out of the box.
System requirements
Nord Stage 4 88, 76 or compact
OS v1.46 or higher
Mod wheel and Control Pedal
All these patches are designed with the mod wheel and control pedal assigned to adjust the synth filter, allowing you to shape dynamics effortlessly—no need to fiddle with the synth section. Whether you choose the mod wheel or control pedal, both provide smooth, intuitive control over the same parameters, giving you the flexibility to play your way.
Second piano layer
In full-band settings, cutting through the mix can be challenging. To address this, most patches in this collection include simple controls to blend in the second piano sound—an octave higher with slightly longer reverb tails. This enhances clarity, making it ideal for theme melodies or key song sections where you need greater presence in the mix.
Download: Bundle and individual program and sample files
When buying the collection you will receive a bundle file and all the individual program and sample files. The bundle file contains all the piano sounds and strings samples the patches are built with. When importing the bundle to your Nord you will achieve all the sounds I have built the patches with and because of that achieve the exact same sounds as I have. Also, all the piano sounds included in the bundle are in the highest available resolution (XL or L).
If you prefer importing all the individual samples and program files you can do that. In that way you will not receive all the piano sounds I have built the patches with and you may have to relink your piano sounds to the patches. If you have questions about that I would love to help.
The bundle file and the individual program and sample files are just two different ways of importing the patches to your Nord. You will not have to use both methods, I just want to offer you both options, however if you are not used to importing patches to your Nord I would recommend you to use the bundle file.
The bundle size is 822 MB. When buying my patches you will receive importing instructions and in case of any issues I will personally assist you.
