This guy’s musicality is off the charts. He is playing top level compositional stuff, and I get the feeling he is halfway improvising. The way he seamlessly glides from r&b/gospel into some super romantic era classical is astounding.
This fella has gotta be one of the most gifted players I’ve ever heard. His transitions are absolutely surreal and just leaves you in a mesmerized trance…
Sure. The Nord Stage 4 is a beast, but it is also as awesome as the player using it, and this guy is just mind-blowing. Give him one for free, cause he just sold a lot for you.
The strings, horns, and choir really sounded amazing! This is being done on a "stage keyboard." Really good stuff. To my ears Nord really sounds amazing.
Yeah...Nord is not trying to make a keyboard for "everyone." They are going after a high-end market of live keyboard players that appreciate what they have to offer. Kind of like Lamborghini isn't making cars for everyone. A Lamborghini is not the best value on the market. They will never sell in mass. But it will provide a different experience than 99% of the cars out on the road. So if it is "overpriced" to you....honestly, you are probably not their target audience.
Another amazing video Mike Patrick is magic I could listen to his playing for days to say that he brings out the best in the stage 4 would be a grand understatement
Mike Patrick is an astonishing player. To go from that amazing gospel piece to that insanely beautiful symphonic choir piece, to bar-room piano to pop is real talent. Incredible player on an incredible keyboard.
His playing tickles my brains! Its out of the charts, enjoyed all the way! And I don´t know anything about keyboards or playing keys. But I can hear excellent playing! Greetings from Finland.
A type of video that brings desire to start learning to play piano. Amazing to see great instruments becoming an extension for musicians who reached full freedom in their transformation of emotion and love into sound. Another level👍
Amazing playing and musicality! After having it for a few weeks and having a CP88 (and a CP4 and a CP80) for many years (and all the best software pianos including Keyscape), I have to admit nothing sounds like the Nord. The Nord is just more expressive, even though the CP88 sounds great. I think Yamaha is loosing big by not having a proper piano section on their keyboards - with proper String Resonance (not only damper resonance), pedal noise, piano-specific eq-options (they have the tone dial on the CP but it is not as good, reverb options are also way better on the Nord) - Things the Nord has had for years and now has gone even further with unison options and dynamic compression options.
I can't get enough of Mike's masterful playing. Where can I buy albums of just Mike Patrick playing keys? I'd buy them all. Mike, do you still play in church, if so is there a live stream link...I'd love to tune-in?
Sounds very good. The guy is a great player. Best UI ever made. I would have one right now if it wasn't that awful red, and it had proper internal storage space. They also need to update those old small sample sets. Come on....for this price....they need to step it up.
Come on now, we watch you both😂 And I’m thinking when I get the idea to post anything with me playing or demoing sounds, I’ll just apologize for not being Jack or Mike, or you, or John Mike, or Cory Henry haha. I’ve got enough gear and sounds but I think people would just be annoyed ha. But seriously it seems like everybody watches the other guy nowadays and that’s actually cool.
Hahahahahahaha, this was to fall in love with! like, it was to laugh and to cry in the same time, Mike, what the hell with you bro? This was outstanding! And then of course, the desire of Nord to send its users and its listeners too (luckaly) in to a dimention we've never been before is their main goal. Absolutely wonderful, it's a joy to listen to this!
great job ! quick question perhaps a silly one but is the 3:15 Choir & Strings Patch a preset or you created it? I am trying to get mine to sound like that but not even close.thanks
Wanted to see why this costs what it does.. only one thing stood out to me, but it stood out in a big way, was the strings, choir, horns or whatever. That sounded absolutely MINT. Sounded beautiful.
As a middleaged, single, straight, "shockingly caucasian" (Bill Burr) german Composer, all I have to say is: "Patrick, I want your Baby!" So I can hear him play and teach the piano...and theeese colorful harmonic progressions every day! (Extrem-Fanboy-Mode) Edit: "And see this happy Smile on his face that just is like Worldpeace" ;-)
This was a great video! and as usual Mike's musicianship is crazy! Question though Is Mike Patrick no longer with Yamaha? I must say the strings patch here doesn't come close to his Montage's Strings & Flutes patch
Have to agree with you 100% - This Keyboard is Fire for sure, but the strings are not a 'Patch' on the Montage's. Also. The way the Montage allows you to set up and move through scenes is something else.... With that said, I'm sure that he barely scratched the surface with this beast.. No doubt plenty more to come. Sorry for the bad joke 😃.
Have a look at the shootout for stagepianos under 1500 and you understand that this man makes any keyboard so attractive. And for all others who need a perfect keyboard / sound to sound great nord is a good opportunity to start…
I would love to see an overlay of what songs he, or anyone who is playing something is- there's so many times I hear a tune I want to learn while watching these videos, and want to learn them, but just don't know what they are!
Firing it all Out there. Mike Crazy Fingers Patrick. Just chilling out on the couch listening. Clavia should immediately shell out full endorsement.makes it sound like a million bucks. In trio Situation with drums and doublebssb would be nice too
The playing is absolutely faultless! However I’d like to see more videos that don’t merely demonstrate the player’s undoubtedly phenomenal skill, but show them using the morphing live, combining sounds effectively and fx and modulating the synth, completely on the fly. Also if they can justify the price tag 😂
There's a clicking or tapping siund with each touch of the keys. What is it? An artifact of the recording process? Or does the keyboard itself make this noise? Disconcerting!
This guy’s musicality is off the charts. He is playing top level compositional stuff, and I get the feeling he is halfway improvising. The way he seamlessly glides from r&b/gospel into some super romantic era classical is astounding.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Amazing!
Have you seen this demo on the Montage 7 with the Orchestral patches? Felt like I was watching a movie score, unbelievably good.
@@tonylancer7367 I feel like you are introduced me to a rabbit hole that I’m willingly jumping into 😂
Agreed! 🎹
agree
This North Stage is demoing Mike Patrick really well.
That's a brilliant comment! Very witty 😄
North?

/s
@@Zclsumtry gospel, inversions, and 20+ years of experience
I couldn’t agree more😂you have to be well studied and skilled to make this piano sound the way Mike did lol!
Mike Patrick is worth searching for on your favorite music platforms!
The strings, horns, and choir really sounded amazing! This is being done on a "stage keyboard." Really good stuff. To my ears Nord really sounds amazing.
But incredibly overpriced ✌🏾

@@Google_Was_My_Idea_nr.1 Naaa, it's worth it.
@@darrickkeels6387that’s a Ferrari, not a Lam
If I could play half decently I’d buy one in an instant, and I might buy one anyway, just because I want one.
That piano over organ patch is so smooth! Awesome playing!
New fav patch for main keys
Another amazing video
Mike Patrick is magic
I could listen to his playing for days

Mike Patrick is an astonishing player. To go from that amazing gospel piece to that insanely beautiful symphonic choir piece, to bar-room piano to pop is real talent. Incredible player on an incredible keyboard.
The classical piece he played with choir and strings was so beautiful and the sound of the Nord is unbelievable ..massive thanks and appreciation
I agree, that was amazing!
do you know what song that was? i feel like I've heard it but can't name it.
The brief stuff starting at 8:20 is unexpectedly fantastic hahah
Go watch his osmose video, he does this "song" on it as well
Mike Patrick, always a pleasure to hear you play the keys. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Amen to that!
His playing tickles my brains! Its out of the charts, enjoyed all the way! And I don´t know anything about keyboards or playing keys. But I can hear excellent playing! Greetings from Finland.
What buddy was playing around 4:44 sounds like it couldve been a score in Lion King 🔥🔥
Mike improvising Enya was absolutely insane. You fckng made my day!

That's a sick intro with the organ sliding in. 🥲🥲
I'm in awe. This man is phenomenally talented!
Dude is an inspiration for sure. Amazing player.
Choir and strings was fire 🔥
I can't get enough of Mike's masterful playing. Where can I buy albums of just Mike Patrick playing keys? I'd buy them all. Mike, do you still play in church, if so is there a live stream link...I'd love to tune-in?
Mike looks like they are in pure heaven- great video
My man's been checking out a little Tatum! Mike, you're so baaaaad! Wonderful player.
One of my favourite keyboard players. So humble.
Absolutely superb stuff !
That second demo was unbelievable
Solid performance Mike
It’s amazing how he blend the piano and organ. Awesome board. Nord is next level in keyboards. 🎹🎶
Sounds very good. The guy is a great player. Best UI ever made.
I would have one right now if it wasn't that awful red, and it had proper internal storage space. They also need to update those old small sample sets. Come on....for this price....they need to step it up.
Mike is amazing, and definitely goals, getting to demo new keyboards for Nord and Yamaha lol
Come on now, we watch you both😂

I’ve got enough gear and sounds but I think people would just be annoyed ha. But seriously it seems like everybody watches the other guy nowadays and that’s actually cool.
Wonderful and joyful playing - and fantastic sounds. It’s time to upgrade from my trusty NS3 88.
Phenomenal playing.
Mike is so awesome. He makes the Nord sound so good.
One word:
OUTSTANDING 🎹
Nice demo, thanks dude!
I live in the US so could never be a customer, so I watch Anderton's vids just for Mike. His playing is sublime.
Hahahahahahaha, this was to fall in love with! like, it was to laugh and to cry in the same time, Mike, what the hell with you bro? This was outstanding!

When he was playing the Verbed Marimba I kept waiting for Guybrush Threepwood to show up.
You legend @mikepatrick!! You could play the Stage 4 all day....I'm sure a lot of us could listen all day (in awe).
Would love to hear Mike again on the Stage4, but also using the Genki Wave to add another dimension of expression.
Such a blessed talent.
Oh my 🤯🤯 a phenomenal musician elevating an instrumental to its full potential ❤
great job ! quick question perhaps a silly one but is the 3:15 Choir & Strings Patch a preset or you created it? I am trying to get mine to sound like that but not even close.thanks
We layered it up there on the spot, hopefully the shots of the screen and controls give an idea of what makes the patch 👍
Was that Sail Away by Enya around the 9:00 mark?? 😂😂🫡🫡
Yeah, Orinoco flow. Amazing, love that he bust that out! :-)
Most awaited video
the kyeboard with the player! Such an inspiring performance. I want to play like this :D
So lovely!
The fact that he barely uses his right pinky to play stuff like this is mindblowing.
Imagine being Mike Patrick and waking up everyday with GOD MODE ACTIVATED.
"i wish i had 5% of his talent" says the self taught bar room player.. simply amazing!
8:51 (with the ”Bubble Layer“ patch) seems to be inspired by Enya‘s song ”Orinoco Flow“. :)
amazing demonstration!
There are musicians, and then there are Musicians. Mike is top tier.
Wanted to see why this costs what it does.. only one thing stood out to me, but it stood out in a big way, was the strings, choir, horns or whatever. That sounded absolutely MINT. Sounded beautiful.
1:22 My fav part
What song was that or was it just nothing but great chords together.
Jaw dropping
Always amazed to see him play. Would love to see you guys trying the KORG SV-2 and the Grandstage. Thank you for the vid!
You'll find them in their old videos
Could we get a video on how Mike thinks about his chord choises?
I just started playing (late in life) and I wanna be like Mike!!!

had never heard anyone play such nice Marimba on a $6k machine
This keyboard *player* is so sick! This keyboard *player* is so sick!
For the price it better be and is sick! Number 1 stage piano... big up to Enya at 9:00 mark
you the shit homie, keep it pushin
Is it wrong that the Mike Patrick videos bring me here most of the time?
Nope I have zero interest in nord keyboards but Mike is like a musician magnet .
So talented
That is one hell of a musician... I hardly even noticed the keyboard...
So Patrick, you coming back to the Nord team, teaming up with the bro Daniel Bingham? 😏
The Enya section was noiice!
Mike's really making that Orinoco flow
Wonderfull !!!!where can i found the chords of the second part whith choirs and symphonic orchestra
Mike is ministering to my soul here..... have mercy
So sick. I might have to delay my next purchase so I can afford this carnivorous beast of a keyboard.
What I hear and feel when you play is other worldly spiritual...😢
He is so talented and so sweet.
Wow this guy's playing is top level !
mans right pinky flexion gives me nightmares- must have a mind of its own, nuts player. sail away sail away sail away
wheres the classes yo, this guys legit
This was a great video! and as usual Mike's musicianship is crazy! Question though Is Mike Patrick no longer with Yamaha? I must say the strings patch here doesn't come close to his Montage's Strings & Flutes patch

Finally! Wanted to get his thoughts on this new anode!
What song was he playing at 4:10
Great homage to Enya there at the end. 😊
Great advert for the keyboard .. but right now, after watching that, I just feel like giving up! What a player!
Yo was you using a foot pedal to bring the extra layers? I never saw you hit a switch!!!🤔 if so I’m sold!!!
The chords @ 2:50-3:00 were siccc
basic chords
This guy playing needs to be given a cut from Nord! Just his playing of this Nord keyboard makes me want to go out and buy one!!
Blessing Offor needs a nord 4
I can just repeat this episode as my background music.
Great musician.
Nice playing always. He spoke so highly of the Yamaha, has Nord changed his mind?
depends on who pays him the most! traitor
lol!
Amazing

Pretty sure most (all?) of what he is playing here is improvised....dont disagree with your point though
The “Bubble Layer” section is him riffing over Orinoco Flow by Enya
Firing it all Out there. Mike Crazy Fingers Patrick. Just chilling out on the couch listening. Clavia should immediately shell out full endorsement.makes it sound like a million bucks. In trio Situation with drums and doublebssb would be nice too
What is going on with Patrick's right pinky? It is almost unused 😮
He never uses it 😂😂😂

Kirk Franklin and scritti politti i think :) Well played....My piano just went up for sale and it will be cheap to buy...hahaha
Which songs?
There's a clicking or tapping siund with each touch of the keys. What is it? An artifact of the recording process? Or does the keyboard itself make this noise? Disconcerting!
