Nord Stage 3 Presets by Eric Barfield
$45.00
This massive preset bundle for the Nord Stage 3 by Eric Barfield has EVERYTHING you need for your next set. Carefully curated for worship musicians, these Nord presets are Eric's personal go-to sounds when he is touring or recording for some of the top worship and CCM artists. His many years of experience as a touring/recording musician, producer, and sound designer shine throughout each preset in this inspiring bundle.
This collection of presets contains 158 total files, 50 Program Files designed for the worship keys player, 50 Synth Presets, 21 Piano Sample Files, and 27 Sample Libarary Files.
All patches include programming for both Panel A and Panel B. All patches are designed with a more subdued Panel A program, and then if you hold down Panel A and tap Panel B, you get a more energized "second" patch that combines both panels together. This means you essentially have 200 patches to use and explore!
Every patch also has expression pedal and mod wheel mappings so that you can have the most amount of control over your tone.
Please note that these presets are only compatible with the following keyboards:
- Nord Stage 3 88
- Nord Stage 3 HP76
- Nord Stage 3 Compact

Preset Details
Imperial Piano
An old piano with a sine-based pad, that blooms with Panel B into a double octave reversed beast.
Soft Imp Piano
Muted piano with a subtle pad, adding an octave up and brighter pad with Panel B
Lady D Piano
A brighter piano with an 80's inspired pad, adding an octave up on both pad and piano on Panel B
Italian Piano
A reverb heavy piano with a breathy pad. With Panel B, you get doubled octave heavily reverberated pad and piano.
Velvet Piano
An upright-like piano with a nice organ tone. Panel B adds an octave up subdued organ. Perfect for quiet worship songs.
Silver Piano
With a nod to Bon Iver, this piano has a double octave and a glistening pad.
Studio Piano
Cinematic in nature, this Japanese piano is present with a string pad behind it.
Bright Piano
A cutting piano sample with a subtle pad. Panel B has a resonant string strike that adds depth to the piano.
Octave Piano
A no frills double octave piano, perfect for big songs.
Royal Piano & Organ
A simple organ/piano pairing. Try out the mod wheel or an expression pedal with this one.
B Piano & Strings
Another simple pairing, with the strings on Panel B so it has its own reverb level.
E Grand Piano
A CP80 electric keyboard with a little autopan, adding Panel B adds an octave.
Bambino U Piano
A jangly upright with a pump organ pad, adding Panel B doubles the octave on the pump organ.
Back U Piano
Large upright piano with a choir pad. Panel B adds double octave to everything with more reverb.
Grand U Piano
An oversized upright, that feels like a grand piano. There’s a late 70’s string machine pad, and everything doubles in octave when you add Panel B.
Mellow U Piano
Perfect for intimate songs, this muted piano is combined with a mellotron-based flute pad. Double octave on Panel B.
Queen U Piano
This vibey patch has an accordion added that’s sweepable with expression or mod wheels.
Rain U Piano
This dark upright has an arpeggiated pad on Panel B. The pad uses a harp sample and a heavy dose of reverb to swell in a massive ambient drone.
Romantic U Piano
Another darker upright, this piano and pad combo is brighter than the Rain U Piano, and can get aggressive if you dig into it.
Blue U Piano
This early upright was one of Nord’s first samples, and holds up well. It is paired with a more modern sounding supersaw pad for a contrast live.
U Piano & Organ
A basic piano/organ split, this time with an upright piano.
EP 1
A basic Rhodes 73’ sample, that quickly turns extremely ambient when you introduce the doubled octave on Panel B.
EP 1 Atmos
A very washy Rhodes with heavy pads and delay.
EP 2
A brighter Rhodes with a very relaxed organ flute pad. Panel B adds lots of reverb and a second pad.
EP 3
Top-end heavy electric piano sample with lots of reverb. Dig in and it really cuts, but quiet playing lets it create a soundscape.
EP 4
A basic, no-frills electric piano with a gentle pad.
EP 5
A delayed late 70’s electric piano, with a breathy pad without a lot of reverb.
EP 6
Reminiscent of the 80’s, this electric piano/synth combo is perfect for big choruses.
EP 7
Inspired by early 2000’s worship, this electric piano and synth can fill a lot of space.
Wurly 1
A basic Wurlitzer 200A with a simple pad.
Wurly 2
Driven Wurlitzer with a breathy flute-based pad.
Wurly & Organ
A basic combo, with some tricks. Add Panel B for doubled octave on both, and sweep in organ with an expression or mod wheel.
DX Praise
Heavy on the 80’s feel, this patch uses the DX7 samples in Nord keyboards to create some retro magic.
DX Vibe
Washy, dreamy, and all the feels from the late 80’s.
DigiGrand 80s
A big sampled piano with pad, this patch harkens back to Peter Gabriel, early Hillsong, and more modern praise and gospel albums.
DigiGrand Praise
A straight praise break patch, this preset combines organ, synth, and piano to help you get down when someone needs to run the aisles.
Organ 1
A basic organ with a quiet personality.
Organ 2
A little distorted, with enough low end to shake the pews.
Organ 3
Some unusual drawbar splits with a light touch and a little chorus.
Pad 1
Subtle when the cutoff is low, but blooming into a chorused dreamscape with the expression pedal open.
Pad 2
Distant breathy pad, with a lot of movement when cutoff is fully opened up by the mod wheel.
Pad 3
Powerful and forward, this pad feels similar to a pipe organ.
Pad 4
This sampled string patch starts with a subdued string section on Panel A. Add Panel B for a massive tremolo string soundscape.
Pad 5
An icy sounding pad that never fully takes over the stereo field.
Communion PadA subdued piano/pad combo specifically designed for communion or padding over a speaker.
Communion Pad 2
A second option for down moments / communion, but with a little more energy.
Synth Keys 1
A Phil Wickham-inspired keys part, perfect for more modern worship.
Synth Keys 2
Almost electric piano-based, this keys part is perfect for when you don’t want to play piano on a song.
Synth Keys 3
Perfect for builds, this keyboard synth adds a delay to create motion.
