Thank you for purchasing Saturn Stage 3.

With Saturn: Stage 3, you don’t need to be a technical genius, these patches will unlock your creativity and allow you to stay focussed on playing and worshipping. This bundle gives you 14 stage and studio ready patches, each one creating a different atmosphere or taking you into a new sonic world. These patches release the potential of the Nord Stage 3, taking full use of the sample engine, synth engine ,effects, LFOs, filters and arpeggiators. Using the morph function allows you to take control of the layers making it easy to fit in the mix or stand out.
