Members tangerine Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I hope that it is a synth, Nordlead 4 with FX and more voices. Or just another nord electro or nord stage? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nillerbabs Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nord Stage with added sample playback, up-to-date organ and expanded memory, or Nord Piano 76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? A follow up to the Lead 3 or any of the G modulars would be very interesting.. Look forward to that... 2011 the year of the VA may be ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Clavia Cronos I don't expect anything from them anymore. They have excellent potential - but the market doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Nord Stage with added sample playback, up-to-date organ and expanded memory, or Nord Piano 76. In my opinion, this is the most feasible, and also the most boring of the responses so far. I'm not saying I don't like the stage, in fact quite the opposite. One of the few boards I still GAS over from time-to-time are the Stage-EX compact and the Electro. Other ideas here like a G3 or something bridging and expanding on the Lead and Wave series would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kwyn Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Will the the keys be weighted like a piano, a synth, or something like the Electro 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nord Stage 2: http://keyboardmag.com/article/clavia-releases-nord/January-2011/126295 A mix-n-match model that resembles the Stage EX? Nord's products confuse me - too much overlap with too many similar products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AnotherScott Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 A mix-n-match model that resembles the Stage EX? Nord's products confuse me - too much overlap with too many similar products. It's exactly the model I've been waiting for! It actually removes confusion from the line. It used to be "You want to upgrade from the Electro 3 to a step up model that adds multitimbral capability, more MIDI controller functionality, and a better keyboard? That's the Stage EX... except the organ isn't as good, and you lose the sample library. You want to upgrade from the Nord Piano to something with more capability? That's the Stage EX... except it's got half the RAM." With most companies, when they sell you up the line through similar-architecture models, you get more; up until now, with Nord, you always lost something along the way. Now you can get it all in one board, if your budget can handle it. Now the Stage is clearly a true step up model to both the organ-centric Electro and the Nord Piano, instead of being a mish-mash of features that always involved a trade-off compared to sticking with something cheaper. (Of course, they also have their line of synths, but I think of that as its own series... the Stage 2 does have a synth section, but it's clearly more limited than the dedicated synths, which are a different market from the "bread and butter" boards.)

Members mate_stubb Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Will the the keys be weighted like a piano, a synth, or something like the Electro 3? Current Stage comes in 3 flavors - 88 key and 76 key piano hammer actions, and 73 key waterfall organ action. I'm sure the new Stage will be the same.

So the Stage 2 is not really an upgrade from everything in the Nord line. Perhaps if a Wave or G2 engine module were dropped into place for the synth module...

Members Minocan Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 So the current line will be, Stage 2Nord PianoElectro 3Lead 2xC2 Sounds good to me. I would get instant GAS from stage 2, if I didn't have an electro 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
