What are some of the best sounding keyboards that emulate rhodes,wurlitzer, hammonds?

[rml42]

The nord has great Rhodes sounds no doubt - the B3 is great too - the immediacy of the controls are important too - I love how easy it is to tweak - the Motif XS has some killer Rhodes sounds to be sure - so does the Kurzweil - Lounge Lizard is pretty neat too - thing is that a weighed or semi weighed keybed are needed to get most out of them.

For B3 sounds you need a waterfall keyboard. I have a Nord Compact and a Korg CX3 - both have waterfall keybeds and once you get used to it there's no going back. I picked up the Organiamtion sounds for the Motif and they are really really good - but it's just not the same on the XS keybed.

The Nord Stage 88 is a nice board - your opinion may differ but I fall into the hate the piano sound camp but for Rhodes Wurlies and B3's it's fantastic - I think the overdrive could be a little better - the new version of the percussion made a big improvement. so if you get a Nord Stage get one of the Studiologic 61 note waterfall controllers and midi into the stage.

I got a Stage Compact - which is like an electro 3 with synth sounds - and again maybe it's me but the synth sounds are nothing special - the Motif XS sounds better.

anyway glad to hear someone is thinking of buying gear I figured with the economy the way it is no one would be buying anything.

any ideas on the pricing for the electro 3 . What model rhodes are preset on the Electro 2. Can you upload other models into the electro like a Mark V if its not already in there?

Umm...I'm gonna have to ask you to use Google and read the manuals and specs on Nord's website for these basic questions. Thanks!

[Skin flute]

thats what these forums are for, to answer my basic questions. so i can skip the searching.

Nope, these forums are not your search monkeys.
Do basic research and then focus your questions on things that are not so easily found via google.

Thanks and welcome to the internets.

wait, If I want to ask why the sky is blue and someone wants to answer my question then why does that concern you? Im really busy and wanted to make my decision soon in order to take advantage of Black Friday. Im writing this on my iphone, and havent given myself proper time to research. Its cool, just dont answer if its to tedious for you. I do appreciate your help.

I do think, Mr. 34 Posts, that if someone politely suggests you peruse the PDF then perhaps you should do so? You want our help. Fair's fair.

[Skin flute]

It has nothing to do with being fair. It has to do with my needs for making this thread. The only internet access I will have for the next couple days is my iPhone, its a pain to really have to do some digging on this phone. Im 95% sure Ill be getting the Nord Electro 2, I just need a few question answered. If you dont want to answer just move on the next thread. thats all its simple. Most of these threads are nonsense anyway, Im sure a couple of my questions wont hurt anyone.

Ok Mr. Skin Flute, I hope you buy your new board on Friday. Here is a thread that will answer any and all questions about the Electro 3.

 

Very Recent Electro 3 Thread

 

Here is the page on Nord's site that will answer all questions about the Electro 2: Electro 2

 

If you are using this forum as your sole decision-maker, I'm surprised you did not see the first thread. Also, out of curiosity, I thought the iPhone was supposed to be a good internet device, but you say it's a pain to use it for research? I'd think it is a lot easier to simply Google some basic stuff and read vs. typing in the paragraphs you've posted here?

thanks eric, the iphones okay but why not get some questions answered here. That is the point Im trying to make. I can post a question and check back later with a possible answer. with out having to be on my iphone for to long. I find it funny that DualLowpass and others with way to much time on their hands can post stupid {censored}. and I get a complaint for asking a couple of questions. Now this thread is off topic and all F 'ed up. I hope we can end this pointless discussion and get back to keyoards. Eric youve been alot of of help and I appreciate it.

[memphis]

The moral of this story: get the Electro and be happy like countless others. If you don't like it you can always just sell it and get the new flavor of the month, like DLP. But if you're actually a gigging musician, I have feeling you'll be satisfied.

 

PS - the Electro2 is awesome, I own one. It's versatile, light, attractive and not too too expensive (considering it is a classic pro board). So go out on black friday and play it. If it's a fit then talk them down to 1150. Just my $.02

[Skin flute]

Well after talking to a friend, Ive decided to hold out for a little while for the electro 3. I hope its not too much more than the electro 2.

Get ready to wait several months and probably pay at least $600 more. Nothing wrong with that if getting a new board is not urgent for you. Apparently you can wait, so more power to you if it is not something you need to make the gigs happen.

 

The Electro 3 will be priced between the 2 and the Stage, so expect the least expensive one to be at least $2k. You can get a used 2 for a grand or less.
