Nord Electro 5 - Official Demo 

hahaha

LOL underrated comment

Brian Bernstein and those are the SALES prices

That's exactly what I was thinking! what a shame.. such a modern product and then you have this simple thing that make this whole product like you wanna cry :( that's a no for me!

That's the reason why I have a Korg Kronos and not a Nord product, even though I'd love to have at least one electro in my arsenal.

My Roland JV80 and JV1000 let's you switch patches smoothly....

DeanoPiano True... I think it's because in the electro, sounds come from diferent sources. let's say that when you change from a piano to a synth, you are turning off the piano engine, and tourning on the sample engine.

DeanoPiano I think part of that is the 'performance', too. There are things you can do musically to have that harsh transition be diminished that he didn't do.

My Casio SA 20 has smooth morph between patches.....Shame Nord

bleve32 It's Dave Gilmour in the 60s ;-)

Seach Jesús molina on youtube

Hipster-Jesus that is....

Mario Marroquin Never mind... I just realized they Updated the Stage to Stage 2 EX. Which isn't a big update, but still, it's something. lol

+Cyber Forest Because it's fucking good

I got it 1000$ off from musicians friend

+Cyber Forest because its the best shit ever

it's a good thing you didn't live in the 70s or 80s when synths cost almost as much as a new car.

Cyber Forest Right, to expensive, i stick to Yamaha

They compress patches with their algorithm but their take is to have a stage keyboard that you can tweak on the fly. Nord also does not want to eat into the competition with the stage.

The keyboard hero strikes!!

They use a different sort of memory drive that's wayyyyyy more stable and less likely to fail over time. The downside is, it's a lot more expensive to produce. Hence less memory. Nords are really like tanks, you could almost throw them around :P

I doubt it until I will see which chip they do use and it's cost.

Jay D.... You mean an SSD?

theorgandude For me at least, i think it's really cool the extra memory, the drive efect and the layer and split. And the songlist-programing thing is not the big thing... but it make it a little more practical

+theorgandude Those are exactly my words :D Except I have electro 3 :D

+Carlos Gallagher They didnt mention it in this video but the organ section and leslie have been updated to be the same spec as the C2D

Gideon Waxfarb to think display in any way impacts the quality of the keyboard is ignorant.

It does when you're visually impaired like me :P Plus, it's just comical that they call it a large display.

Ah I see, I apologise! Admittedly the display isn't the conventional 'large' haha

+1 moxf6. I had the moxf8 and there's a lot you can do with it.

Jade Pascual 100% agree, Nord is overpriced

Steven Blum the new stage has it

Ryan Hernandez For me in Germany, stores offer it. It's just a Nord stand, I think you should be able to find it! ^^ EDIT: "Nowsonic Nord XStand", to be precise!

Home Depot aisle 3

+Matthis Meyer Looks like Boss FV-500L to me :)

Kronos is a workstation. Electro is a stage.

And that justifies 1GB worth of samples for the price?

***** It isnt a board that made for everybody to have. Nord intentions is to have a board that is closer to an analog experience where sounds can be tweaked on the fly. Apparently it is good enough for many top stage performers. Im not endorsing them but i get what they're trying to do. Also, they have an compression algorithm that allows for more room without loss....so 1GB could be two in this case.

I used to have a Nord Electro 3. The difference between the three and the five is hardly anything yet the price point is still unreasonably high. The keys aren't weighted, the keyboard isn't heavy and the functionality hasn't changed a whole deal. There have been major advancements made by Korg and Yamaha in terms of functionality and combinations of top quality sounding pianos with layers and patches. Don't get me wrong, I've used these keyboards for many years and enjoy them. This is more a question of whether they are keeping up with their competitors. Regardless of whether the experience is meant to be analog or not, at the end of the day the question remains. Is it competitive with what's coming out today at similar price points? The answer is no. We're going to have to respectfully agree to disagree on this one.

***** Its more of an organ based but what I am saying is that I think Nord is more exclusive based vs competitive, not every body buys a Ferarri or a Lambo. Also Nord is in a different eso system in terms of functionality,your still trying to compare apples to oranges.

Matt Bretania yes, you can transpose the lower part and/or the upper part separately

Nowsonic Nord XStand

Keyboard sounds great. So many samples Well supported. cons: heavey. 6 mins. to boot. Very steep learning curve. Sound libraries expensive and not transferable.

well i am french, so i don't know the exact translation but i feel that the keyboard is too "soft", it doesn't have a good key response... i use a Hammond XK1-C, and i think that the "XK serie" is the best organ clone i ever heard, and the best plug-in is Mainstage's Vintage B3... Actually the Nord Electro is not a bad product, but when you play Hammond products, other clones doesn't feel so realistic...

yeah, Nord keyboards are good ones!! but I tried them and i tried Hammond... i agree, you have to chose your keyboard in terms of your feeling!! i just wanted to say that if you usally play on real B3, Nord products are not the best... but if you want the REAL feeling of a b3, you can buy it for 9000€... ;(( thanks Hammond!! ;D

Agree, overpriced stuff, there are other stuff out there, cheaper and good performance

Please can you give me a couple of examples? Looking forward to buy an electric piano, thanks

+Digital Ghost The amount of time that goes into creating those chips (and the software on them) * the possible market for a high-end keyboard emulator (a lot smaller than a general purpose synth)

+Adam Gilmore yeah no

that's why the nord is more expensive than the plastic consumer crap at walmart.

chieftp I'm sorry, what's why it's more expensive? You didn't give a single reason. And you really couldn't if you tried. Sure a lot of time goes into creating chips, but it's not a lot of time creating every single chip in every single keyboard. It's one master blueprint that they put on every chip, and that's not worth thousands of dollars.

***** feel free to start your own company, hire people to develop and manufacture a product, build the buildings and equip them as necessary and let's see what you can sell your product for.

+TSDREX I would go soft synth, but afraid of crashing live on stage.

+Mark Landes not if you have a decent Computer/laptop with decent amount of ram, Can get NYRV Systems agent vst which saves CPU aswell plus kontakt "nord stage 2" is lot cheaper but still sounds the same as the real thing

How much ram would I need working on a Mac? or do you recommend a windows laptop?

I suggest 16 GB of ram should be good enough, as kontakt library are more ram heavy when loading the samples for nord stage, More ram and a alright CPU will defo not make you crash if you check out Scan computers search them on google they seeling laptops with 16 of ram for £700 can go higher price but i think they go higher because of the graphics card but you can build your own laptop on thier website i think, and i don't recommend getting Macs they are over priced and last time used a mac it kept on freezing just with built in plugins on logic lol

Thank you for your help.
