I am interested in buying Nord keyboard, but can not decide between Nord Piano 3 and Nord Stage 2EX. I am kind of new here so I need your help in understanding everything before making final decision. Here are some comments and questions I would like to discuss, so I will appreciate everyones opinion:
- 1. I really care about quality of keys and after I tried both keyboards - my general impression is that Nord Piano 3 has much better keys compared to Nord Stage 2EX. On the other hand, I am a little disappointed about Nord keys generally - for example, Roland RD800 has much better keys comparing to Nord Piano 3 and I don't understand why? I really like NORD design and sounds and the idea of transferring sounds with very user-friendly application to your keyboard, but somehow I really got an impression that the most important part when we are talking about stage pianos is somehow left out.
- 2. Do you know how often NORD releases new keyboards? I heard some rumours that the next Stage model will have the same keys as Nord Piano 3 model, do you know anything about that? That could be really good solutions for those who need better keys comparing to the ones that current model has.
- 3. What is the general difference between Nord Piano 3 and Nord Stage 2EX, since both keyboards can use the same library sounds?
- 4. Is there possibility to use NORD library sounds with other keyboards? Can they be used as a virtual instrument, for example with Kontakt plugin?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
