Re: Looking for a 2nd keyboard similar to nord but Cheap
thanks. is it as easy as nord to change patches?
for example on the nord i will have it set up like:
Strgs brass hammnd Piano
10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4
then i just hit one of the 4...
900$ may be a little much.. anything cheaper?

Re: Looking for a 2nd keyboard similar to nord but Cheap
Patches are easy to change on the VR-09. Just don't try and control it with midi (except for secondary performance keyboard). Nords seem to retain their value so not sure I would go with a pre Electro 5. They really aren't much cheaper. If someone had a cheap keyboard with the same features of Nord, then they probably would buy it.

Good price. Prepare yourself for some tactile disappointment.
