Nord Keytar
Any possibility of us seeing a Nord keytar? I think there are some super solid keytars out there right now and I would love to see them do it.

Re: Nord Keytar
I think it is very unlikely
Keytars have never been a wide selling product (I have had five of them), and, if Nord did decide to make one, it would cost much more than the ones on the market by Korg or Roland. I think they are working towards consolidating their product line and producing a keytar would not be a profitable venture for a small company in my opinion-

Re: Nord Keytar
What makes you think that they are consolidating their product lines?
For the past nine years, it’s been one organ, on piano, one Electro, one Stage, and two synths.

Re: Nord Keytar
For the record: I don’t see a keytar fitting into the portfolio, either.

Re: Nord Keytar
Many of the existing keytars are very much focused on being good MIDI boards, so probably better to buy one of those and run the usual Nord stuff via MIDI.
I also find it unlikely Nord would include a keytar to it's product line. It's a very niche product...

Re: Nord Keytar
I truly don’t see them going this route. Main reason is they’re not used much in 2019.

Re: Nord Keytar
Sure, but don't you think discussing keytar actions and knobbiness (significant) has a bit of mootality about it? You're hardly going to build a set around one, I'm tipping they're mostly pulled out for one or two novelty songs (or they stay on their stand, because when it comes time for the novelty song, the keyboard player chickens out when he catches his wife in the audience shaking her head).

I created my own version of a keytar with a rolling and tilting stand. I've used some version of it for years, well before Nords existed.

Re: Nord Keytar
Here's how I Hammer it...
I found a Behringer UMX490 on Craigslist for $75 bucks. I applied a Panda Audio midiBEAM wireless system and a pair of Straploks.
Tons of fun, and the crowd digs it. (I've never heard as much applause on solos, sitting down.)
