Re: How long to wait for a C2D successor?

I built myself a dual-manual electro, as I gave up dreaming/waiting. I features waterfall keybeds top and bottom, but it does mean I can mix organ and EP/Piano sounds top and bottom (thanks to the capability of the E5D). I've gigged with it for over a year now, and it's held up very well and means I have every option at my fingertips!

I think Nord need to consider this in some form in the future...their answer to the SK range, as Hammond really haven't quite got it sussed, particularly in the Piano department. Should I go into business manufacturing these lower manuals for Nord Electro users!?


Brilliant!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: :keyboard2:

where on earth did you get that picture of a potential dual-manual Electro?? Did you photoshop that or is it a real pic?
This would be a dream set-up for me as I need an organ interface and high-quality AP's/EP's and Synths.
Thanks Mike


Not even as grand as Photoshop! Apple "Preview"!

I expect the C2D successor will lean more towards an dual manual Electro. It'll have to - they can't call it a f**king C3!!!! And it'll need to loosen its grip on the purist market - the Legend Live has won that battle; just look at it - and go for the Hammond SK series as has been said elsewhere.

One element that is missing from all recent 2 drawbar set clones is the ability to call either set up from either manual. I don't know why; we've had this before as the (digital) Korg BX3/CX3 did this beautifully. You had set 1 and set 2 and they weren't upper or lower prescribed, you could select either one on either manual. An 'Electro Duo' would really benefit from this: to have the facility to run non-organ sounds on one manual but still be able to toggle between both sets of drawbars on the other, as you can on a B3 manual, would have my credit card out my pocket in 30 secs flat.

Eventually the C3D could have a piano section, and
it would be possible to play it on the two manuals.

Evenutally the C3D could also be a slightly modified NS3 with two manuals.

Well, It's over a year since I posted this thread - and nothing!

Anything at all from the bush telegraph or rumour mill out there, good people?

Since I started this thread I've had my original C2D stolen and bought another out of loyalty but am really starting to think I did the wrong thing.

Hey LewTheKeysGuy,
You mentioned that you are also into church organs. Have you checked this nsmp file made with GrandOrgue and the Burea church samples.

if Clavia built a nord controller on the exact dimensions of each model (73/76/88) with the perfect upper / lower fit, I'd be happy!

I also always waited for a response from Clavia to Hammond SK...

That’s exactly what I’d like! About the only thing I’d spring for from Nord after purchasing the S3 is a two manual instrument with an HA action manual (preferably on the bottom-76 keys) and a 61 SW on top (and drawbars). That would suck me right back in to the buying market!

Hmmmm.


Seriously, what the heck is Nord waiting for?! This thing would retire the Hammond SKX for good.

I think it would be way to expensive.
Nord have loyal customers, but the competition is hard.
Except Hammond, that some are willing to pay a lot of money for, Crumar, Viscount and Dexibell is aggressively priced.

The C2D is the same exact price as a Hammond SKX right now. Crumar, Viscount and Dexibell don't offer what this proposed C3D does. Not trying to be argumentative here, but i'm not making any sense from what you are saying here. Sounds defeatist if anything. Are you saying it would be too expensive for them to produce or too expensive for the consumer to buy? Either way, I can't see how to agree with the statement.
