Coverbands need many many sounds, so proper Gear can be very expensive (my point of view)

Everything IMHO...

Hell, yeah, I know that.... I'm going back to tell my wife that I'm not a gear addict, I'm just a poor cover keys player...

I play in two cover bands, and as I've downloaded more sounds to my Electro 5D, I've gotten to point where I don't even need my other boards for gigs. The Roland and the Yamaha now sit in my house when I play out. Programmed properly, the Electro does everything I need.

same here.. play in a cover band or two. unless you absolutely need mod wheel/portomento type control for your synth sounds, there's nothing this little box can't do. (can cure your asthma too).

I don’t get it. What’s the point of starting a conversation here by just shouting you think the NE5 is overpriced? It leads to nowhere in my opinion. In my years of making music I bought so many instruments and effects that turned out not to be the ones I liked or needed most. I just sold them and bought new gear. Thats the fun of having a hobby right? I think the NE5 is worth its money. I tried some cheaper instruments but they just didnt have all the good stuff I find in my NE5. I totally agree with duplobaustein, Nord and Apple are the more expensive products. But the are also the most fun to use products. Hope you can sell your NE5 for a good price and find an instrument you do like.

I am happy with my electro 6 and I think it's wordt the money IMO.

There is a lot the NE can’t do...

Guys...he just registered to vent.

He made two posts, got it off his chest and left. You’re arguing with a phantom.

Kind of why I didn't get involved. Wasn't worth the effort.

You're going to like something or you're not. If you do, great. If not, please move on and leave the rest of us alone.

@Rusty Mike and Analogika:
Yes, you're right, I was surprised of him not responding anymore after his two posts....Well, that's it...Bye "Not happy with your Electro guy"....

Sorry that I didn't reply faster but actually figured to wait a bit and let the static die down.
I used to own a ROLAND Rd170 VERY good features. Things it had that the NORD HP5 doesn't:
Ability to layer more than two sounds. Actually could have 16 at once, if I used a slave keyboard.
Ability to switch sounds and continue the prior sound. With the Nord as soon as I switch the first sound cuts out.
Custom Splits so that I could adjust at any point on the keyboard instead of standard middle C and a few others.
Way more sounds and very realistic organs and brass.
A rhythm beat generator with decent patterns.
And more.
What I do like about Nord:
Piano is decent. Nice Action. Light weight and the "LOOK FOLKS, I got a NORD" WOW factor. Kind of like a BMW... bring my wallet.
I have a 1 year old Nord HP5 for sale... contact me---negotiable price.
