Nord piano vs Electro 6D and a hammer action midi controller

Postby kaljo » 02 Apr 2021, 14:01

Hi everyone! I have a Nord Piano 3 that I bought when it was released in 2016. I am very happy with it but sometimes think about selling it and buy a Nord Electro with semi-weighted keys and a midi controller with weighted keys (or digital piano). Does anyone here have good or bad experiences with it? What extra keyboard do you use?

You have to make sure that the velocity curve of your controller keyboard matches approximately the velocity curve of the Nord - so that sound and feeling will give a unit:
a) use another Nord as controller keyboard;
b) find a controller keyboard with custom velocity curves to set;
c) connect both instruments via a velocity converter like the one from MIDI Solutions.

And get clear about pedals - if you need them on your Nord or the controller keyboard.
