Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons) Question
Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons) Question
I've been watching some Mumford and Sons concert footage - and I'm interested in what the keyboardist Ben Lovett is doing and how he gets his sound. It looks a though the his Nord Stage Piano doesn't have any audio outputs (photo attached) . He's never really that high in the mix, and they do have an auxiliary keyboard player live. Does anyone know if he's changing his own sounds? (it looks as if he is) - does anyone know what his black Nord is slaving?

Re: Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons) Question
Seems as no one has some inside-knowledge about that. Maybe someone in the synth pro network knows something about this. There are some professionals who might know someone or worked with that guy themselves. Unless you do not get any insider infos, or the guy has told something in any interview what he is doing, we never know. Anything is possible, including he is just faking.
I ask myself: Why not using the audioengine when it´s already on stage? When just as masterkeyboard - why not using a - supposedly lighter - master keyboard with a selected keybed for controlling external stuff?

Re: Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons) Question
EDIT: ok did some more digging. Looks like the later shows he is using the Stage as a Piano keyboard only (only the sustain pedal is plugged in).
Given that information I'd guess he's using something like MainStage and Keyscape.
