Electro 6 or Stage 3 Compact for Live?

Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

It’s certainly been claimed before. :)

The fact that you are looking for your second board to also cover synth and horn sounds makes me think the Stage 3 is a better fit. The Electro lacks a pitch bend control, and the Stage has significantly better split capability.

....more like a gt3rs 8-)
More like people who appreciate a fine user experience. If you don't, OK fine, but don't diss on those who do.

I, for one, crave good experiences. Acoustic pianos, killer cars, and -- yes -- on stage gear.

It's my thing.
