Do we really not need a NS4 (is NE6D enough)?

Post by timmmy000 »

Hi folks,
I stumbled over this video:

The guy has got some points that I can confirm, BUT
(as said in the YT-comments)
- the sensitivity of the keys and the reproduction of the sounds is not the same as on the NS4...
- the layout of the FX-Section for the organ is much more intuitive on the NS4
- the weight is not an issue, I'm using a NS4 compact so having a few more keys and only a few lbs more...

I've made this deicison in the past (got a NS4 - sold it for a MODX8+ plus a NE6D) and I can also confirm - if you really use all funtionalities of the NS$ you'll be glad to have:
- the ability to layer organs, pianos and three synths
- multiple splits
- AFTERTOUCH
- pitch stick and mod wheel
- morphing feature
- dedicated effects for every layer

You can alter the list with many points, but I think it´s nice to have also this opinion her...

Best regards
Tim

I saw that video and the conclusion is basically "it depends on your needs" (what a surprise...)

PS: the guy who made the video says he has a NS4, btw...
