Just a thought: what would prog rock be like today if NORD keyboards had existed back in the 70s?

I actually know some modern prog guys use the Nord Stage, specially because it emulates those classic instruments

Stand: K&M Spider Pro and Hercules X Stands
Recording: Zoom UAC-8

@ Gustavo - I know I'm one of those guys (though I'm on an electro).

What I meant was what would those keyboard heroes of the 70s have created if they had Nord keyboards instead of complicated synths and unreliable/limited mellotrons.
