Re: Wish List for Nord Keyboards

It's impossible to read through all the posts without substantial time, so I apologize in advance if one or both of these items have been addressed.

1) I'd like to see a choice available of putting reverb either before or after the organ rotary effect. This has been discussed ad nauseam and there's no consensus, so I won't offer my opinion here. Users having a choice of how to route things doesn't seem like a huge ask.
2) I'd like to see a choice of whether or not to put the monitor input only through headphones, only through outputs, or through both. It makes sense and would simplify setups for many of us. Again, not a huge ask.

I haven't seen this before:
Use piano models next to samples, such as the ones developed by Moddart:

50 Mo only required, no more Gigabytes needs.

My 50 cents

Some people will differ, but I don't think it's possible to get a realistic piano sound with modeling , which is what Modartt does.

Hello
I've been following Pianoteq from Moddart since day one. Their very first demo sounded sometimes a bit strange and not natural.
Since then, years have passed and models have been greatly improved. Please take a great headphone and listen to:
https://www.modartt.com/modeld (demos at the bottom)
(yes, with known youtube compression bias for sound quality, which applies for both Nord and Pianoteq Sound)

Having models "next to" samples should let the user choose with direct comparison, a bit like the synth section with samples / synth models in the Nord Stage.

(this subject may be followed in a separate thread)

Regards

I'd like to see the sample synth features of the Piano 5 trickle into the next Electro model. For my personal use, those capabilities go a long way. They most likely will, given Nord's practice of sharing features like that. The double-piano thing is cool too, but not critical.

I'm also curious if the next generation of HP keyboards will use the new Fatar TP-110 action over the TP-100. The TP-100 is a controversial topic, but it's never bothered me personally. It would be nice to see some improvements though.

I'm giving some thought to replacing my Stage 2EX HP sometime in the next year or so, possibly going back to an Electro HP for simplicity and a wee bit of weight savings.

I play the same song in different bands at different pitches. I need the ability to transpose into the song-section too. So far this has only been possible with the programs-section. However, if I have to store the same sound at different pitches, it costs too much memory. Thanks.

And where would the pitch be stored instead?

always in the program-section, not in the song section.

The song section only references stored programs as they are, unfortunately.

One workaround: if you only have one standard Transposition for a program, set that, switch transpose OFF and store the program. The value will be stored, and a single button will activate it.

Memory - memory - memory! USB for external SSDs!!

I am fed up with the situation having to delete instruments in order to install a sample on my NS3.
First: it takes hours to decide which instrument might be obsolete.
Second: once an instrument is about to be deleted you learn what programs will be missing this instrument once it is deleted. So you don't delete it.......
Third: procedure repeated...

That's Kindergarten in times of cheap memory!

Or has anybody out there any solution in between?
Please do not tell me I won't need al the instruments anyway!

Cheers
Tilman
