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

Just a detail, looking at the position of the display in the photo with respect to the keys (around the beginning of the octave, if i remember well), and comparing it to the position of the display on current
products, i would says that unless the layout philosophy changed a lot, it is an 88 keys board.
MODX7, Nord Wave 2, Hammond Pro 44H, too many plugins.

I played it back frame by frame and it looks like the 'drawbars' are the same kind of (rotary) knob as the one under the display... there's still a few more days to argue over this, so feel free! :D
And now for something completely different...

I was only making harmless mischief! ;-) Those are drawbars sure enough.
Here's a thought: If a patch/program has a particular drawbar in a different position, what happens when you move it? Jumps to the new value, or waits til you move thru the old value before changing?
Hopefully they kept the LEDs as a visual indicator at least. Motorised drawbars would be spooky (and expensive)...

I expect they'll do the same as the electro line. The waterfall keyed version will have drawbars and the two weighted boards will have "draw buttons". I also expect the drawbars will behave the same as the electro 4D- that is when moved, to snap to the new value.

I am, however, totally open to some new and better way of doing this. Motorized is quite possible at this price point-so long as they find a way to make it feel like a drawbar rather than a digital mixer.
