How do you like the HP keyboard on the NS2 EX?

Post by ericL »

Hi there, I have not seen many people commenting about the NS2 EX 76HP keyboard. I have played the NE5 HP extensively and know how this keyboard feels, but I'm wondering about the difference it would have on the NS2 EX, which would include aftertouch not available on the Electro series.

Can anyone using the NS2 EX HP comment about how the keyboard action feels to you and how it is holding up? For reference, I also have the NS2 88 HA and absolutely love that action and it has been bulletproof for me. I'm interested in the lighter weight of the NS2 EX 76 HP as a different option. Thanks!
Nords: NE2, NS2 88, NS3 Compact x 2
Live rig: NS3, Vent, Radial KL-8, Shure PSM-900 IEM Rig, UE18 & UE7 IEMs.
Studio: Hammond A-101 & Leslie 122, Yamaha CP-80, Yamaha S90, NS2, DSI Prophet-6, Vent II, Roland JX-8P.

I guess not many people are using this, given its newness on the market. I'll try a bump of this post to see if anyone may respond. If not, NAMM is just two weeks away and I can try it myself! Thanks.

This is a very personal taste.
If you want to buy a NORD with HP, you must try it yourself first!
For me, the HP doesn't works! I really don't like it (and i bought a Stage 2 HA88 instead of a new Stage 2 EX 76HP).

Try it first! If you like it, go on!

Hey Pablo, will do! We've chatted at NAMM at least the past 3 years, maybe longer.
