Nord User Forum

Hi, I'm wondering if it is worth buying a Nord Electro 6 and a 88 key hammer action midi controller to use together.Can someone help me?

Do you mean an 88 key controller?
It depends on what you want to achieve... care to enlighten us?

Sorry, I meant a midi controller like a keyboard that controls the Nord, I would go for that option cause I would like the Nord sounds but on a budget and I don't want only 61 keys.

Probably this midi controller:

Hi T1picaL

and a very warm welcome to this wonderful forum of nord enthusiasts. As far as your question is concerned, two ways:

- if you are looking for piano like keys then adding a weighted masterboard such as the Kawai VPC or the Studiologic Grand are worth a try

- if you intend to get more realtime tweaking options then many brands offer good products, even with 88 keys, only the „piano feel“ might differ from item to item.

For me having an electro 5D for excellent organ performance along with good piano sounds I‘m also looking for an 88 keys weighted board in addition.

Good luck, keep us updated, cheers from Germany

I also have an Electro D5 73 combined with a Studiologic 88-key hammer action. Playing piano sounds on the organ keybed is really not satisfying. I think it makes a big difference.
