Nords work very well for live gigs: intuitive workflow, no menu diving, etc. --- and they sit very well in a live mix.
One classic rock tune that's devilishly hard for most keyboards is Superstition -- you have to nail that phat clav sound as well as a convincing horn section. Not hard at all on the NS4.
Tech deetz: NS4C with NP5 as controller, no external FX, straight into a A+H SQ with minimal processing, mixed lightly on Logic Pro -- the goal was to capture what we sound like live, and this is a good representation.

Re: NS4 example -- Superstition
Sounds good, but I wish the keys were a bit more up front in the mix, especially for this particular song. The guitar needs to come down a bit in order to let the groove of the keys stand out more.
