Nord User Forum

Hey Everybody!

pretty new to this Forum and pretty new nord user. girlfriend bought one for the band we Play in an now its Standing in my small Studio. however, i am not a Keyboarder I am a Drummer and guitargeek with heavy GAS so i recently aquired one of those new 68 custom princeton reverbs.....

so what should one do if one has a fender amp and a nord? im not really good at playing keys…but I love the sound of e-pianos plus fender amps


hope this works with the link, didn’t knew if I can post a video and im not shure if everone

nord plugged dircetly into princeton, no effects at all from le nord




enjoy

I'm also a guitar player, but am learning keys. The general rule is to avoid using a guitar amp with a keyboard. It's the same idea as playing a bass through a guitar amp - you run the risk of damaging the speaker, especially if you crank up the volume too loud. I run my Kronos directly into my mixing desk and play it through my studio monitors. You could also look at getting a keyboard amp, if you don't have access to a PA.

Well im aware of not playing to loud, but why Is there a fender twin emulation on board? because it sounds great! I think e pianos sound best played thru fender tube amps…. normally my…or should I say our or my girlfriends nord is hooked up to my motu 828 but I if im going to record an e piano I would always go for a fender...with reverb and tremolo! Always!

I wouldn’t do this for general amplification, its just to get that sweet sweet e piano sounds, organs and pianos wont sound any good plus I wouldn’t turn the nords volume louder the a quarter!

I once recorded my moog prodigy thru my orange rocker 30..woooo!!!!!! also drumcomputers, vocals, harp etc....guitar amps arent that easy to kill!
