Hey folks,
I'm not much of a high-tech guy when it comes to keyboards. I play a Nord Electro 61. For years I played a Kurzweil SP88 through the Nord so I would have 88 weighted keys to play as well as the "hammer action" keys on the Nord.
I sold the Kurzweil because I really need something that can make good sounds on its own since the Nord won't split, and the Kurz sounds weren't cutting it. Problem is, I haven't found much to compare with the Nord's sounds. One of the most common splits I need is a clav and a Hammond. Every clav I play, except the Nord, sounds like a cheap toy.
My budget tops out at about a grand. I'm thinking now want to use a MIDI controller with 88 weighted keys that can hold samples taken from the Nord. Not being a MIDI guy, I'm not sure whether this is possible. Also, what's the best straight-up controller with 88 weighteds?
