Korg 61 Krome vs Nord 4D?

[Golden Schu]

I'm looking for advice on these two keyboards?

I need great organ sounds and good piano sounds. Horns would be nice too?

I know their is a $600 price difference, but is the Nord 4D that much better?

Thanks

Based on your requirements above, the short answer is "yes" (and I own a Krome 61, which I love).

If you want "great organ sounds", the Nord is significantly better than the Krome. The Korg has pretty good piano sounds, but again the Nord's are better, and 4D has a semi-weighted action which is quite a bit nicer than the Krome's, particularly for piano playing. Now of course all this is subjective, but I suspect many people would agree with me. I've fiddled around with Nord Electros quite a bit with a view to either buying the 4D or HP one day.

In the Krome's favour, it does have a massive range of quality sounds and very deep editing potential, also an on-board sequencer.

Hope that helps.
