Hi Peeps,
I have a Nord Electro 3 and a Studiologic Sledge 2 synth.
I play in a blues/rock band and do 90% of my playing on the Nord, which has superb organ sounds and reasonable piano sounds.
The synth is OK - must say I was seduced by all the controls on it - but rather limited for when I need a brass sound or strings or something. It seems to have 990 spaceship sounds which is great if you're into electronic music, but not many usable sounds.
I am thinking of replacing the Sledge with a Roland keyboard - maybe V-combo or something, but then I thought about replacing both keyboards with a more versatile keyboard which has decent organ emulator, decent piano sounds AND a selection of strings, brass, clav, wurly, pads and more, where crucially I can SPLIT the keyboard.
Yes, I'd love a Nord Stage, but that is beyond me financially. I was thinking about a workstation or rather an adaptable keyboard with the functionality I need. Pref 5 or 6 octaves, with pedal options for sustain and Leslie effects on the organs, as per the Nord Electro.
Ideally, I'd trade both keyboards for one that does everything. What do you think might fit the bill? Something from an established brand like Roland, Yamaha, Korg or similar.
