I have been a fan of Nord Keyboards since buying my first Nord which was the Electro 3. That faithful keyboard is still with me and has been used on countless live performances. Since then I have purchased an Electro 6 and Stage 3 and these are the first place I start when analysing requirements for a particular gig. The incredible samples, ease of programming, build quality and in particular the ability to easily sample my other keyboards and plugins and take them on the road is a life changer. No longer having to lug a computer rack on flights to shows and then pray that the Macs don’t overheat in the afternoon festival sun is a gift. It’s a no-brainer!
