The Nord Grand 2 has arrived!! I am so excited to announce the arrival of the beautiful Nord Grand 2 into my studio!

      @@jortepap Preferred Digital Piano Keybeds that I have played in order: 1) Kawaii SE11 2) Fatar TP40/Wood GH Wood ) - Doepfer PK 88. SL has a keyboard that used to use it. 3) Nord Grand / Kawaii - it's a lighter version of the SE11 keybed. 4) Nord Stage / Piano and others that use the Fatar non-GH keybed. 4.5) Korg higher end is almost the same as a stage but heavier. 5) Yamaha. I had an original Yamaha MOD 88 (early 2000) that had a nice keybed but it was a very heavy keyboard. One thing that is common with quality, is the weight. The heavier the keybed, the better it will be. That said I do not gig with my Nord Grand or Kawaii (75lbs) because they are too heavy to schlepp around town. I usually gig with a Nord Stage at 35lbs. If it's piano only, then I bring the PK88 which is 75lbs. that 40lb difference is the lead weights used in the keys. Yes, I am a keybed nerd. The p115 is an ok keybed but too slow for me. But at 35lbs, it's gig worthy for a piano. I like the yamaha piano sounds over korg.

    I thought the Astrolab was a really cool product at first but have seen a number of video for people using it for gigs and it's not as exciting to me any more. First I'm and old guy and eyes are what they used to be so as soon as I saw that tiny round screen I knew the Astrolabe would have to be great for me to consider it. I've been moving back more into recording lately and trying to keep things simple so Astrolab seems appealing with the Analog Lab Pro included, but all those synths and other sound you're only getting the presets for them and can only make basic changes the few knobs on the board has. To dig now you have to buy the sounds and use your computer to mod. That seems to be and issue with people actually trying to use the Astrolabe on gigs, only presets, little tweaking live, and have to purchase the individual sounds or the V Collection to really get full control. So to me the Astrolab is a nice first edition product, but going to need a few upgrade cycles to mature.
