Great, lightweight stuff! Whatever the gig, you can handle it with the old Electro. The new one sounds even better. I wouldn't have any use for the additional organ sounds from the C-3, though. Russ

The OS update also contains several bugfixes and is recommended for all Nord Stage 2 units." Edited by Dnj (04/27/11 10:27 AM)

The organ and rotary are killer, and the Rhodes and Wurlies are top notch. My only gripe, is that the 73 note model only goes to a low "F" instead of the low"E" (bottom note on bass guitar), so left hand bass is not as convenient as I'd like it. I notice he was using a Roland pedal (the one with the heel flap) for rotary speed...I use one too, one of Roland's coolest ideas for sure. Nord make great stuff. Thanks Donny.

Ian I agree ...but give me a Leslie Switch next to my keys any day vs a pedal....the hand is faster then the foot always! Sustain is another ball of wax. Edited by Dnj (04/27/11 10:41 AM)

For once, I agree (with Donny ). I used a Roland DP-2 velcroed to the side of my Beheringer Expression pedal for leslie control when I played without pedals and the left side switch on the PK7a when playing with pedals. I never really got used to either (or the built-in leslie switch) and finally broke down and bought the optional half-moon switch. Now I'm finally happy. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]
