    I have both the electro 6 and the Kronos 88 ..I love the piano on the Nord way more than the Kronos ..but like the Kronos for everything else Kronos it’s way more powerful in my opinion

      Aside from the Grand/Acoustic Piano, I don't think there is a category that the Nord beats the Kronos in. I have even heard some guys here on YT that tweaked and matched up the Kronos CX-3 Organ to a real Hammond and it was pretty good/close. The one main thing about the Kronos that is the downside is that it is very deep and requires some menu diving and that 1000+ pages of Manual/parameter guide.

    the queston I would ask is, how much you can tweek the sounds to your liking on both keyboard? I´ve have the kronos 2 for 4 years now and believe me, once you beging to modify all the parameters on the kronos piano, you can make them sound the way you want. plase try to play a little with the lid position, velocity bias, release, damper resonance etc, and start adding some effects (you have 12 effects to chose from). Nord sounds really well, but I doubt it can offer all the posibilities the kronos offers.

  • @Bashanvibe

    I will have both still for the same reasons!!! It’s something about hearing the room on the Nord that gets me every time!!! Even on recordings I know when it’s a Nord I know when it’s a Montage I even know when it’s a Roland!!! Roland is my first love!!!

    There's something odd about the high end of the Nord Rhodes sounds where they just don't cut it. I'm totally with you on the Kronos rhodes. I think it's to do with the sample sizes where the Nord is given a Toby amount of space, whereas the Kronos has far more sample space with no loops.
    Re the pianos, which i find are short and less sustained on the Nord, hence the reason for the sounds cutting through when adding to a production. All again related to the small sample amounts.
    Great AB, and thank you as I'm looking at getting a Kronos!

  • @GEMACOUSTICS
    @GEMACOUSTICS 7 місяців тому +2

    I agree with your reviews, the nord for piano for me and but I have to admit that Kronos piano is exceptional, I really like it, but the Rhodes on the korg, are lifelike

  • @malcolmgregoire1019

    I only have the Kronos, so my view is quite biased, but the Kronos gives you more control over the tonal quality of any of the pianos available. Be it the Italian Grand or the German Grans and even the Rhodes, you get so much control to tune the piano to just the way you like it. Don't stick with the stock patches and do some mild tuning to get your perfect sound.

    Good video, I have the Kronos 2, but don't know if it makes sense to let it go for the Nord. The full package of the Kronos2 is a lot to let go of just because of the Acoustic Piano.

    I don’t have a Nord but the piano sounds like the feeling you get when you sit at a wooden piano. I feel it in the mid range. I get that same feeling from some of my IK Multimedia sounds or some of the other vsts I have. My guess is that Nord just put more detail into their piano sampling. I don’t own a Rhodes but you should check out the jazz time Rhodes in Arturia’s Analog lab. I have the lite version I believe and get that same hefty vibe you get when playing the Nord piano. It just makes you want to play. I’ve played the Yamaha p515 at a music store and the first piano was very good in how it felt playing with the keybed.

    To me Nord all day on the pianos. Rhodes are nice in the Kronos but to me it sounds like the Rhodes in the Kronos are Eq with more bass frequencies which you can achieve with the Nord as well. I am with you on the fact that since I got my Nord I don’t use VSTs for piano recordings anymore. Everything seats well in the mix when you record a Nord. The question I have for you is this…..do you justify buying a Kronos which the cost is about 3k just for some Rhodes sounds? Or Even strings, etc. That’s the million dollar question. However, I do like you bringing up this keyboard comparison. Big fan of your content and channel. I have learned tons already!! 👊🏾👍🏾💯

      @@GEMACOUSTICS So they’re somewhere in the middle (when compared to Nord, Yamaha, Akai, and Roland) . They sound good in the mix of a track (especially the distortion/woodiness to my memory) but I wouldn’t play them by itself
      Nords the best but still not at “walking Hammond” level, in other words it isn’t so close you can’t tell the difference between it and a real thing…yet. I think by the time the Stage 5 or 6 comes out they’ll be in that realm though lol
