    Hey Jack! I like your Videos a lot! I have an old Yamaha CS2x Synth and I plan to get another one: nordwave 2 or virus ti 2 are the ones I’m thinking of and I would like to have a comparison soooo much 😉! This is what’s important to me: a good (analoge) sound, mainly for House and Deep House, but Ambient and other stuff as well. A good keyboard (virus = best?). I would like to use it mainly as the master keyboard in my little home studio with Logic Pro... but maybe someday on a stage as well. Could you do a video with the main differences and pros and cons of these to? And what about the nordlead 4? And... no that’s it 😬😉

    After having a Access Virus TI2 I Don’t feel like to buy a any synth because it’s a complete package with thousands of mind blowing patches but this wave2 has capability to play samples and they have very good sample bank much better than a some expensive workstations. I really like this keyboard but I am more of a piano guy and I haven’t heard any acoustic piano patches demo. Dose it have a good piano sound like a Nord-Grand? If yes then I’ll go ahead with this keyboard. Fantastic demo..Love it! ❤️

  • @OctaveRange
    @OctaveRange 4 роки тому +2

    These vids are great and really help to get a feel for how a synth sounds. The only constructive criticism I've got is suggesting you pick the sounds at random rather than the first 10, 25 etc. (The Manufacturers might just catch on and put their 'best' ones first?). You may have just sold another Nord Wave 2 with this demo, it's a very good contender against Roland's Jupiter X. Keep up the good work Jack and crew... :-)

    I have an Electro 3 which I think is awesome - but the Wave 2 doesn't sound much different than my Korg Triton TR, which is 15 or so years old!
    Really, we are getting to the stage where even budget synths sound amazing - it's just the finer details like build quality that make a difference to the price.

    • @borispradel1037
      @borispradel1037 2 роки тому

      I have it… and I agree with you. There’s something I don’t get from this synth… that I actually feel when I play my NL2X… liveliness.
      Although if you program the 4 analogue engines it can sound so good and full of life. It’s just that the sample and FM engines that are not much different from an Electro 6. If you have a relatively modern Electro I would go with the Lead 4 or A1.

      @derekbaker3279 4 роки тому

      Keep in mind that the Nord compression scheme, which they claim is lossless, reduces file sizes by a factor of 3. So, you actually have 3x more sample time available. ☺ Nevertheless, I agree that it is disappointing that Nord didn't install more than 2gigs of memory in The Wave 2. 😕

      Andertons Synths, Keys and Tech oh cool, thanks. I get confused with all their different models, I wasn't sure if this one was just a synth or included all the other sounds too. I really want to buy a Nord but have no clue which model to buy :/

    • @derekbaker3279
      @derekbaker3279 4 роки тому +2

      @@officialWWM If you don't mind, I will chip in here. Off the top of my head, I'd say that f you play a lot of piano-based music, organ-based music, 1960s/70s pop/rock, classical music, and/or traditional jazz, then IMHO the Stage 3 does those sounds better than the Wave 2. If you tend to play music without acoustic piano, electric piano, old school organs and/or blues (esp. Hammond B3/Vox/Farfisa organs) then I'd say you may want to think about for the Wave 2. However, the Stage 3 can be set up as your master keyboard (including sending & receiving midi, etc), which enables you to control, tweak & play external synths that have midi & switch between those symths, then I'm not if sure the Wave 2 can do that to the same degree as the Stage 3. However, if traditional acoustic pianos, e-pianos, & organs are not a priority, and you tend to play 80 alt/pop/rock, or you mainly play 1980s to 2010s dance or ambient music, then the Wave 2 may be the better choice. ☺

      I think it's because often times the keyboard player in a band is positioned at right angles to the front edge of the stage. Branding the side of the keyboard allows the audience to get a clear look at the manufacturer's name.
