    Jack, that’s beautiful! You can’t make me fall in love with another synth like that. I can’t/shouldn’t right now. Sigh. Lol. I haven’t bought a Nord yet, and I always thought I’d get the Stage first. This has me rethinking that though. Seriously though, awesome demo and beautiful playing man.

    Very impressive piece of kit. The 4 layers really set it apart from most. Plus they have the mod and pitch wheels to the left of the keyboard where they should be, not above it. My only real sticking point is the sticking point of all Nords, the price. I wonder what they cost in Sweden?

    Nord really missed the mark in not having seamless transitions on this. I wanted to love it, but just not feasible for live play to be locked into one patch. Also wish they’d improve their sample loading. PITA to always connect to a computer to load samples. If it supported a USB drive or SD card, that would be killer.

    Performance 1 and 2 could've well been part of one track, the second can be the part where you expect something exciting to happen next! By the way, all performances where played excellently and sounded fantastic! Happy Easter and stay well!

  • @EverettDudgeon138
    @EverettDudgeon138 4 роки тому +6

    The only thing putting me off is the keybed. While I’ll still stick with my Prophet X and XL I was always hoping Nord would come out with a Nord Wave 2 and I’m glad they did but it feels like it’s an instrument that doesn’t know what it wants to be. Like a stage piano trying to be a synth but not having a ton of modulation capabilities or perhaps a synth trying to cater to stage piano players rather than synthesists.

    • @geirnordheim6986
      @geirnordheim6986 4 роки тому +5

      EverettDudgeon138 I sold my Prophet X and I have bought the Wave 2. I think they are both great synths. the px has bigger emphasis on samples and the wave 2 on VA, FM and samples in layers. It comes down to taste. Sadly I did not gel with either the synth engine in the px nor the sample software. I have not received my nord yet, so I can just hope...but it looks and sounds like a promising synth to my eyes and ears. The layering interface looks next level :-) ...and synth mania and true coockoo actually gave the keybed two thumbs up and a reason for players to buy it :) (I must add that I appreciated your tutorials on sound design on the px, Everett!)

      @@FakeGlasses if you`re gigging I definately would go for the wave 2. If you`re mainly working in the studio I would maybe go for your other options. I currently have the stage 3 88 and the sequential prophet 6 myself wich i use live all the time. But a annoying problem with analog synthesizers is the way they cut off the sound when changing program. With the Wave 2 you could easily bring all your analog synthezisers to the stage in an much smaller footprint (by easily sampling them into the wave 2). The wave 2 is now definately on my to-buy-list. And don`t let «virtual-analog» affect your choice, the wave 2 sounds absolutely fantastic. -all the best
