  1. I have had three of these and they are, once assembled, one of the most stable stands I have ever used. Maybe you got a defective unit? -dj
  2. There is also an interactive version from Pro Tools Expert, hope they keep it updated- https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/apple-macos-ventura-audio-compatibility-chart#home/?view_1_search=izotope&view_1_page=1 -dj
  3. I use song mode of my NS3 and trigger the list in order with a single button press which changes programs on both my boards. -dj
  4. They were both additive synths, but the W had more PCM samples available- -dj
  5. Best synth keybed ever, TP/8S with textured sharps. I used my K5000S for a controller for years- -dj
  6. I think this is the case, Nord keyboards have an architecture that is completely different from most other boards by Korg, Roland, Yamaha, etc. But, once you understand that architecture, they are a simple pleasure to operate. -dj
  7. The album Credits read: "David L. Sancious, Piano, Organ, (Organ solo on Kitty's Back), Electric Piano, Clavinet, Soprano Sax on the E Street Shuffle, Background Vocals, and String Arrangement on New York City Serenade." -dj
  8. I saw David perform this live on a beat-up old upright piano in Max's Kansas City. Probably 40 people there- -dj
  9. This is a good suggestion, I bought one of these to leave at practice. Got it for $149 at GC- -dj
  10. I think one of the things I contribute to the bands I play in is an ability to program all of the signature tones needed for the song. This is a welcome challenge for me, as the 80s stuff like Madonna, Journey and Michael Jackson, along with modern songs from Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and JT are keyboard heavy and require careful programming and assessment of the most important parts to play. -dj
  11. I always thought that a modular Stage would be great. Two panels, but instead of Piano, Organ Synth, they could have swappable boards so the user could define what what they wanted based on their need. I never, ever need more than one piano or organ, so the configuration you mention would be my choice, one piano, one organ, 4 synth. That is why I have the Stage 3 and the Wave 2. Of course, this would require major hardware changes. -dj
  12. I honestly don't think Nord will release another two manual organ- -dj
  13. Sweetwater offers 2 year warranty on Nord Stage 73- -dj
  14. This has been discussed at length on the Nord User Forum, here is one of the latest threads: https://www.norduserforum.com/general-nord-forum-f29/and-so-october-t22875.htmlhttps://www.norduserforum.com/general-nord-forum-f29/and-so-october-t22875.html It is their 40th anniversary as a company in 2023, so something is expected, but no one knows what it might be, just all speculation. -dj
  15. Any waveform with tons of resonance with a quick amp/filter decay, no sustain or release. I would concentrate more on the two sounds used at 2:36, as they are much more challenging- -dj
  16. I actually think 10" speakers sound better for mains than 12". I was in two bands at one time, and they both had QSC versions of each. The 12s have less dispersion and sound much more muddy than the 10s for vocals and instruments beside bass. -dj
  17. One of the reasons I purchased the KL-8 (besides the form factor) is that my Nord keyboards do not have a mono out. But the KL-8 has a mono switch on the Main and Monitor outs that sums the L+R stereo signal to mono and sends it out either output. If I just use L or R, I don't get the entire signal from my boards. -dj
  18. Westone has made ambient IEMs for a while, at least three different models. Their lowest priced model, AM10 is about the same price as the Airpod Pro 2. For stage use, I would choose the Westone personally. -dj
  19. Here are some pictures of mine. I did what ajstan did and drilled and extra hole to allow the second tier to go lower, and also cut off 3 inches from the top tier so that it did not protrude over the lower board. Added weatherstripping and velcro to the top tier, and jury-rigged a mic holder for a boom as well. Since I always play standing, I only had to adjust it once. I also do not use the crossbar and set mine up narrowly as well. Easily the best keyboard stand I have ever owned, total cost at Amazon was <$300 and worth every penny.
  20. This stand has been discussed a lot, a search for 18880 will give you all the threads: https://forums.musicplayer.com/search/?q=18880&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=28 -dj
  21. Hi, Ted- Those keys are used for preset selection. Page 12 of the user guide: https://hammondorganco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/XK-3.pdf -dj
  22. Wow, what a small world. My brother Larry went to West Milford high and also to WM Patterson. He wasn't a gigging musician, so you probably didn't cross paths. I believe Willowbrook mall was the first of its kind in the USA, and my parents took us to 2Guys all the time. Thanks for those brain tweaks! -dj
  23. I did exactly the same thing. Stand is solid, light, and I attached a mic boom as well- -dj
  24. And it weighs less than 10 pounds......
