Soulrock Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm a guitar player who is just starting to play keys. I'm planing on buying an Electro 2 and need some advice. I'm buying the Electro mainly for the clonewheel sounds and I'm not sure if I should spend the extra money for the 73 key version. I have a midi controller to hook up as a second manual. I'm probably also going to get either a pc1xse or s90(maybe something else) for piano and EP's, so I'm not really worried the extra keys for that. Do I really need the extra keys? In the end I'd rather spend the money than be unhappy a year later. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You will do just fine with 61 keys, particularly for organ sounds. I have owned the 73 and the 61. My other board is an S90. I prefer the 61 for a true Hammond experience (muscle memory) and I also appreciate the small form factor. If you need notes beyond the 61 note range, there is an octave shift feature that works very well. Regards, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannis D Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 +1 the 73 version is only for busy rhodes playin' and piano. But since you play the guitar 5 octaves will not be a problem for you. Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
