mikecorbett Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My guess is that they are going to discontinue the Electro, leaving Piano, Clav and Rhodes etc for the Nord Piano. They are going to release an Organ only Organ... But I dont see how the drum thing fits in? We are all slave's to our brain chemistry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderSchoot Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The drumsticks picture with "soon the world will be..."on the nord website - has changed to a picture of real drawbars. Hmmmm. Imteresting Yeah it is their fifth generation clonewheel with two sets of real drawbars, re-newed leakage, drawbarr crosstalk, cho/vib and more. It uses the new Fatar waterfall nine sensor keybed (TP90),to recreate accurate keyclick. Nord has a joint venture with Neo Instruments and therefor the Ventilator is intergrated. It is called the Nord Bentilator Don't think so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The numbering is bass ackwards. Why oh why can't you do the standard thing Nord?

Joe Muscara Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The numbering is bass ackwards. Why oh why can't you do the standard thing Nord? I'm sure that's because these are something like drawfaders. Thus, the number at the fader is the position you are at. The only moving part is probably the knob.

MusicaL Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That's what it looks like to me too. Looks like the numbers are printed on the unit (whatever it is). The numbering is bass ackwards.

mate stubb Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, well HS managed to do numbering correctly on their SK drawfaders. This will not please traditionalists - your eye is trained to look for the numbers where they disappear at the back of the drawbar, not to have to look around the knob for them. Sheesh.

I get what you're saying. The H/S solution has more moving parts, while the Nord version looks to move just the one. But one could argue Nord has never made traditionalists completely happy before.

Sven Golly Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 But I dont see how the drum thing fits in? Clavia used to manufacture ddrum electronic drums (1983-2005). They may be going back to their roots for a drum-specific device... or they may just like f*#king with the hordes of Internet forum sheep who can't help but speculate on why their current gear is suddenly absolute shite because something that hasn't been officially announced or confirmed, and that won't be available until May is so much better than their current gear.

mate stubb Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Well but the point of doing drawbars anyway was to please the traditionalists, no? So why do it backwards?

Sven Golly Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This will not please traditionalists What true traditionalist was going to buy a Nord anyway? me for one. Given that you've already got a Nord C1 in your arsenal, you're not exactly strictly traditional, are you? You've already settled for drawbuttons, so anything that seems to be a step towards a physical slider would probably be appealing. I'll also point out that you've stated "I cannot wait!!!" (yes, with 3 exclamation points because we couldn't glean any excitement from the use of just one) merely based on a single close-up shot of a product you know absolutely nothing else about. I'll enjoy sitting back and watching the bashing that will no doubt occur when it shows up and it doesn't meet everyone's very specific expectations. Ahhhh, the goodness of NAMM hysteria. Can't wait.

They are going to release an Organ only Organ... But I dont see how the drum thing fits in? They already have the C2, so the "organ only" thing has been done. This is probably just the next generation of that model (C3 maybe?). I'd be very surprised if they discontinued the Electro line. Shocked, actually.

I know, it would be shocking if they got rid of the electro seeing as its become such a standard swiss army knife. So what then, an Electro with real drawbars? or sliders should I say?

zahush76 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Already posted in the official NAMM 2012 thread. I looked around for a dedicated thread about this subject and didn't find any. It is possible to miss a "mini discussion" about this on a general thread, such as the "official NAMM 2012" thread. Nevertheless - i'm deeply sorry and i appologize if i hurt your feelings in any way. As always, i'm sorry i wasted your precious time by starting this unnecsary thread, and occupying precious virtual space on this forum. In times like these, one should always be extremely careful and tripple check everything before he starts a new thread. Charming.

Josh Paxton Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This is probably just the next generation of that model (C3 maybe?). I very much doubt that they would call their next model the C3, as I think that could lead to unpleasant legal situations with H/S. Then again, H/S themselves brazenly appropriated the name of Casio's venerable SK-1, albeit with slightly altered capitalization and hyphenation (Sk1). Hmm, maybe Nord should call their next model the c-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well, I'm on the record as expecting the C-series organ line to be replaced eventually by a complete Electro 4 range, including a double manual version, but this would seem to throw that theory off course. The Electro 3 HP is just too recent for them to start making a whole new version of that with drawbars/sliders and I can't imagine they'd want the Electro range so out of kilter on features within that brand. So contrary to my own expectations, I'm now betting that this is a new C organ organ, perhaps featuring the ability to load other sounds - a double manual Electro in all but name, maybe. What's with the beige btw? I sincerely hope this isn't Nord's idea for a new "corporate colour"!

AnotherScott Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What's with the beige btw? I sincerely hope this isn't Nord's idea for a new "corporate colour"! They already use the beige as part of the color scheme for the Stage 2. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!
