kenheeter Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hello all, I foolishly sold my Ocean Beach Drawbars and then I recently purchased a Nord Stage 3 76. So, I'm on the lookout to purchase a set of these. If anyone has a set sitting in a drawer, please PM me and hopefully we'll make a deal. Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I'll think about this. I bought it all those years ago, and never ended up using it outside of a bit of home experimentation... but I still have this fear that I'll sell it and then, like you, come to wish I had it again! I have a whole drawer of those "just in case" items. Some day they will either be worth a fortune, or they will be worth absolutely nothing. 😉 Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Dave Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Wish i had a set so that I could trade it to you for your speakeasy pre-amp.

Garubi Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You could buy a D9U or a D9X (kit or preassembled) from G.M.

kenheeter Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Scott, I'd love to buy yours if I can talk you out of them. And Dave I would trade the Speakeasy preamp in a heartbeat. I have a D9X and it's great but I need 5piin DIN for the Nord and MIDI power. Thanks for the responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj2017 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 For the Crumar you can use a 5 pin 1/8 inch adapter for the 5 pin and then a USB power adapter for power. I did this with my MODX7 and B-3X and it worked great. Only issue is that the micro USB port isn’t very sturdy.

kenheeter Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 I' ve just been reading that the Nord Stage 3 isn't very compatible with the Ocean Beach drawbars so maybe I'll just get used to the draw buttons again. Sigh...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffKeys Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have a Nord Stage 3 and Ocean Beach drawbars and I'll tell ya that they are ultimately compatible! I can't imagine having to relay on the drawbuttons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenheeter Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 OK, this is great news! I'll resume my search. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteinwayB Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Ocean beach drawbars works great with my Nord C1. Just use it for upper manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWW Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I have the original ocean Beach drawbars, and a Nord stage three. I would love to connect them, but I cannot figure out the settings for the DIN switches in the OB drawbars. Anyone know what I can do?
