grand pianos … I wanted to know what he felt about the“ touch” of the Kawai keybed that NORD has now added in this upgraded model.
An hour later we had run through scores of usable high-quality patches and he ended up loving the feel and responsiveness of the Kawai hammer-action keys themselves. I posted some short musical snippets taken on my iPhone that
Joshua was kind enough to let me record.
THE GOODS … Each successive generation building on the Electro lineage raises the performance bar. The Electro 7 has updated Piano, Organ, Synth, and Effects sections, physical drawbars and a rotary speaker emulator along with LEDs, and a new color display. Also a live mode, and push encoder that make program selection easy.
If you like to edit your own sounds NORD comes through again. Rich, analog style oscillators, resonant low-pass filter and digital effects are all at your fingertips. Not to mention the organ draw bars right onboard for you to manipulate live.
Where would I use the Electro 7? Everywhere! On the church platform for live worship music and in the studio for sound design and recording. And yes, that distinctive red keyboard looks great in my little home studio. Wow! This stage piano is everything you have come to expect from NORD and more.
The Electro 7 is available in three models with your choice of the 61 key($ 3,299) or 73 semiweighted waterfall keys($ 3,599) or the 73-note HP hammer-action Kawai keybed upgraded version that we reviewed here($ 3,999).
