Subject:New Clavia Instrument at the Musk Messe

Over at the NordElectro group we have been discussing the new Nord Stage
keyboard instrument for some days now. I can't believe that no one here
have discovered it yet..

Well maybe because it has more functions than just cloneweels. But so
has the Nord Electro or the Roland V combo.

Maybe the only drawback for me is that a can't afford it, and that it
has weighted keys. That makes it hard to play organ sounds with.

I think this is just the first version so maybe there will be more
appropriate versions for us organ grinders.

(I am hoping for a version with two 61 key waterfall keyboards and an
optional pedalboard.)
