Although I've heard that the Electro's acoustic pianos are among its few weak points, I suspect that your amplification system may be the culprit, as few people seem to have anything but praise for the Nord Electro's organ sounds.

Subject: [CWSG] Electro pianos

I used my electro last night on a gig and I'm worried that the all-in-one piece is not the Electro.
The pianos are horrid. After much tweaking I can't seem to get anything remotely usable out of it and I'm dumbing down my standards. I've got a Casio that has better piano sounds.
Are the piano downloads from the Nord site any better?
Is there some secret to getting a decent acoustic piano sound out of this piece.
The organ sounds are lost in the middle of the keyboard. Also, a serious problem.
They're fine in the upper register but they just disappear as I get lower on the board.
I'm using a SRM 450 for a speaker.
I had high hopes for the Electro but so far it's been a piece of gear that I personally don't find usable.
For my money it is a good piece of gear for someone who isn't real serious about the kind of sound it produces and primarily wants a Hammond sound.
I guess I'm looking for some advice on some tweaks I'm missing.
For 1200.00 it's got to be better than this.
A very unhappy Nord customer.
