Nord was definitely present. I was in their booth today and I played
the NE3. The organ didn't sound all that different from the NE2 -
still a little screechy in the top octave, and the pianos aren't much
improved either. It certainly didn't seem like enough of an upgrade to
dump my NE2 and case to get an NE3 and a new case for that. (The NE3
has a different aspect ratio from the NE2).

Muse was showing a couple Receptor 2s, but there wasn't one set up on
a keyboard so you could just play with it unfettered. And I stopped by
NI to complain/inquire about the show-stopper multiple-instances-of-
AkoustikPiano-in-a-single-Receptor-snapshot bug I discovered a while
back, but their little booth was pretty swamped.
