Subject:Re: A module that delivers a hammond sound as good as the one in the Nord Stage?

If you're only using the Stage for organ, why not sell it, buy an Electro 3 (which has a waterfall keybed, plus arguably better piano sounds than the original Stage) and use the PC3 for a lower manual?

Hey everybody,

I have an 1963 A100 which i love and record with(along with 147 Leslie)...

But of course, I'm not hauling that to gigs.

Got a Nord Stage Revision B and been using it out....for the hammond only. Fine.

Issue: Piano sample in the Nord is lame. Unusable. Ergo, trigger a Kurzweil
module. But the Nord action is heavy and after pounding out 3 sets of rock n'
roll, triggering the kurzweil, my arm actually aches.

On the other hand, my trusty kurzweil pc 88 lives on....i use it on jazz gigs
and it's my favorite controller of ALL time. Lovely, perfectly balanced action,
at least for me.
