Subject:Nord Electro 4D Further Thoughts an Considerations

Well this is not an easy message to send ....But I feel I have to share ...
I mean sharing is what it is all about right ...

Anybody want to buy a Brand New   just out of the box ...Nord Electro 4D ????
only tinkered with an played sparingly for 4 days ...

Pros of NE4D  compared to NE3

Lighter weight ...   15.3 lbs  vs   18.2 lbs   (3lb diff not really a problem)                *
NE4D    has drawbars onboard ... slider drawbars ...I like the new drawbars ...        *
Program section navigation is improved  
New system, midi, B3,  buttons for easier access to system edits ..
Larger memory allocated for Piano and samples ...  THIS IS A REAL PLUS IMHO!!!!!  *
Effects section   I really found no significant changes ...
Simulated rotary  leslie emulation ...no significant changes ..IMHO

I  prefer my   NORD ELECTRO 3 !!!!!!!!!!!

WHY do i prefer my NE3 over the newer NE4D?

prob mostly cause I  am used to it ..

I prefer the longer  73 keyboard on the   NE3.   ON the NE4D it    seems i was constantly playing tooo loud left hand
an my bass player would be irate ,..and i cannot play one handed ...

On the NE4D   I really could not find the sounds ...of the Organ and EPianos that I love an prefer ...
I looked for 4 days ...I think they are processed differently on the NE4D. I even moved in
some sound versions from my NE3  and it made no diff
The Wurlitzer  200 did not sound the same to me ...that pissed me off ..

I have no explanation for the EP's being and sounding diff to me ..but they did ...

The organ engine was taken  from the Nord C2...  that would explain the organ sounding different.

------------------
I will probably be selling my new NORD ELECTRO 4D..
good thing i dont have a wife ...how would that go over ...selling it after 4 days with a
possibility of losing money ..

Now a question to all ....is

How USED is my new 4 day out of box ...never been gigged with ...Nord Electro 4D ?

Obviously and most likely I cannot get full price for this instrument ...
How much should i lose ...and or deduct from the price of the New 4D when and if
I sell it ...

thanks for listening  and yes ...i am sure i will be the butt of some jokes ..about my ha ha ha s when i bought it ..I can take a joke .. and I hate losing money as much as anyone ..
but thats the chance I took ...

thanks ...  ok I am ready ....to be lambasted ...

Mike
