I'm currently playing Nord's sounds using MP10's keyboard so I'm pretty happy with that combination although I don't like having both pianos out in the room because it just looks a mess. How about setting them up like this? ![[Linked Image]](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35226929/Red%2BBlack.png) Happy New Year everyone! Cheers, James x

Yes I've been looking at getting an upper tier for my Roland stand. I'll see what NAMM brings first though... Happy New Year James and all the other Nord fanciers!

The Dave Ferris demo seems to have disappeared, before I've had a chance to listen.

James - been studying that picture. Is that Photoshop at work? What is the lower keyboard there? Is the red felt photoshop'd just to match the Nord? The bevelled edge above the keys shows it is a Kawai (MP10 or similar) but the MP10 has blue felt...so is this a NEW Kawai piano/keyboard of some sort or am I getting all excited about a Photoshop creation?
Come on, put me out of the misery of my barely contained curiosity...

EssBrace, no Photoshop-ing. This K-2 on the other hand... ![[Linked Image]](http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6064/k2r.png) Cheers, James x

EssBrace, no Photoshop-ing. Mmmm, interesting! A real bit of red felt then. Maybe in a weighted 88 key piano or controller from your very own employers then.....no doubt all will be revealed in a couple of weeks in L.A? That K2 looks good - but the combination of brassy Kawai logo and chrome fallboard hinge, pedals and casters is a fashion faux-pas. The devil's in the detail!

In addition to bowing out of this thread because I didn't like the turn it had taken, I was uploading some new stuff to my Soundcloud page so I had to delete the original link to the Faziloi test to make room. I was still out of space so I went ahead and upgraded to the next Sc level. I received a few PMs asking about the demo test, so to be fair to anyone who hadn't heard it, here's the Large Nord Fazioli sample again on "Pensativa" http://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris/pensativa-clare-fischer/s-flu0CMany have already heard this but here's the Nord Bosendorfer and Yamaha CP5 recorded last Spring of '12 again for comparison. I did use differing mic pres for these two. Due the nature of the Nord samples, I think the John Hardy Twin Servo is more flattering for the Nord Bosendorfer then the more transparent Forssell SMP-2. On the other hand, the CP5 best benefits from the Forssell to my ears. These demo tests were made before I'd purchased the JMK Audio JM-110 di/pre. For these DPs, I'd have to give the nod to the JM-110 at this time. It has the best of both worlds--transparency and just a tad of color which adds a nice vibe for the digital sound. Nord Bosie http://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris/gentle-rain-bonfa-nord/s-JVeeUYamaha CP5 http://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris/gentle-rain-bonfa-cp5/s-HMc1HI'll leave these up here for 10 days or so and then probably delete them...so go ahead and download them now, if so desired, as opposed to later.

This is a cross post from the KC forum. Again, perhaps heard by a few already, here's the Nord Bright Grand XL in action last year on a student demo at LA Music Academy. So now you have all these most recent Nord sample clips in one place. This is a first take on the student's composition and recorded live in the studio. Piano comping solo for trumpet solo starts at 2:00 and then piano solo around 3:05: http://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris/nord-xl-bright-grand-at-lama/s-5VYB3
