Back on Topic...

I've been playing a friend's Electro2 61 quite a bit, recently, and think that, once you start to get used to them, and put the time in that learning how to push and pull the B3's drawbars around took (even they are not perfect!), you can get used to the Nord system. It just takes practice.

The thing about the 'high' trigger point on the C1 is taken from the B3, and the contact bars. It doesn't model (unlike the TOTL B3 Hammond clone) the fact that different drawbars would trigger (very quickly, but you could notice it if you pressed a key VERY slowly) at different times, but a B3 definitely triggers MUCH higher in the throw that a piano or electronic keyboard. It is what made those lightening runs and repeated notes so easy...

I only have one major quibble with the Electro2, and that is that it won't do two things at once (other than a B3 split)... You can't layer it's Wurli with a Hammond, for instance. So I am looking a LOT harder at the Nord Stage, these days. But my ideal would be to have the C1, with a Nord Stage engine inside it. The PERFECT 'jamming' keyboard, as far as I am concerned...

Hopefully, Nord will develop it. It would be KILLA'..!
