A model of how a premium instrument for professional keyboardists should sound and behave.
More desirable than ever for putting on the bottom (or only) tier of your gigging keyboard stand
What justifies the Stage 2's existence in today's crowded market of all-in-one gig keyboards? It's the combination in a single instrument of all these sounds and features: killer organ and vintage keys, breathtaking acoustic pianos, analog- and digitalsounding synthesizers, workstation-like general-purpose sounds, the ability to load your own samples, effects that are easy to apply and adjust on a whim, and an action that really connects you to the sounds.
Nord has rolled all of it into one classy mothership of a keyboard that's a genuine joy to play. Being able to stack and split all these sounds almost instantly, without paging through edit parameters, is most refreshing, and I believe that the Stage 2 will earn its keep very quickly in just about any gig.
