This review is from: Nord Electro 3, 61-Key Electronic Stage Piano and Organ, (AMS-NE361)I sold my Electro 2 so I could partially buy the latest model. After using it a few weeks it's clear how much better it could have been. Here are the good and bad:Good:- New sounds including Vox Continental, Farfisa, harpsichords and samples.- Better Hammond organ sound.- Better piano sounds but they take up a lot of memory and do not have keyboard resonance features of the Nord Stage EX.- Sample software allows you to create your own sounds, organize your patches and is easy to use.- More built-in effects including reverb, compression and 3 different amplifier distortions.- USB (not MIDI) interface to download patches.Bad:- Limiting up/down buttons plus A/B patch selector makes it difficult to get to the sounds you want quickly. The Electro 2 had 8 buttons plus bank up/down which is more useable.- Unergonomic button layout makes navigation difficult. For example, the shift button is too far from the organ presets making it impossible to play and switch presets at the same time.- Lack of effect amount knobs as on the Electro 2. You are stuck with toggling through only 3 preset amount settings.- Ring modulation should not be an oscillator like tremelo. The Electro 2 is correct. - New Vox and Farfisa sounds aren't that accurate.- Expression pedal always effects organ volume so there is no way to do Wah-Wah organ.- Only 64 MB of onboard sample library memory means you'll be limited to how many sounds you can use at a time.- Sample software is limiting and doesn't allow for more than one sample per key, assigning polyphony, glide (portamento) or other patch functions.- No pitch wheel. Nord provides many synthesizer samples but, there's no way to control them. The Electro 3 cannot receive pitch bend MIDI commands from another keyboard either.- No modulation wheel. Why bother having any synthesizer sounds without modulation.- Same non-weighted keyboard feels junky.- Expensive.[DW]...
