Yep, that is a little disapointing for sure. Let's hope it has some special features in the implementation. Seems like alot of hype for something in this sort of musical area.....

The Roland midi Acordion is looking sweeter by the day! :wink:

lol yeah looks like the only thing the TI has to beat is the alesis workstation and that it can do with no problem.

Juho, do you have an inside contact in Clavia's R&D department?

Come on, you monkied them onto this idea didn't you?

haha! Not a trance beast at all. Clavia seems to build synths for jazz musicians. In fact I wasn't even expecting anything too massive from clavia. When I saw the covered keyboard I thought it will be another organ or something because it was so long. NL2 & NL3 are still the trance synths from clavia. A NL4 would have been great...

I think the pipe legs ala Rhodes was a clearer clue.

It's great that Clavia makes keyboards aimed for players and performers.

And what is a trance synth? A supersaw rack synth that has an arpeggiator going through Am-G-F-G by a press of a button?

A trance synth is a synth which is used alot in trance music. :wink:

I think this was a dissapointment. Really crappy to play Hammonds now.

are you saying it is crappy to play hammond emulation on fully weighted keys?

now that is a load of crap...

i personally think playing *anything* on fully weighted keys beats any of the decks produced by *any* modern keyboard/synth manufacturer.

but i guess those who have only ever played on cheap, plasticky keys wouldnt know any better.

may as well buy an m-audio controller and virus poco.... :wink:

You know those fast Hammond glissandos that sound like "wwrrau"? Try to paly those on fully weighted. You end up loosing your fingers. ?hih. Hammods should have as light keytouch as possible + soft waterfalls. That would be the original Hammond keyboard and it truly is the best organ keyboard around. Fully weighted is the worst keyboard for Hammonds, believe me.

Electro had a nice touch in a way that the keyboard wasn't too stiff for Hammonds, but also wasn't too light for Rhodes. It was excellen compromise keyboard. But on the other hand that new Stage Clavia is designed to be played with additional keyboard, but still the loss of the only waterfall keyboard of synth market was a shame.

just personal preference juho.

Actually, it ain't all that bad!

Even has wavetable, FM, and the usual subtractive synthesis in addition to the pianos/organs models.

And a host of effects to boot!
