Nord Lead 2x ?

[chromatic]

hello :)

Who is using a nord lead 2x with a virus ?
Do you feel they are complementary ?
i have a virus Ti2 Desktop and i want a new master keyboard (my edirol keyboard just died...), so iam thinking maybe buy a cheap NL2X as the keyboard seems very good, especially the pitch bend... and so for the extra $ compared to a simple midi keyboard (m-audio, edirol etc etc ) i would like to know if the sound of the NL2X can be usefull with a Virus... do they sound different or will i never need to use the NL2 in a mix ?

thanks :)

I have the nord rack 2. if your looking at the keyboard to be your master you might want to check out the arp section. I couldnt live as my nord been the master. I may have missed something though.

you will be disappointed from the keys
nice sound , but not so "experimental" patches

I am using a NL2 with a Virus C and they go well together. The Nord has a heap more punch in the bottom end, and it can scream like there's no tomorrow.

The keys suck on the NL2, but the mod-wheel/pitch bend combo kick serious butt! I definitely wouldn't want to use it as my only controller keyboard though.
