Nord at NAMM 2022: Kevin Powell

[@lennwyche609]

I wish I had been blessed with this type of talent

[@dereknoto6555]

Yeah, practice will get you only so far when it comes to skill like this imo. Their brains are wired differently, they absorb it differently.

[@sidthetech_USA]

First time hearing Kevin. I can tell he's a master at his craft. Well played.

[@stanakazam]

Big up nord for introducing me to some incredible musicians

[@bassbender7847]

[@Lyricalxs]

Kevin is a bad bad man......

[@DaraM73]

Give us user velocity curves on the Nord Grand action! A broken instrument without it.

[@paullebon323]

Nord Grand action? 🤣 It's just an old out of date Kawai action that Kawai uses on midrange boards.

[@DaraM73]

@@paullebon323 it’s a great action, especially on the MP7se, it’s just that Nord have hobbled it. (And a Fatar TP40L isn’t old?)

[@paullebon323]

@@DaraM73 It isn't a Fatar TP40L. It's an old short plastic Kawai RH3 action. It's nothing like a grand piano action. For the money that Nord charges, it should at least have the infinitely superior wooden Grand Feel action, which has much longer keyssticks akin to an acoustic grand piano. And as the Nord Grand is relatively new, it should really have the Grand Feel 3 action. As to the low end Fatar actions found on other Nords, the Studiologic Numa X Piano GT has a wooden Fatar TP400W action (like a Dexibell Vivo S9, which is far better than anything Nord could imagine) at a price of $2000.

[@DaraM73]

@@paullebon323 yeah, all true, but for a gigging piano I couldn’t haul a wooden keyed monster around. (Oh & I know it’s a Kawai action, the rest of Nords are Fatar, which have a horribly short, shallow, keystrokes).

[@paullebon323]

@@DaraM73 I used to haul a 65lb guitar amp (amp alone less guitars, pedal board etc) all over. But, even if that was my current circumstance, my Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII midi controller only weighs 30lbs. And, as I am almost exclusively a VST guy (even where my Kawai MP11SE is concerned) I still wouldn't drop + $4000 on Nord Grand knowing how paltry its specs are. If Nords were worth the price, I'd have one or maybe two. I was originally going to buy a Stage 3. But when I researched the specs (action, pedal unit, polyphony, sample memory etc...) I couldn't believe how little they offered for a top dollar price. Yes, they are pretty and red. But that isn't enough for me to drop $5000 on a stage 3 (current price.) I suspect that most of the pros that one sees playing Nords were given them and paid to play them exclusively.

[@rastarito]

I was expecting new products like the Electro 7

[@ellasdtchetche9401]

Cool

[@lyneicehaynes4922]

I got a new piano.

[@OffbeatenPathMedia]

congratulations I know the feeling

[@geremie08]

Do y’all understand what’s going on……

[@music7774life]

All these gospel musicians play the same rhythm bump jam...there so good and can play Alot of different styles and songs, but don't know why they all decide to play the same thing...

[@TrunxKraft3000]

It depends on what you heard.

[@dulistanheman]

It's part of culture.

[@franklinhart2056]

Polka bands, Mariarchi bands, Rock bands have their signitures. Gospel musicians.... Gospel music lol

[@tuneunleashed]

Well what do you expect lol thats why its a genre. Genres have their own signatures that make them standout thats why there is Pop, Jazz, Gospel, Hip-Hop, Rock, Orchestra, you name it!
