Lately I have been spending time with just two instruments... an M400 and 
my Triton ProX... and a cheesy drum machine. No computers except to capture what 
I'm doing.

>>I probably will in the end Andy. It has a fairly good  action and the one I tried out had a quite useable piano and a very  nice harpsichord. The free sample library is also a plus. A  good  piano will cost at least $20,000 compared to $3700 for the Electro. (  Kiwi dollars )

>> I have the Electro 3 and am really happy with it.  Lightweight, so simple to use. Great organs, acoustic pianos, Rhodes  variants, trons, all very useable particular when driven through the  on board eqs and amp/effects sims. And if that's not enough, you can  download from the huge sample library for free from the Nord  website.

>>>I was trying out the Nord Electro 4 HP73 at the week end which  I really liked. However it is really just a keyboard that plays back  samples. I have a weighted action midi keyboard and a PC already and  for a 10th of the price could use Kontakt 5. Has anybody on the list  used both? Any thoughts?
