    Can anyone confirm if this has Fatar TP/7BA keybed or not? This is one of the cheaper Fatar keybeds so I hope not... However I know that each manufacturer tweak their key action even it's Fatar. I haven't tried one yet myself, but would be good to know what people think.

    Just noticed, his patches are all "likes", as in L.1, L.2, L.4, etc......these are not the factory presets as they would be as follows: A.1, A.2, A.3 and so on......I own the NLA1, the faxtory patches are great but these have been tweaked. Nothing wrong with that, but don't expect it to sound just like this demo at first.

      @@swtdr34mz just got this one, the color is a bit much yes. But there is nothing plastic about it, all metal including the mod wheel (excluding keys and knobs ofc).
      I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t like the wood pitch lever thing, but it is nice. Feels very natural and it has no dead-zone so any movement is affecting pitch.
      Keys are not bad, they are not weighted which some people doesn’t like, but it is high quality non weighted keys, feels exactly like an old midi controller I have that I love that has vert similar keys.
      Wish it had aftertouch and can’t figure out why the “osc mod” uses the left-most display for some modes but the oscilator display for other modes when showing the values… other than that it is everything I expected and it feels like a high quality product unlike some of the more plastic roland and novation synths (not same price at all but still). Build quality is top notch.
      Would never buy it for MSRP though, I got it second hand for the same price as a DeepMind 12. Picked the nord simply because it is “locally produced” close to where I live and that I expect the quality to be higher.

      On the contrary, I have owned a lot of synths and I am really happy with the synth engine of my NS3. I think depends on how much you master it what you can get out of it. Of course it may be a matter of tastes as well, but what I am trying to say is that this demo is not representative of A1.
