Then you have a video or two, purchase links and useful comments from other users and then you have one of the most useful parts comparison tables with similar keyboards so you can compare. First I list the features of the Sequential Prophet X synthesizer. For the money of a NS3 or Roland Fantom I could buy the RD2000 and something like the Korg Prologue or Behringer DeepMind to complement it, and then run a 2board setup with RD2000 on the bottom and either Nord Electro or synth on top, depending on the gig.Review Synthesizers Sequential Prophet X. I don't know if it's possible to achieve everything I want (grand piano action, true synths, good orchestra section, portability) in a single board. My MacBook is 10yrs old and struggles with latency, and I'd rather spend $$ on more hardware than a new MBP.Īny and all suggestions and advice are welcome. I know a lot of people love the RD2000 and just use VSTs for synth sounds and patches, but I'm old-school and prefer an all-hardware setup without a need to bring a laptop to gigs. They just sound flat and artificial to my ears compared to the offerings from Roland and Korg.įinally, I've heard good things about the Korg Nautilus and the Kronos (now discontinued I think?) as well as the Yamaha Montage, but haven't had the opportunity to play either of these, so not sure how they stack up. I've also never been a fan of Nord's string and horns sounds, even the ones from the sample library. I'm not crazy about the action however and it also makes my Electro a bit redundant. I also tried the Nord Stage 3 and liked the onboard synth.

I also considered the Fantom 8 (same action plus a real synth), but it's $2k more, a lot bigger/heavier (not ideal for gigging), and is geared more towards music production. But maybe it would be good enough for my purposes. I have heard there are downloads that expand the synth section a lot, but not sure how close the samples come to what I'm trying to cover. However (someone please correct if I'm wrong), it doesn't have a true on-board synth, just samples, and no arpeggiator or oscillators etc. It's probably the best DP action I've ever played for classical and jazz work. I rented the Roland RD2000 for a while and fell in love with the PHA-50 action. EPs and organs are not as critical since I have the Nord. So ideally, I'd like a new 88key stage piano with good action, a decent synth section, and good acoustic piano and orchestral sounds. While this will primarily be for stage, I will also sit down at home to play Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov etc as well as Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea etc. Action is also really important to me since I don't own an acoustic piano at home (live in a condo). I need to be able to save and store polyphonic synth patches as presets on a stage keyboard. I need to be able to replicate (or get close to) tones from the likes of Parliament, Rufus, Londonbeat, Coldjack etc, as well as rock stuff like Rush, the Cars, and so on. My new band plays a lot of 80s covers and I find my rig just isn't cutting the mustard when it comes to synth sounds. The Roland has been a trusty board for over 10 yrs but is now technically inferior to today's offerings, so is due for a replacement. I love the Nord for organ work with the physical drawbars & waterfall keys, and the EP sounds are great too, so I am thinking I'll keep it. My current setup is an old Roland RD700GX (88key) with a Nord Electro 4D 61SW on top.

I haven't gigged in a while due to Covid but am in a band again and looking to upgrade my rig. I'm a classically trained pianist but play a lot of jazz, funk, R&B, blues, rock, etc. I know this question has been beat to death on this forum but figured I'd ask anyway. Looking for some advice on how best to upgrade my rig and figured I'd ask here.
