Thank you! Make sure yours has the updates when you get it. Otherwise it's easy to update on your own. I use the NC2X more here: ruclips.net/video/p0LdPbKmWTg/видео.html
@@jaylewis8632 I wish I could figure out why I don't see all of the messages. There isn't anything included to add bass pedals on this synth. You may be able to do something with MIDI and a MIDI splitter.
Hi, what do you think about the sound quality of the patches? My concern is about the quality of electric, FM and hybrid pianos mostly. Also some pads and strings. Are they comparable to Kurzweil Sp6? Thanks in advance.
Hi, bit late but for some reason I did not get a notification of your comment. With a bit of modification, the pianos are quite usable. I do not have a Kurzweil SP6 to compare to, although I do have a K2600XS. I also have a 1975 Stage Rhodes 88. As you can hear from this demo, the pianos, electric pianos and organs are quite good, at least in my opinion.
@@RandyPiscione I am amateur musician. I bought PC 4 SE ( the cheapest of PC 4 series) K 2700 is good with all of the features and build quality but It is heavy... 52 pounds. PC4 is only 28, but it is very good also.
@@angelmirmartinez9096 You are absolutely correct. I'm a Kurzweil fan. The NC2X is only 16 pounds, the real reason I bought it. The K2700 would replace my K2600XS, and wouldn't be leaving my studio.
the black keys are hard and inconvenient to press especially in fast passages. They also knock loudly, louder than white ones. The keys are shorter and narrower. Very disappointed
I find if you expect it to feel anything like an actual piano, but still weigh nearly nothing, you're looking at the wrong instrument. I'm classically-trained, followed by a few years of jazz training as well, so this keyboard really takes some getting used to. If I don't play it for a little while, I need to get familiar with it all over again. But given some practice, it is possible to get comfortable with it. The keys are shorter than an actual piano-style action, but they are not narrower. The keys are the same length as those on my Oberheim FVS, ARP Odyssey and Roland A-49. The only other unit I was going to check out was the Kurzweil SP6. It's a bit heavier and more expensive of course. You don't see too many people using Kurzweil but I still use my K2600XS and love it. If you're near the Boston area, talk to Weiser Sound about Kurzweil.
@@RandyPiscione Thanx for a reply! I didn't mean 'weigh nearly nothing' - the key weight is not a problem to me though I prefer hammer action(grew up at acoustic piano), of course. I meant the discomfort to pressing black keys on this keybed! I didn't feel that way playing Roland's PHA-4, PHA-50 or Korg's RD3. Some of Nords also have semi-weighted keys but playing feels great! I think the reason is in the low(cheap) quality of Fatar T9/Piano mechanism. I took it for a portability and paws gym :) . Didn't expect 'WOW effect' of that instrument though I like it as a MIDI board BUT black keys upsets me )))) Also velocity curve is far from ideal using as a DP. Adjusting it in DAW saves me
@@koticmorskoj6409 True about the velocity curve. The main reason I bought it was the weight of the entire instrument. So easy to stick it under one arm and go anywhere. I was taking a Roland A-90! I think a better keyboard would've been nice but would've increased the weight. I may be using it for actual gigs soon, rather than only jams, we'll see how it does.
beautiful playing..nice but affordable keyboard..mine is on the way waiting for arrival..

Hey can you add bass pedals

@@RandyPiscione thanks. I finally went with a Kurzweil...
@@angelmirmartinez9096 Good choice. I bought the NC2X mostly for the light weight. I'm still considering a K2700 'though.
