Thanks for your clip about these two pianos. I'm just at a crossroads where Nord Piano 5 stands against Viscount Legend 70's Artist W. I think the Nord piano has a higher resale value, but after auditioning them, says the heart Viscount.
Thank you for this demonstration. Even though this was mostly talk, the brief pieces helped demonstrate the sounds well. The Viscount pianos sounds more aggressive and clear. I could use any of those patches, but they are quite samey. The Nord has more variation, and patches I would never use. A couple of them are similar in characteristic to the Viscount; so with the Nord's ability to layer pianos sounds I can get the one piano with the angry lower and the bell-like upper register that I like.
Great video Chuck. It sounds like the Nord is more closely related to the original acoustic sounds. The Viscount has a very distinct sound you only hear on electric grands. Honestly reminds me of something you’d hear on a lower end yamaha portable grand.
Nice work, Chuck! The A.Piano module is a must. The quality of the pianos from the Sound Collection module are drastically inferior, imo. It's a velocity/sample thing.
Great review man ! I’d still stick with the Nord. I really wish the Nord Grand could layer pianos like the 5. I do enjoy the feel of the Viscount. Curious.. How is the feel of the 5 verses Nord Grand ?
I would go for the Nord. But why would someone want to piggy back the 2 in a real concert? What function would that serve? They're both sound so similar ( from computer speakers anyway) I remember ( way back) when Farfisa and Hammond organs were all the rage. Do any of these have those sounds Chuck? Great review! Thanks Chuck!
You'd piggy back them to get two 88-key keyboards, each playing their own assigned sound/instrument. Each company (Nord, Viscount) makes other boards that have some great Farfisa and other organ sounds.
Nord wins. Always.The piano 5 is a dream machine. Consider putting an upright with a concert grand a mix them to a unique blend.Drop in effects, e. q., etc amd it becomes ( from my point of view) a war machine to address even classic music in a different perspective.Plus you can do same with harpsichord or whatever to address above said purpose. If I would be a seriuos classical pianist I would explore that heavily.

Maybe clean your ears :)

Thanks... and I agree with you about the pianos from the A.Piano module vs the Sound Collection module!

what the farmer doesn't know he won't eat. This is a German proverb! The Viscount is the best Stagepiano on the Market! Nord is not up to date!
