So I came by to really listen to the pianos (because I'm sure Roland is serious on the other stuff and they own Rhodes) and definitely Nord kills. It just sounds like a great piano mic'd up right. Roland is going to have to start considering samples instead of synthesis for this cause Nord nails the Grand piano sound, the upright here is also well represented, especially the Felt Upright that sounds like every Yamaha U1 I've recorded with with felt option built into it. With that said, the v Stage is still good, especially if you want that brighter starting point. Feel like the EP section is slightly better on the Roland but maybe it's just apples and oranges here. Roland might also have the advantage with the Synths but the pad sound you demoed for sure had the Unison mode activated. Having the Roland Modeling tech on the Roland for doing the Jupiter, Juno and other might be a serious advantage but the Nord again here, has samples. I think the clear winner for me is the Nord but feel free people to push back.
After watching this video, I now know, that I made a good investment on my new Roland????The Nord does have fuller piano sounds but not that far ahead ????????????????????????????????????????
Roland gives you more for your money
Thanks but you speak too much!
Here is one main thing people are not looking at Roland V Stage does not have faders this is extremely important in live performances. Nord Sound Manager 9.10 enables the Nord Stage 4 sound banks to be on larger screen and it allows you to move shuffle things around in sound banks, rename capabilities, Back up systems easily, update system easily, organize. It has dual view sound banks.
Maaan, you play so beautifully! I watch your vids not so much to learn sth new about the gear (but it’s interesting as well), but as a main part to listen to your beautiful play
I just played my 88 note V-Stage at a jam session and all of the guys were commenting on how awesome the keyboard sounds! I love the vintage tone wheel organ sound and Leslie speaker as it sounds close to my real Be and Leslie 145! Like the 88 note keybed also! May sell my S4!
i think you can make the sound of the rolands piano like the nord does. the roland sound pretty damn raw and flat sounding. thats where the rolands modeled piano comes to play for more flex. i like it. but i do say the nord's piano sound very good out of the box.
Dsoundman can you please do a comparison of nord stage 4 and korg pa5x
Please reply this i am your follower i am asking you bcz you campare them very good so please
It’s Roland for me and it’s not even close. The action is second to none. So many ready made sounds, customization, and the organ sounds more authentic.
I like roland
dude, don’t play both of them together at the same time! i can’t compare them when you do that
To me the Nord sounds more generic and fantastic. It sound like it is ready for a gig.
The Roland serms more like a programmers dream. You are more ment to make your own sounds to play live.
Sound preference is personal, from what you presented IMO the Nord sounded better in all categories. More of an organic sound what ever that means and with the Roland more Glassy. To each their own. Sure you can make great music with either.
The Nord Stage 4 Pianos sound FAT and RICH, the Roland ones are thin and less realistic like the ones you cand find in Fantom EX series.
Nord Stage 4 Pianos, Kills Roland…. Roland pianos sound like a toy.
I almost bought the V stage off the USBC port alone
the nord blows the Roland in Acoustic Piano sounds… Not even close!
do people think the roland v stage is like a nord stage clone
The Nord pianos are definitely better but the V stage has a much better organ !!!!
The keys of nord stage 4 are smaller ????
I did the Nord tour years ago had NE4, NE5, NS2ex, and NE6. They have quite an array of voices all downloadable so customization is great…over all I find them oversprung and hard to play smoothly except the organs which fire at top of stroke. They push the midrange so they can cut through the mix in a band situation and this is where they sound nasally to me…just don’t care for Nord’s tone. Yeah it can be adjusted as much as samples can be…really prefer modeling instead. And my Viscount Legend One blows their organ away
Da solche Instrumente selten als Soloinstrumente gespielt werden,
ist vollem allem die Präsenz, die Wahrnehmung in einer Band oder in einem Audio-Mix entscheidend.
Viele Sounds klingen Solo gespielt oft beeindruckend, gehen aber anschließend im Mix unter.
The v stages red cheeks are absolutely ridiculous. Why red? Why use Nord's color?
I need to play a decent sounding bass on the left hand. Is this possible on any of these?
