Described as "the keyboard player's keyboard", the new Nord Electro 3 comes "highly recommended" in the May 2009 issue of Sound On Sound.
The Electro 3 is the latest incarnation of Nord's award-winning electromechanical keyboard, featuring a superbly giggable set of organs, electric pianos, acoustic pianos, and now with a user-replaceable sample library for adding any sample of your choosing.
The Electro 3 now uses the virtual modelling of Nord's C1 dedicated organ. The review praises the sound quality and realism, describing them as "superb" with the Hammond B3 emulation becoming "my instant favourite".
The ability to use any of Nord's sample library in the Electro 3 - or any of the user's own samples - adds huge live capabilities and is recognised as making the Electro 3 "a far more complete and well-rounded instrument".
The all important playability that Nord is renowned for is addressed too with the verdict, "Tweakable and versatile - and, above all, highly playable".
Overall it is the concept, design and implementation of the whole package that gains most praise.
"Due to a willingness to respond to reviews and user feedback, Nord have continued to improve their original design, producing their best collection yet of classic instruments in convenient, modern form. The Nord Electro 3 is a mature, highly evolved, organ-based keyboard capable of coveted electric pianos, Clavinets, acoustic grands and any sample you care to feed it."
The conclusion: "If you are looking for a single keyboard to deliver classic rock organs, pianos and lots more beside, the Nord Electro 3 comes highly recommended."
