- Do you really need a Nord?
Here is the Hammond on the Yamaha CK 61, playing (by memory, not checking the original) Supertramp's "The Long Road".
I'm using the Rotary B and Harmonic Enhancer (all parameters around 60).
The sound is sent directly from the CK to the smartphone via the Rec'n Share app.
In the last 5 years, I've played live and on studio in 3 or 4 different Nord models and two actual Hammond organs, plus the Yamaha Reface and Arturia's B3 V-2.
For studio recording, I've played on actual B3s and with Arturia's B3 V-2.
Live, the Nords weren't always the best-sounding options.
So, I repeat - Do you really need a Nord?
You may want the red expensive thing, but I'm quite convinced - no, you don't need it. There are less expensive options out there with comparable - if not better sound quality, and weighing less.
And, to be clear - if you're into recording your solo Hammond organ B3, you're not going to do it in a Nord.

I have both...Use CK 61 on top of Nord Electro5D. Told my wife "look honey all good keyboardist have the RED keyboard"
What don't you like about the Nord organ sound? Its impressive to me, is there something I should be wary of?
I particularly found its high-end frequencies harsher than the Yamahas, especially when adding the upper register, and it sits worse in the mix when compared to it (to my ears). I found myself playing in the same place, the same songs, with a Nord in some occasions, and the CK in others. Clearly, the sound operators cut more frequencies when I use the Nord and in the end, I hear less of it in the final result and the sound is less pleasant. It is the other way round, however, when it comes to the Rhodes.
Noisy keys. Is that what I am hearing?
@@njphilwt No. there are no noisy keys and no microphone.
It's the Hammond style 'click' - the percussive element of the keys. I can't speak to the CK's sounds, but in many keyboards that is an option element of the organ sound.
