Clavia Nord C2

Obviously, the zippers are virtual but have the undeniable advantage of viewing presets called. This is a good compromise that works very well and you get used quickly.

For me, more than the physical zippers, these are the two keyboards that have shaped how to play the organ. And issue value is only a little of this quality.

The keyboard is very good, strong, with the possibility to adjust the trigger function of the key is pressed.

The finish is exemplary. The sides are varnished wood, this is a very nice detail. It's reliable. It is portable, compact and lightweight.
Red can not please everyone.
It is not marked on Hammond, sorry.

North is well distributed, guaranteeing good support if problem. This is important.

The optional stand is well built, lightweight, and leaves room for a possible pedal.

UTILIZATION

Preferences are a little difficult to adjust without referring to the manual, but it does not have to come back when you have found what we need.
Zippers can miss some. The C2d is there for them.

SOUNDS

I only use the Hammond. This instrument does only one thing: the organ. And he does it well. No interface compromise between pianos, unnecessary samples, etc ... We are not distracted by other sounds. Playing.

Less: the reverb before the leslie. No spring reverb.
Plus, the hot distortion, which responds well to the pedal.

OVERALL OPINION

Sound and Leslie simulation are just exceptional. The feeling of playing something "living", which responds well, which is not fixed. It's hard to explain, but two times on the same note are not necessarily the same thing. Percussion V2 are beautiful. I love the click, adjustable attack and release. The control layout is more intuitive than the C1. We found it quickly.

Value very very good for two keyboards.

Sounds very realistic, B3, Vox, Farfisa, baroque!!

UTILIZATION

Make sure you have anyway an instruction manual and some computer knowledge to operate at 100% (which is not quite my case, lol).
it simply lacks a notebook indicating what are the pre-recorded sounds, easy to print when connected to the site keyboard (with the organ connected to the computer at the same time).

SOUNDS

On these issues, the videos posted on youtube will tell more than all the words in the world ..... For my part you can find mine posted under the name rhoda30 rhoda45 or I do not remember exactly ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2009, not enough for my taste (lack of time, and loss of control, following a long illness that affects my brain) ...
