88 Key weighted MIDI controller for NS3 compact

[Rudis65]

I have the North stage 3 compact, and play the piano sounds via MIDI from my Yamaha S90ES, but the velocity is not matching so well. I found it difficult to play in a dynamic way.
Any experience with other weighted controllers/Stage pianos that work better with the NS3compact?

I used a Yamaha MOXF8 and a Roland RD800 with my Stage 3 Compact for some time and both did well in terms of velocity and dynamic playing capability when playing the Nord pianos with these keyless

Fatar studiologic series would be a decent solution, as the keybeds and contact sensors are fatar in nord products, the studiologic controllers have velocity mapping adjustments, I know this from my old SL990

I use Yamaha MX88 to control Stage 3 Compact. It's inexpensive, has it's own sounds when you need them, and works really well with NS3C as a controller. It also has proper MIDI ports and adjustable velocity curves.

Have anyone tried the Korg D1 as a controller for Nord?

I wouldn't bother, poor action, just feels weird.

Hi sus_4,

which one are you talking about? SL88 Grand, as I suppose?

[sus_4]

No, the Studio... I use it for gigging. The Grand would be too heavy for my needs.
