If you need a more complicated scenario of synth sounds, like a workstation could create easyly, I think you' ll need a real workstation together the Stage. Very good for Strings sounds or lead synths ( but the best will be keep a second keyboard and play Nord Stage synth sound in midi mode ). The Nord Stage has the Best electric piano, hammond and acoustic piano sounds, but you can only create 2 layer of synth sounds.

It will give you a good idea of how to work with each instrument.

In addition to You Tube videos, forum opinions and playing them live, I suggest you download and read through the user manuals for the instruments you are considering.

Do some extensive research before you pull the trigger on your next purchase. You obviously hang onto your equipment a very long time. The Artis 7 may give you everything you need/want in a relatively light package. I also suggest you look at Kurzweil's Artis and Forte products. Yamaha's Motif and Montage lines and Korg's Kronos and Krome products would be considered competitive. If you like the Roland sound, UI and workflow, you should look at the FA series, as it might be the most familiar ground to you. I personally struggle with the workflow on many Yamaha instruments. This is not intended as an insult in any way.

Some understand it and love it, others not so much. The Nord architecture is also unlike the other brands. But, I also understand that a lot of ears disagree with me. I personally much prefer the more organic sounding Nord samples. Just my opinion - I'm not a fan of the highly processed emulations of the Roland, Korg and Yamaha products. You do not have to wait for a Stage 3 to show up at the dealer to hear how a Nord sounds - you can play the current Stage 2EX line to get a good idea. I strongly suggest you play different instruments to hear what appeals to you the most. The samples are pretty acoustic sounding, and don't have the electronic articulations that Roland, Korg and Yamaha have built into their instruments.

I was really psyched to upgrade, but now I'm wondering if it's not the best choice for meīe aware that Nord Keyboards don't sound like the major Japanese brands. I'm hoping the NS3 Compact will have something similar?

I use one "general purpose" horn patch (which sounds great and nicely cuts thru the blasting guitar) for songs like Ides of March "Vehicle," "Walking on Sunshine," "Soul Man," etc. My Fantom has a wood block type patch that lets me sound exactly like the sounds on Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and Sia's "Cheap Thrills." I see in this forum that somebody is requesting help how to tweak to get the synth sound for "Final Countdown," while my Fantom has a patch that sounds exactly like the record. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I don't even find a soprano sax in the Nord library? My old Fantom has a great soprano sax patch that I've used for the beginning of "What's Goin' On" and the sax solo in "Caribbean Queen." I get compliments from the other band guys on how real it sounds. I'm sure the piano and organ patches will sound as good and probably *much* better than the ones I'm using, but I'm wondering if getting good synth sounds to match the records will be a problem and/or require all kinds of tweaking or begging from others? (Sorry, I'm lazy) The NS3 Compact looks fantastic as a replacement (especially the 22 pounds part), and I won't need 2 of them. I actually take both of them to gigs as a back up, and *really* hate lugging 2 of them. I have 2 of them so I can keep one where we practice and don't have to lug it back & forth.

I figure that it's time to upgrade before the display burns out, or the internal battery that holds presets fails (are they legit concerns on an old machine?). It has 1024 patches to choose from, and I'm amazed that I can almost always find a patch that sounds amazingly close to the ones used on the "records." (Sorry, I'm an old guy) I play in a cover band, and use a Roland Fantom FA76, which debuted about 1999.
