It's like a real piano just powered by electricity! My advice try it. In addition NS2 has string resonance, pedal & damper noise. I was also worried about the low polyphony on Nord for the piano section.there are no polyphony issues, I don't know how they do it. I played the Kronos and wasn't convinced.had never played any Nord and took a stab in the dark based on the samples I heard on their site. I was deciding between the Kronos and the NS2 for piano, rhodes and organ sounds. I say all of that to say, the Nord Stage 2 with the current selection of piano samples is the first hardware synth where I feel I can plug it up and get a TOTALLY authentic piano and Rhodes sound whether live playing or studio recording. Mostly because I am a trained and seasoned pianist/keyboardist and I need(ed) the sound that was the most authentic and inspiring to me.(I play on a Bosendorfer Imperial and Steinway D more than 3x a week!!). To make matters worse I would use Rhodes sounds from Komplete and Electric Keys also. Nord (earlier models), Fantom, Motif, Korgs.you name it.
Quite honestly I used Ivory 2 and Ivory original when recording any piano sounds because I always felt the piano sounds sucked on ALL hardsynths. I used Ivory 2 for recording and live performance when I had my Fantom G8 because I was not satisfied with the piano sounds. I chose the NS2 primarily for it's excellent piano sounds. I'd have to also agree that taste is something personal, BUT. Here though, I am talking of comparing the best with the best Well it is - to a degree, but not wholly, everyone can tell the difference between a Joanna and a Steinway and the early piano synths (by which i mean everrything up until a couple of years ago) were very synthetic and a pale comparison.
