I'm new to this game and currently trying to choose between the Korg Kronos and Nord Stage 3.
One thing I've read is that the Stage had two-part multitimbrality. Now, I've looked up a definition of this but I'm still not sure what the implications are. Can anyone tell a total noob, in layman's terms, what these would be?
Thanks!
It has a technical explanation which you should have found online while researching... But for you, the keyboard player, the implication is that, with a Multitimbral keyboard... you can play more than one sound at the same time, either by splitting or layering.
So, for instance, you can have Bass in the left section of the keybed and Piano in the right section of the keybed... with you deciding where the split point will be. You can also play its internal sounds from another MIDI keyboard if you run out of keybed real estate.
Mono-timbral = can only play 1 sound at the same time
Bi-timbral = can play 2 sounds at the same time
Multi-timbral = can play 2 OR MORE sounds at the same time
Hope that helps.
