I'd love for the Wave to be able to replace all of this. I really hate relying on my Macbook, and in general, having such a complex setup. This is all in addition to a guitar rig.

Any input would be appreciated!

if you want a 2nd keyboard with the full flexibility of a synth then the wave is probably a good choice. But if you just want to play some basic synth sounds/samples and only want to carry 1 kbd with you then another option is to upgrade to the nord electro 3.

It can load samples just as the wave, the only difference being that in the electro you can only had fx to them.

The downside is that you'd have to work on you synth sounds. You'd probably need to make your own sample programs etc...and of course you'd never have the full expressive power of a full synth...But if you only want to play some simple synth sounds I think you could probably get a way with it.

But the NE2 + the wave would offer the best of all worlds imo...
