| Having owned a NL1 back in he day and messed with quite a few NL2x and SH-201 I can say that the SH-201 is not even close to a Nord. Even less than my JP-8080. Yeah it's small and cheap but but so is a micro korg.
Strange because I was thinking about getting the NL1 back last week.
The JP-8080 or 8000 would be comparable to a Nord but different. Just I don't really recommend making analogue style patches on it. The 8080 is a sharp VA and use that to your advantage. The reason it stays for me is because it's awesome at synth strings and has modern MIDI.
But the 8080 does not hold a candle to my Jupiter 6 or 8 (whenever I get him back!). |
