I recently purchased a 2 Tier stand for my existing keyboard stand. So now I have my Nord Electro at the bottom, and my Korg Krome at the top. It is must easier to play both keyboards at the same time this way. I have also found out how quicker it is to make quick beats from a hardware sequencer such as the built in one on the Korg Krome. I spend hours banging out quick beats and then playing keys over them. No need to touch a mouse at all. However small minor adjustments and editing is a bit of a pain using hardware.
See below for a video of a beat I just made on the fly.

Now I have all this space in front of my desk. I want a small 25 key MIDI input keyboard.
Nice beat man, you should add this one to one of the pack for us!
Thanks, will be adding more material shortly.
Are you using just sounds from the keyboards? Or VST’s too?
Most of my sounds are actually from a combination of the two keyboards. Keys of course from the Nord and Drums, bass, synth from the Korg. I record everything in Ableton but I do use a few VSTs from there. I like the warmth of the sounds from the Hardware devices. The sounds travelling via the Audio cables and being re-processed makes that difference.
