heyy :) i am currently trying to decide between an electro 7HP or a yamaha yc88 and although I do prefer the sound of the nord in practicaly every single example I've listened to, I feel like the YC is almost almost there but always has this very artificial reverb and a little bit of a weird unnatural compression. Is this something that comes with the patches naturally and you can remove, like an master FX or something, or are the actual patches like this? cus if so, I think i couldn't handle it and would rather wait for the 7HP to come out (in portugal it still isn't around) than buying something for almost 3k that i'll never fully be happy with.

thanks in advance <3

I've been wanting to get myself a nice keyboard but I'm not really too knowledgeable about any sort of physical music gear... I wanna get one that I could connect to my PC (through USB preferably) and use as a MIDI controller inside FL Studio, but I'd also like to just be able to play it on its own. An old friend of mine had one that had a little screen on it with a bunch of different instruments and patches that I could skim through, so I'd also prefer one similar to that.

I'm aware that many keyboards have MIDI ports and such but I'd much rather have the convenience of just connecting through USB (which I assume would be a feature more common in newer models)

Anyway, if anybody has recommendations that fit all those criteria please let me know!!
