Why I Use the Nord Grand 2: Aesthetic Arguments Around Keyboard Simulation

We live in a world of simulation. I don’t mean that in the we-live-in-a-simulation crackpot nonsense, but in the sense that humans have used technology to simulate experience for as long as human history remembers. We simulate pain, pleasure, rest, excitement, music, dance, whatever you can think of through technology. As pianists, we cannot avoid having to simulate our instrument. We, however, can avoid losing control over the narrative we present through aesthetic choices.
