Clavia Nord Half Moon Switch

POSITIVE POINTS / Discretion ok on the synth, do not interfere with the game left hand, perfect fixation, strong metal construction, essential for the NE5 (would have liked also to be able to mount it on older models, but good ....

POOR POINTS /: the "clack" produced by changing speed is much too strong: in a live recording, it's downright messy, and we must return to a foot switch.
Technically, it is not clear why a contactor this simple, even primitive would make as much noise: there are perfectly silent inters in the trade, especially for new generations of foot switches or guitar pedals. There, it's vintage, but with the bad sides of the vintage.
Another bad point: the price clearly excessive: this thing should be worth 50 euros, no more.
Finally, it's a very small detail purely aesthetic, but it's a shame: the cable hangs under the synth, it's not so good, and it clings everywhere: a little trick of fixing in the middle kind bandeau scratch sticker would have been welcome.
A good point: 'it is not necessary to disassemble the machine to place the NE5 in the official red cover NORD.
