Nord Electro 3 73 Key Stage Piano/Organ.

Much like it's predecessors, the Nord Electro 3 Seventythree stage piano/organ meets the demands of the performing keyboard player. It offers up some of the best stuff Nord has to offer in affordable and easy-to-use instruments. The keyboard is compatible with the Nord Piano library and takes full advantage of the Library's multitude of velocity layers, pedal-down samples, and extremely high quality samples providing you with unprecedented expressiveness. The keybed itself features a 73-key (6 octaves) velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted "waterfall" (square front) keyboard to help make this possible. Any current or future piano that is available for the Stage family will also automatically be available to the Nord Electro 3.Exquisited New Pianos Right from the start, the Electro 3 is loaded with a great selection of pianos. There are 3 acoustic grands (2 Yamaha C7s and one Steinway D) and 2 electric grands. Electric piano aficionados will love the time-based types; an Mk I, a Suitcase Mk I, an Mk II and an Mk V all with their unique and distinctive personalities. A great Wurlitzer A200 is present, as is the mighty Clavinet D6. The Clavinet type also includes the Harpsichords. There is a French harpsichord in the factory sound bank, and more to come in the Nord Piano Library download area. Each and every one of these pianos can be replaced if you wish. There are plenty more to choose from in the Library area, including some XL versions of Nord's grand pianos, with even more details like added velocity layers and pedal-down samples. And all those sounds are available for free.Samples from the Nord Library Not only loaded with great piano sounds, the Electro 3 also sports some great samples to add flavor to your sonic arsenal. You'll find some of the classic Mellotron sounds, a selection of strings, celeste, vibraphone, and many others. And, just as with the piano partition, all of the samples can be replaced if the factory selection does not suit your immediate needs. You can also add virtually any sound you want to the Nord Electro 3. Sounds that Nord offers for free come from the Mellotron Library or any other instrument from the expanding and extensive Nord Sample Library, which is the same format as what the Nord Wave uses. Nord Sample Editor By using the free Nord Sample Editor, you can add any sound you want to the Electro 3. The Sample Editor can use audio files in the .wav format and is equipped with some great tools to assist you in getting the results you want. Mapping several samples across the keyboard or creating perfect loops has never been easier. You can even start assembling your own samples today in the computer, without having the Nord Electro 3 present—just download the Editor, the Electro 3 manual, and fire away. The Nord Sample Editor is compatible with Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OSX. Organ Section The growling sound, and the soul of a B3 is hard to replicate faithfully in a digital instrument.. ...details

Nord Stage EX Compact.

Though it boasts the best of Clavia's award-winning technologies like its fellow series companions, the Nord Stage EX Compact keyboard lives up to its name as it takes up much less space on your desktop or stage setup. Thanks to smart design it is still able to host the same three instrument sections—Organ, Piano and Synth—plus an extensive effects section. You can use two sounds of each Section simultaneously—like two Organ manuals, two Synthesizers, and two Pianos—or they can be combined in any split or layered configuration to better fit your performance.News Flash: A free update from Nord brings Piano String Resonance to the Nord Stage EX! The Nord Stage EX has been updated to OS version 5.1, an important update that adds several new exciting features including Piano String Resonance. This feature, together with specifically designed new acoustic piano sounds in the Nord Piano Library, recreates the wonderful acoustic phenomenon that occurs inside the body of a piano. This happens when un-dampened strings or parts of strings may resonate at their fundamental or overtone frequencies when other strings are sounded. This feature livens up the Stage EX's already acclaimed pianos and provides a very natural impression of the original acoustic instrument. In addition, a new Piano Unison feature allows two pianos, selected in Panel A and B, to be detuned to create a nice blend with a natural unison effect or even a honky-tonk sound.New-to-the-series features in the Stage EX Keyboard The Stage EX Compact stems directly from the Nord Stage, but has gone through a major hardware change and also received a cosmetic makeover. The new features include: •Increased memory capacity for the piano samples. The EX Compact synth has twice the internal memory capacity compared to the former models, an increase from 128 to 256MB •The front panel sports a new color scheme The increased memory allows you to add more pianos from the Nord Stage Piano Library, to bring an even greater selection of these sounds to each and every performance.The Nord Stage EX's user interface is designed from a basic concept—All vital functions are represented on the front panel so they are easy to access, and never further away than a press of a single button. Using more than 20 years of experience in designing instruments for professional musicians, Nord has made the technology completely transparent for you the user. With the Nord Stage EX keyboard you only need to focus on your performance, which means never having to struggle with the technology.The Stage EX Compact features Nord's patented Pitch Stick and Modulation Wheel for maximum musical expression. A top-of-the-line, 73-key semi-weighted organ (waterfall profile) keyboard with Aftertouch makes you feel that the Stage's sound is balancing at the tip of your fingers, completely under your control. The efficient Morph Grouping technique is also included, allowing you to. ...details

Nord C2 Combo Organ.

The Nord C2 Combo Organ includes a B3 tone wheel organ, a Vox Continental, a Farfisa, and a beautiful baroque pipe organ. This makes the C2 an extremely versatile electric organ, giving not only rock organ players a new palette of sounds, but also making it the perfect instrument to use in churches, concert and congregation halls, or any other venue where a professional pipe organ is critical.The pipe organ From the golden age of organ building, Nord has carefully chosen a baroque organ with a devastatingly beautiful sound and wide range of expression for the C2 pipe organ portion. Using a cutting-edge sampling technique, no efforts have been spared in producing the richest and most varied sound palette for the pipe organ player.The Nord C2 pipe organ is built upon two basic types of organ pipes; flue pipes and reed pipes. The flue pipes have a softer timbre and the reed pipes a more nasal tone quality. For each keyboard division the player can choose from different sets of pipes and stops to produce different timbres. The C2's setup of stops make up a well-balanced blend of tonal qualities capable of expressing the most dramatic music in addition to conveying the subtlest of organ pieces.Stops and couplers In the pipe organ each manual has its own sound: the Great division being the part of the organ with the majestic sound, whereas the Swell has a more mellow tonal quality. The Couplers are used to activate combinations of different stops from both manuals, so that pressing keys on one manual also connects stops from the other manual or pedal. The Pedal division has three bass stops, which the user can choose to play from the lower manual by attaching the Nord Pedal Keys 27 (optional accessory), or by attaching a 30-note classic digital organ pedal (optional accessory).Disposition The disposition has the fundamental tonal character of a baroque organ. The total number of stops is 21; 9 stops for every manual and 3 pedal stops (of which one is a combined Subbas 16 and Fagot 16). In addition to the three unison couplers usually found in two manual organs, the C2 electric organ also features three octave couplers and a special coupler that adds the Pedal to the leftmost note played on the Great manual.Swell pedal and tremulant One of the crucial ingredients for creating a vivid sound is the swell pedal. In the C2, this functions exactly as in the real-life models, giving the player intimate control over volume and dynamics of the swell manual. Another indispensable aid to make the pipe organ sound even more vibrant is the tremulant. This is a function that basically gives small and very rapid variations in volume, thereby causing the sound to tremulate. The Nord C2 provides two speeds, each with three variable depths.It's not only about the music, it's also about the player Not only does this Nord organ provide an extremely well balanced set of pipes, stops, and couplers, but it has also kept the setup close to reality for the pipe org. ...details

Nord Wave Wavetable Synthesizer.

The Nord Wave PCM-based synthesizer from Clavia closes the gap between analog and digital. Now you can use digital samples in a virtual analog environment. That means that you can take a sampled sound and tweak it into something completely different in realtime. You now have the full expressiveness of the classic analog synthesizer combined with sample technology available at your fingertips—all in a top quality, user-friendly, lightweight package.The Nord Wave has a classic analog synthesizer set-up with filters, LFO's and envelopes plus a massive oscillator section capable of producing classic analog waveformes (with sync), FM-synthesis, wavetables, sampled waves (wavetable with attack), noise and other miscellaneous waveforms as well as-yes-samples. Plus, oscillator modulation allows you to modulate one oscillator with the other; for instance an FM-sound modulated by a sampled sound-the character of the sample is applied to the FM sound.Following in the tradition of the renowned Nord Lead series, the Wave incorporates the Lead's virtual analog synthesis, FM synthesis, and a fully-integrated wavetable engine. These can be used separately or together, allowing users to create sounds that are a step above sample-playback. The Wave features high-quality wavetables generated by Clavia, and using the USB port, users can download and install extra wave files from Clavia, as well as load their own custom waves using an integrated Editor. The Wave features new multi-filtering technology which includes a formant filter, and uses two slots for toggling between sounds, or layering them for even more complex sound.Every sample in the nord wave can be replaced. You can use your own samples-simply map any standard .wav-file in the nord wave manager software (for Windows and OS X) and transfer via USB.The exclusive Clavia hardware and software design brings you response times from note-on to sounding output like no other. The ultra-low latency simply does not compare to other hardware or especially software products. Weighing only 6Kg (14 pounds) it is the kind of instrument you easily carry with you and really will not notice. Until you plug it in.• Sampled waveforms: Oscillators can now use full waveforms-not single wavetables, while still routing through fully analog circuitry. • Oscillator models: Virtual analog, FM, wavetable, sample-playback can be applied in combination (which I hear is all the rage these days). And you can load in custom waveforms, as well, via fully user-definable memory areas (so you can delete samples you hate). Clavia even promises it will offer additional, free waves on their website. An included software sample editor lets you tweak samples. • Morphing: Morph almost any parameter via mod wheel, expression, velocity, or pitch, with assignable morph scenarios and morph timelines. Filters: 24db analog-modeled resonant filters, low-, high-, band-pass filters with envelope and velocity control, combinatio. ...details
