And we'll give you one of the best prices you'll find anywhere. The Nord Electro 2 is also available as a rack mountable module!
Detailed Product Description Clavia’s goal when developing the Nord Electro was to create the best emulations of traditional electromechanical keyboard instruments on the market, and to make the instrument compact and lightweight. Nothing else. No brass banks, no orchestral sounds. No compromises. Just outstanding electromechanical keyboard sounds with true feel, from fast keyboard response to authentic sound. To make a great tool you have to put all the focus on a few things, and that’s what they did with the Electro. The organ in the Electro is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example:
The piano section comprises four carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk I Stage Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 and Electric Grand. The Electro features a unique multi-sample playback, catching every nuance from soft to hard hits. Nord Electro comes right out of the box with these four legendary electric piano sounds stored in Flash memory. As an extra bonus Clavia also included an acoustic grand piano (concert model)! The big advantage with Flash memory is that you can replace instruments with new ones. No backup battery is required. The Electro also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds in the future. The chassis of Nord Electro has changed a bit compared to the original design. It has now a more "traditional" look and comes with genuine wooden sides. Nord Electro comes in three versions: Nord Electro SixtyOne (61-key version), Nord Electro SeventyThree (73-key version) and Nord Electro Rack (19" rack version).

The
drawbars of Nord Electro are represented by up/down buttons and LED bar
graphs instead of ordinary mechanical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage:
when you change presets, the correct drawbar settings are shown immediately
by the LEDs. No need for the regular ’trial and error’ method.
It's very easy to get the hang of changing the drawbar settings in a natural
way with the buttons.
