The perfect 88. Stunning acoustic grand samples, organ, electric painos, clavinet, synthesizers, and every effect you're likely to want. A broad array of gorgeous classic sounds and effects that make you glad you're a keyboard player. One dream, one package, one amazing instrument. But there's more yet to choose from...

Models

The Nord Stage comes in three different models, 88, 76 and Compact. The 88 and 76 both feature weighted hammer-action keyboards while the compact is equipped with a semi-weighted organ (waterfall profile) keyboard. Other than keyboard type and the number of accessories available, all three models share the same set of features.

Effects

Among the modulations the Nord Stage is capable of, there are the vintage Tremolo, three Wahs, and Auto-Pan. Use the Auto-Wah with a Clavinet for raw funk licks. Create a psychedelic vibe with a Rhodes on Auto-Pan. Give a Wurlitzer some body using the Tremolo.

There is a Ring Modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians. From jazz, funk, prog-rock, and pop to fusion, R&B, and avant-garde, this useful effect has conjured incredibly unique tones for a generation of players. A delay unit has been included to create haunting echoes or slap back effects.

Finally there is also a compressor and a reverb unit. The reverb unit has Room, Hall and Spring reverbs to create different atmospheres for your sounds. These effects come at the tail end of your sound-construction potential, allowing you to easily blend with your band whether you're plugged in through the main mixer, or running your sound direct to your amplifier.

Add to this Clavia's famous "Pitch Stick" and a modulation wheel and you have the means for some very musical expression.

Amp Simulation

The effects section also includes an amplifier emulation unit which creates the famous sounds of a Fender Twin Reverb, a Roland Jazz Chorus or a Rhodes Suitcase amplifier. You can also set the drive of the amps creating the sound of an overdriven amplifier. The drive knob works like a normal overdrive effect when no amp model is selected.

There is also a Rotary Speaker emulation, that not only brings a much-needed feature to a live organ performance, but can be used with any of the electric or acoustic piano sounds as well as the synthesizer unit.

Organ

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. The up[ down buttons also function as auxiliary presets.

Organ effects: Swell (the characteristic B-3 volume pedal function) - Percussion (2nd, 3rd, normal/soft, fast/slow). Chorus/Vibrato (C1, C2, C3/V1, V2, V3).

Accessories

The Nord Stage 88 and 76 key models can be delivered with classic piano legs reminiscent of a classic Rhodes piano. The legs are very easy to assemble and disassemble for transport. The legs are optional and sold separately.

An easily attachable music stand is also available for the 88/76 models. (Revision B models only)

Free Upgrades

Pianos come in many varieties, and while a Steinway sounds great, it might not be the sound you need at the moment. Clavia will constantly offer a number of various sounds that you can download free of charge from www.clavia.com. Use the Nord Stage's USB port and sample-dump software to swap sounds quickly from your Mac or PC. A padded custom gig bag will also be available.

Protection

And while you consider the wealth of possibilities of this truely great musical instrument, remember that we also carry a full line of road cases, including the ATA 300 rated "Top Of The Line".
