The Nord Lead 2X has the same characteristic sound and functions
as the Nord Lead 2, except for some very nice improvements:
X-tra polyphony: The Nord Lead 2X comes with 20 voices polyphony
- very useful when creating layered sounds, "power pads",
awesome leads and booming basses. 20 voices are also very beneficial
in sequencing situations when you use more than one sound at a time.
X-tra memory: The Nord Lead 2X comes with a large internal memory
holding 4 x 99 user Programs, 100 user Performances and 4 x 10 user
Percussion Kits plus 6 x 99 factory Programs and 3 x 100 factory
Performances! The Nord Lead 2X is 100% patch compatible with the
Nord Lead 2 which means that you can transfer sounds directly between
the models via MIDI.
X-tra high resolution: The awesome sound in the Nord Lead 2X is
refined even further thanks to the brand new, crystal clear 24-bit
DACs running at 96kHz.
Concept
Too often, our choices as players require compromise. We do our
homework, make phone calls, and scour the Internet seeking advice
on the perfect stage piano, yet at every turn, we're forced to give
up some benefit and choose between the lesser of compromises. You
like this one, but the action is too stiff; another one feels right,
but the sounds are thin and weak; another still sounds great, but
of all its features you'll only use a few; yet another one feels
and sounds right, but weighs as much as your car. Friends, players,
hired guns: the search is over.
Introducing the Nord Stage 88, the culmination of Clavia's award-winning
technology and design in a full-range weighted-action stage piano.
Featuring the best of Clavia's technologies, the Stage 88 is designed
with practical benefits for real-world pianists. Of course, style
factors in as much as substance - what would a Nord keyboard be
if not bright red?
The organ in the Electro 2 is based on a digital simulation of the
mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers a number of very
innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound. The piano section
comprises several carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments.
As a bonus we also included an acoustic grand piano (concert model).
The Electro 2 also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download
of new piano sounds.
The Electro 2 also features a very flexible effects section including
a Rotary Speaker simulation out of the ordinary. Nord Electro 2
is available in three versions: the 5 octave Nord Electro 2 SixtyOne,
the 6 octave Nord Electro 2 SeventyThree and the 19" rack version
Nord Electro Rack 2. Both keyboard versions feature exclusive semiweighted
waterfall keyboards and weigh less than 10 kgs each!
With the Nord Lead 3 Clavia takes Virtual Analog to the next level
and introduces the Advanced Subtractive Performance Synthesizer.
‘Advanced Subtractive’ because of the extremely flexible sound engine,
featuring a combination of traditional shapable waveforms and a
very intuitive 2 or 4 operator FM engine. All this can be routed
through the top quality multi filter for further shaping. 'Performance
Synthesizer' because of its unsurpassed user interface and play
control functions such as keyboard hold, parallel polyphonic glide
in legato mode, single-key triggering of whole chords and even clusters
of slightly detuned voices for super-unison effects.
A very important thing for creativity is to always have total control
of the parameter settings. The solution is to use high-resolution
rotary encoders combined with circular LED graphs for each knob.
The LED graphs around the knobs guarantee that you always have total
and instant control over your sound! To put it simple: what you
see is what you hear.
The synthesizer is available as a 4 octave keyboard model with Velocity
and Aftertouch, the Nord Lead 3, and as rack version, the Nord Rack
3.
