Nord Piano 5

 

Clavia has announced the Nord Piano 5, a new version of its pianist-centric stage keyboard.

 

Nord Piano 5 offers dual piano and synth engines, and double the sample storage.

 

Nord Piano 5 looks the same as its predecessor – it is red color but, some notable tweaks have been made including dual independent piano and synth layers, which can be used in a variety of split and layer configurations, and twice the sample memory for both the piano and synth sections.

 

The Nord Piano 5 Effect section includes Tremolo, Phaser, Chorus, Pan, Wah, RM, Flanger, Vibe, EQ, Delay and Reverb. A couple of tweaks have been made to the effects section, too, and the synth gets a Unison mode for ensemble-style sounds.

 

In addition, Nord Piano 5 also comes in a new 73-note model with triple sensor keyboard and grand weighted action. This joins the 88-note version, which includes a keyboard of the same specifications.

 

The Nord Piano 5 will be available in the spring and price at $2,999. Find out more on Nord Keyboards website.

 

Nord WAVE 2 Synthesizer Keyboard

 

The Nord Wave 2 is akin to four synths in one. And when you look at the specifications, it is one of the most versatile synth as Clavia has include all kinds of things into its latest red keyboard.

 

The Nord Wave 2 comes with a 61-note after-touch keyboard, with performance features including an arpeggiator, a gate for rhythmic effects, and morphing facilities. There is also a Unison mode for super fat sounds.

 

The Wave 2 is a 4-part synth with dedicated volume/pan faders for each part. You can use sample-based, virtual analogue, wavetable and FM synthesis, and you get 48 notes of polyphony. There are OLED displays for both the Program and Oscillator sections, plus 1GB of memory that can be filled up with sounds from the Nord Sample Library 3.0.

 

Modulation options include an LFO with five waveforms, flexible syncing and routing and an AD/AR envelope, and there is also an ADSR amp envelope. You can choose from six filter types – this section also has its own ADSR envelope – while effects include a modulation FX suite, EQ and drive, delay and reverb.

 

The Wave 2 is perfect for the stage and studio.

 

The Nord Wave 2 is expected to be available in March.
