The world's finest electric keyboards
Want the top electric piano sounds of a Nord Electro 73 but don't need to be saddled with another keyboard? The Electro Rack offers the sounds of classic electric pianos in a rack module; it's packed with all the modern conveniences, features, and authentic sounds that you've come to expect from Clavia and the Nord.
There are essentially two sections in the Nord Electro, an organ section and an electric piano section. The organ in Nord Electro emulates the legendary B3 perfectly, while the piano section comprises four carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk II Stage Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 and CP-80 Electric Grand.
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. In other words, 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 Electro also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds in the future.
