Classic keyboards
This 61-note keyboard delivers astounding reproductions of classic electromechanical keyboards. Back in the day, you needed a forklift to get the originals up on stage, but the Nord Electro lets you take those keyboards with you anywhere. The sounds themselves may be larger-than-life, but the Nord Electro is compact and portable, making it ideal for live performances. And behind the sounds - so authentic you'll turn a whiter shade of pale - the Nord Electro is packed with all the modern conveniences and features that you've come to expect from Nord keyboards.
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 Electro also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds in the future.
Nord Electro Features:
Organ section
- 9 electric drawbars with memory functionality
- Drawbar settings presets: 9 drawbar presets in ROM and 9 user configurable drawbar settings
- Effects: Swell (the characteristic B-3 volume pedal function) - Percussion (2nd, 3rd, normal/soft, fast/slow) - Chorus/Vibrato (C1, C2, C3/V1, V2, V3).
- Keyboard Split: Makes it possible to play an organ sound with two different drawbar settings (Lower and Upper manuals) on the internal keyboard.

 A very special keyboard
by Todd Urbonas from Seekonk, MA, July 15, 2007
Music Background: Producer
“The quality of this instrument is evident in every detail. Only sixty-one keys, yet I can express myself without compromising, and it has a different 'feel' for each keyboard it emulates. To put it as simply, this is so much fun to play I can't put it down. Inspiring, simple, powerful, and real. This is the most fun I've had in years. What a treat...”
