Product Description

Though it boasts the best of Clavia's award-winning technologies like its fellow series companions, the Nord Stage EX Compact keyboard lives up to its name as it takes up much less space on your desktop or stage setup. Thanks to smart design it is still able to host the same three instrument sections—Organ, Piano and Synth—plus an extensive effects section. You can use two sounds of each Section simultaneously—like two Organ manuals, two Synthesizers, and two Pianos—or they can be combined in any split or layered configuration to better fit your performance.News Flash: A free update from Nord brings Piano String Resonance to the Nord Stage EX! The Nord Stage EX has been updated to OS version 5.1, an important update that adds several new exciting features including Piano String Resonance. This feature, together with specifically designed new acoustic piano sounds in the Nord Piano Library, recreates the wonderful acoustic phenomenon that occurs inside the body of a piano. This happens when un-dampened strings or parts of strings may resonate at their fundamental or overtone frequencies when other strings are sounded. This feature livens up the Stage EX's already acclaimed pianos and provides a very natural impression of the original acoustic instrument. In addition, a new Piano Unison feature allows two pianos, selected in Panel A and B, to be detuned to create a nice blend with a natural unison effect or even a honky-tonk sound.New-to-the-series features in the Stage EX Keyboard The Stage EX Compact stems directly from the Nord Stage, but has gone through a major hardware change and also received a cosmetic makeover. The new features include: •Increased memory capacity for the piano samples. The EX Compact synth has twice the internal memory capacity compared to the former models, an increase from 128 to 256MB •The front panel sports a new color scheme The increased memory allows you to add more pianos from the Nord Stage P

Product Description

Stunning acoustic grand samples, classic organs, electric pianos, clavinet, synthesizers, and every effect you’re likely to want. A broad array of gorgeous classic sounds and effects that makes you glad you’re a keyboard player. One dream, one package, one amazing instrument – The Nord Stage EX. Featuring the best of Clavia’s award-winning technologies, the Nord Stage EX 73 is a compact, 73-key stage piano which hosts three different instrument sections - organ, piano and synth - plus an extensive effects section. You can use two sounds of each section simultaneously - that’s two organ manuals, two synths, and two pianos. These can be combined in any split or layered configuration you need for your performance. The Nord Stage EX is based on the classic Nord Stage, but the EX units have twice the internal memory capacity compared to the former models, an increase from 128 to 256 MB. The increased memory allows users to add more pianos from the Nord Stage Piano Library, to bring an even greater selection of these sounds to each and every performance. The Stage’s user interface is designed from a basic concept: All vital functions are represented on the front panel - easy to access, and never further away than a press of a single button. After more than 20 years of experience in designing instruments to be used by professional musicians, we know how important it is to make the technology completely transparent for the user. With the Nord Stage EX you only need to focus on your performance, which means never having to struggle with the technology. Our patented Pitch Stick and Modulation Wheel are included for maximum musical expression. A top-of-the-line weighted hammer-action keyboard makes you feel that the Stage’s sound is balancing at the tip of your fingers, completely under your control. Our efficient Morph Grouping technique is also included, allowing you to assign sound and effects parameters to one physical controller. All together, the Nord Stage EX is a musical, reliable, efficient, and roadworthy companion that delivers results, and provides the means to express your passion for playing. Choose from three models; 88, 76 or 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: • Organ section with faithful emulations of 3 Classic models. • Piano section with 6 selectable categories. • Synth section generating Subtractive, FM and Wavetable synthesis. • External section making the Nord Stage serve as a master keyboard. • Effects section adding comprehensive effects to your performance.
