Product Description

Featuring the best of Clavia's award-winning technologies, the Nord Stage EX 76 keyboard hosts three different 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 series 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 keyboards have 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 Nord Stage EX 76 has text printed on the front panel upper rim to indicate the position and function of the rear panel jacks.The increased memory allows you to add more pianos from the Nord Stage Piano Library, to bring an even greater s
