Nord Wave Synthesizer / Sampler

£1,721.00

Nord Wave Synthesizer / Sampler

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The introduction of sample players in the mid eighties created a gap in the world of synthesizers - a gap that twenty years later only has grown wider. The Nord Wave closes that gap and brings the user replaceable samples to life again by integrating them in a virtual analog environment. Does the better of two worlds sound too pretentious for you? Wait until you have heard the Wave.WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT?By having two oscillators capable of producing a vast array of sounds from classic analog waveforms (with sync) FM synthesis wavetables sampled waves (single cycle waveforms with attack) as well as noise and other miscellaneous waveforms the Nord Wave has an unprecedented pallet of sounds for you to use as foundation. Need a rich and full string quartet? No problem just call up a string sample. Want a highly resonant screaming lead? Sure; virtual analog is there but why not combine them not just mix them together? With the Wave you can create an analog lead with the harmonic content of the sampled string quartet! With oscillator modulation you can transfer the character of one sound to the other - for instance a sampled string to an analog square. By controlling the amount of modulation the effect can range from very subtle to extremely aggressive so that the original waveforms are no longer recognizable. Within moments you will experience sounds never heard before sounds that will function as a great source of inspiration and lift the joy of playing and sound design to new levels.DIGITAL SAMPLES IN AN ANALOG ENVIRONMENTThe sound of a resonant filter with a 24 d B slope applied to a sampled sound brings it so much to life that some times this is all you need but there are many other parameters available to affect your samples. All elements of an analog synthesizer can be incorporated: amplifier and modulation envelopes LFOs filters and effects. Some convenient sample modifications are also available. By using alternative start points you can skip the attack portion of the sample and only use the body of the sound for e.g. modulation purposes.OSCILLATOR MODULATIONOscillator 1 uses two types of oscillator modulation to bring out different characteristics to a blended sound: Phase Modulation and Frequency Modulation. Disparate sounds can be achieved depending on the combination of waveforms generated by the two oscillators ? using oscillator modulation particular characteristics of those waveforms can be seamlessly blended and enhanced to make a new kind of sound. An analog triangle waveform will adopt much of the details of the modulating waveform and make an almost transparent synthesized effect using Phase Modulation. An analog saw waveform will still sound hard when modulated so wavetables can be used instead to create variations in tonal character. Frequency Modulation has a more dramatic effect widening the harmonic content and preserving more of the character of the original waveform.HIGH QUALITY SAMPLESTo us quality supersedes quantity. Great samples are not determined by their size in bytes but by how well their detail and character are preserved. To assure that our samples meet the highest Clavia standards we have teamed up with several sample creators ? such as Kirk Hunter Studios Precisionsound and Sonic Reality - and licensed some of the very best samples available. Clavia online offers a large number of top quality samples specially created for the Nord Wave - available free of charge.USE YOUR OWN SAMPLESThe Nord Wave offers the unprecedented power to use any audio recording as an oscillator source in a virtual analog environment. Simply import any standard audio file to the Nord Wave Manager software map it to a key and you are ready to go!EASY TO USE MANAGERThe Nord Wave Manager developed for OS X and Microsoft Windows is designed to keep things fast and simple. Back up and rearrange programs transfer Sample Instrument files or map your own audio files across the keyboard. You will appreciate the same directness as you?ll find on the Nord Wave panel in the way the Manager works. The Manager includes several features to speed up the usually tedious job of arranging and adjusting individual samples. If you have a single audio file with chromatic (or any other interval) recording of each note you will be up and running within seconds it is that fast and intuitive to use. Keeping functionality in focus it provides the visual tools needed to do the job as fast as possible without a cluttered GUI. The Nord Wave Manager will be a powerful tool to get your samples into the virtual analog environment of the Nord Wave.FILTER FLEXIBILITYHigh quality resonant filters are one of the most important ingredients when creating memorable sounds. The Nord Wave incorporates a total of six different high-quality filter types. Included with standard low- high- and band-pass filters the Wave features a multi peak filter comb filter and a format filter which creates vowel effects. Filter parameters can be... You might get the impression you are looking at a regular analog style synthesizer. Nothing could be more right - nothing could be more wrong. Based on a legacy of inventing virtual analog synths almost 15 years ago Clavia takes the new generation of lead synthesizers to the next level. The Nord Wave gives you traditional analog sounds that interact and coexist with pretty much anything you want; by combining analog FM synthesis wavetable and sampled waveforms - you can use literally any standard audio file as a sound source. It is a great sample player and analog synthesizer and so much more!Click on the link below to download an MP3 demo of the Nord Wave Synthesizer

Nord 88 Stage Piano

£1,730.00

Nord 88 Stage Piano

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Character is everything Its about time to stop playing the same lifeless and generic piano sounds that sits in your instrument for ever and ever! Every acoustic and electric piano has its own personality and so do the sounds in the Nord Piano.Personal Choice Not only can you effortlessly change the sounds and dial in the desired effect settings on the panel the Nord Piano is the worlds first stage piano that allows you to completely replace the piano sounds in the instrument. When your needs or your mood changes just download another piano from the large selection of unique sounds in the Nord Piano Library.Exchanging the piano sounds inside your Nord Piano is easy. Connect the piano to your computer using the built-in USB-interface and your choice of sound is simply a matter of preferred style. Perhaps the acoustic Grand Lady would suit your taste this morning? Or maybe one of the smaller more intimate acoustic upright pianos is a better choice? Why not fit a vintage sparkle top electric piano too and youll be ready for the jazz gig later tonight.String Resonance String Resonance is the acoustic phenomenon that occurs inside an acoustic piano or a grand piano when strings or parts of strings resonate at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played. When this functionality is turned on using the Nord Pianos acoustic pianos all notes you play will affect each other to reproduce the wonderful acoustics that occurs inside an acoustic grand or upright piano.String Resonance is also very noticeable if you use the sustain pedal with the String Resonance feature enabled. The notes that you play will have a beautiful sound quality to them when all the un-dampened strings resonate as you play sustained notes. Another thing that the String Resonance produces is a crescendo effect. If you play the same key repeatedly with the same force the sound will change over time. This is originally caused by the hammers hitting the vibrating string in various phases and creates a nice gentle fluctuation in volume and timbre in the Nord Piano.For rock and pop music when sometimes a more dry and direct sound is desired simply turn off the String Resonance. Sometimes less is more.Easy to access programs There are 120 programs in the Nord Piano. These are accessed by 24 banks with 5 programs each with convenient program buttons located right on the panel where you need them during your performance. You edit the programs by just changing the parameters on the panel and all the changes you make can be stored in any program location by using the Store button.There is also a Live Mode with 5 separate locations where every setting you change are automatically stored. This is a great feature during rehearsals when you are getting the set list ready or as a sketchpad for those great programs that are still to come. Every program can be given a name; you enter the name from the Nord Piano panel or by using the Nord Sound Manager. Along with the program name the piano model used will also be displayed in the LCD. Parameter values and menu settings will be shown when applicable.Transpose and Kbd Touch With the Transpose feature you can set a transposition value between -6 and +6 semitones directly from the panel. This setting will be saved in the programs if you want to make this an integrated part of your parameter selection. There is also global transpose setting in the system menu that can be combined with the panel transpose.The Kbd Touch feature enables you to alter the response from the keyboard. There are four curves available. These make it progressively easier for you to reach the maximum velocity from the Nord Piano keyboard. This can make a huge difference when you want that special touch on an electric piano or if you hit a bad patch of wrist fatigue during an intense show.All of the acoustic pianos in the Nord Piano Library are stereo pianos. If you use a mono amplifier or sound system sometimes it is preferable to playback the sounds in mono. This can be achieved by using the Mono feature that is directly accessed from the panel.Nord Piano Pedal The included Piano Pedal offers an unprecedented functionality with the addition of a dynamic control of the mechanical noise during operation and the ability for you as a player to use half-pedalling and release and catch techniques. When the sustain pedal is operated on an acoustic grand or upright piano many different sounds are produced by the mechanical components several of the sounds can be reproduced by the Nord Piano.When the dampers are lifted from the strings when the sustain pedal is pressed down a beautiful sizzle can be heard. When you remove the foot from the pedal the dampers are returned on to the strings which creates a different muted type of sound. Since the pedal is dynamic you can experiment with various forces in pressing and also in releasing the pedal. If you just slip your foot of the sustain pedal allowing the return spring to... The Nord Piano 88 is a professional stage piano with 88 keys designed with the performing musician in mind without compromising quality or means of expression. Acoustic electric vintage or contemporary piano sounds - its all here. And with unique features like String Resonance totally replaceable sounds from the extensive Nord Piano Library and the dynamic Nord Piano Pedal the Nord Piano delivers in every aspect.

Nord Stage 2 Series Compact Sw73

£2,575.00

Nord Stage 2 Series Compact Sw73

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The Nord Stage 2 is compatible with the Nord Sample Library and also the Nord Sample Editor software that lets you create your own sample instruments for infinite possibilities! Combined with Nord Piano Library compatibility the Nord Stage 2 is an instrument that offers huge expandability.Three Models The Stage 2 comes in three models: The Stage 2 HA88 and Stage 2 HA76 feature our new top-of-the-line fully weighted Hammer Action keyboard. The Stage 2 SW73 features a 73-note Semi Weighted Waterfall keyboard. Apart from the keyboard type and the number of accessories available all three models have identical features.The Sound Inside The Stage 2 has three sound generating sections; Piano Organ and Synthesizer all of which can be used simultaneously. Furthermore up to two sounds from each section can be combined in a single program for massive sonic flexibility.Piano Section The Stage 2 Piano section has evolved from the multi award winning Nord Piano; featuring our state-of-the-art sampling techniques the Stage 2s pianos capture the extraordinary nuances and real character of the individual source instruments. Combined with the intelligent String Resonance that reproduces the sound of the piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played and compatibility with the optional Nord Triple Pedal that adds Dynamic Pedal Noise - the result is breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed expressiveness.An all-new feature in the Nord Stage 2 is the Selectable Piano Release function. With Piano Release activated you get a slightly longer release more suitable for legato playing. This important feature reflects adjusting the damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.In addition to vivid acoustic Grand and Upright pianos the Piano section also features some of the finest most desirable vintage electric pianos. The Stage 2s piano sounds are future-proof thanks to its compatibility with the Nord Piano Library. This free online library is continuously updated with both upgraded existing pianos and all-new pianos to keep your instrument constantly renewed.Organ Section Over ten years have passed since we made our first digital model of a tone wheel organ. The Stage 2s dedicated organ section now uses our third generation B3 Organ model the same as found in our acclaimed Nord C2 Organ.Considered by many to be the most accurate emulation of the B3 ever the Stage 2s organ model is based on the analysis of the signals from each of the 91 spinning discs inside several original instruments and painstaking work on understanding exactly how all the components interact with each other. The virtual circuitry reacts not only to the settings on the panel but also during the real time performance. The Stage 2 will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the latter will produce the gentle compression effect that makes those lovely smears absolutely wonderful. There are 3 tone wheel modes that allow you to switch from a clean factory specd instrument to a worn and battered workhorse with many years of touring.We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. Alongside the organs themselves the Stage 2 features our very latest rotary speaker simulation derived from the C2. Incorporating the acoustic variations that occur as a physical rotating spreads the sound around in a room they bring the Stage 2s organs to life with remarkable realism. In terms of control "Draw buttons" and LED bar graphs have replaced the original mechanical drawbars. This gives you the advantage of always having the correct drawbar settings after changing preset. For Organ sounds only the Stage 2s keybed is programmed to respond at its highest trigger position resulting in authentic feel and allowing lightning fast organ techniques.Synth Section The Stage 2s powerful new synthesizer engine was built from the DNA of the Nord Wave. Capable of classic analogue synthesis three operator FM synthesis Wavetable synthesis and crucially compatibility with the Nord Sample Library. The Nord Sample Library not only give Stage 2 owners access to the huge free library of world-class sounds including the famous vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin samples previously only available to Nord Wave and Nord Electro 3 users but thanks to the included Nord Sample Editor for Mac and PC allows user-created samples to be loaded into the instrument and thus opening up a whole new creative world of sound.The Synth engine itself features classic analogue synthesis with dual saw hard sync and pulse wave modulation three-operator FM synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies Wavetable synthesis with 62 waveforms and Sample based synthesis. A new great-sounding multimode filter features 12 and 24d B low pass high pass band pass and notch filters. And with an Amp envelope... Representing a stunning new take on the famous Stage series the Nord Stage 2 is Nords flagship instrument line. Utilizing our very latest sound generation technology in the three categories of Piano Organ and Synthesizer combined with a well thought-out user friendly interface a choice of premium keybeds and an almost obsessive level of quality control the Stage 2 truly sets itself apart as an instrument for the professional performing musician.

Combined with the intelligent String Resonance that reproduces the sound of the piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played and compatibility with the optional Nord Triple Pedal that adds Dynamic Pedal Noise - the result is breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed expressiveness.An all-new feature in the Nord Stage 2 is the Selectable Piano Release function. With Piano Release activated you get a slightly longer release more suitable for legato playing. This important feature reflects adjusting the damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.In addition to vivid acoustic Grand and Upright pianos the Piano section also features some of the finest most desirable vintage electric pianos. The Stage 2s piano sounds are future-proof thanks to its compatibility with the Nord Piano Library. This free online library is continuously updated with both upgraded existing pianos and all-new pianos to keep your instrument constantly renewed.Organ Section Over ten years have passed since we made our first digital model of a tone wheel organ. The Stage 2s dedicated organ section now uses our third generation B3 Organ model the same as found in our acclaimed Nord C2 Organ.Considered by many to be the most accurate emulation of the B3 ever the Stage 2s organ model is based on the analysis of the signals from each of the 91 spinning discs inside several original instruments and painstaking work on understanding exactly how all the components interact with each other. The virtual circuitry reacts not only to the settings on the panel but also during the real time performance. The Stage 2 will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the latter will produce the gentle compression effect that makes those lovely smears absolutely wonderful. There are 3 tone wheel modes that allow you to switch from a clean factory specd instrument to a worn and battered workhorse with many years of touring.We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. Alongside the organs themselves the Stage 2 features our very latest rotary speaker simulation derived from the C2. Incorporating the acoustic variations that occur as a physical rotating spreads the sound around in a room they bring the Stage 2s organs to life with remarkable realism. In terms of control "Draw buttons" and LED bar graphs have replaced the original mechanical drawbars. This gives you the advantage of always having the correct drawbar settings after changing preset. For Organ sounds only the Stage 2s keybed is programmed to respond at its highest trigger position resulting in authentic feel and allowing lightning fast organ techniques.Synth Section The Stage 2s powerful new synthesizer engine was built from the DNA of the Nord Wave. Capable of classic analogue synthesis three operator FM synthesis Wavetable synthesis and crucially compatibility with the Nord Sample Library. The Nord Sample Library not only give Stage 2 owners access to the huge free library of world-class sounds including the famous vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin samples previously only available to Nord Wave and Nord Electro 3 users but thanks to the included Nord Sample Editor for Mac and PC allows user-created samples to be loaded into the instrument and thus opening up a whole new creative world of sound.The Synth engine itself features classic analogue synthesis with dual saw hard sync and pulse wave modulation three-operator FM synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies Wavetable synthesis with 62 waveforms and Sample based synthesis. A new great-sounding multimode filter features 12 and 24d B low pass high pass band pass and notch filters. And with an Amp envelope... Representing a stunning new take on the famous Stage series the Nord Stage 2 is Nords flagship instrument line. Utilizing our very latest sound generation technology in the three categories of Piano Organ and Synthesizer combined with a well thought-out user friendly interface a choice of premium keybeds and an almost obsessive level of quality control the Stage 2 truly sets itself apart as an instrument for the professional performing musician.
