NORD STAGE 88 EX Concept Featuring the best of Clavia’s award-winning technologies, the Nord Stage EX 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 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. MODELS The Nord Stage EX comes in three different models, 88, 76 and 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. The latest version - the Stage EX - boasts an internal memory which is twice the size of the previous models. This allows you to bring even more pianos to each and every performance. MAIN 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. THE ORGAN SECTION The Organ Section offers three different organs. Of course, we included our famous B3 Organ model, giving you the most accurate and pleasing B3 next to the real thing. The B3 Organ offers many innovative solutions to mimic the typical B3 sound, such as: • A true organ architecture, based on digital models of 91 tonewheels, thus always giving full polyphony and overtones with natural warmness. • A complex digital model of the original chorus & vibrato scanner. • Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each partial. • Emulation of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in preamplifier, forming the “body” of the B3 sound. • Simulation of the energy robbing on the tonewheels that results in the typical compressed B3 sound. • Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B3 design. • True B3 swell-pedal characteristics. We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s, the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. “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. THE PIANO SECTION The Piano Section includes six main sound groups: Grand Pianos, Upright Pianos, Electric Grand, Electric Pianos, Wurlitzer, and Clavinet. Our commitment to authenticity is manifest in these pianos’ subtle nuances throughout the whole dynamic range. The source instruments are recorded at multiple velocity levels, providing the most accurate and expressive pianos ever made for a digital keyboard. The key-releases were also sampled, creating the real sound of dampers returning when the keys are lifted. The Acoustic Pianos are also recorded with sustain pedal down. When played with the sustain pedal, the Stage’s pianos recreate the sympathetic string resonance produced by acoustic piano strings. This adds to the authenticity of the piano sounds by giving them natural body. The Clavinet has an equalizer of its own, which mimics the original D6 tone tabs, and also includes the four Clavinet pickup selections. Pianos come in many varieties, and while a Steinway sounds great, it might not be the sound you need at the moment. The piano section is very flexible, allowing the user to replace any piano with other sounds from Clavias library of Piano samples free of charge. Use the Nord Stage’s USB port and the Nord Stage Manager to swap sounds quickly from your Mac or PC.         THE SYNTH SECTION Don’t let the panel fool you; the Stage’s Synth Section is a wolf in sheep’s clothing – small, but with a big sound. After more than 10 years of designing synthesizers, we accepted a new challenge - designing a powerful synth with a few controls that would equal the quick and easy manipulation of the Organ and Piano sections. After all, why should you have to be an expert programmer to create lively and nuanced synth patches? Our response to that challenge is the Nord Stage’s “power mini synth”. The Synth was created on a multi-oscillator concept involving up to 9 oscillators per voice in different algorithms, all controlled from one button and one knob: • Classic Analog Synthesis with dual saw, hard sync, and pulse wave modulation. • Three-operator FM Synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies. • Wavetable Synthesis with 32 waveforms, a first for a Clavia synth. With the Unison knob you can fatten your sound for lush pads, thick comps, and fiery leads. We’ve included a 12/24 dB LowPass Filter with resonance, an Amp envelope, a Modulation envelope, an LFO, and a two band equalizer. Three different Synth banks are provided – Synth, Pad, and Bass – for the creation and storage of your own patches, and each bank holds up to 100 sound programs.
