Presentation
The Nord Stage 4 Compact 73 features an advanced keyboard with triple-sensor hammer action, guaranteeing unprecedented responsiveness, ideal for live performances.
The panel's redesigned design allows fluid management of the different sound layers thanks to individual LED faders, making it easy to manipulate in real time.
What's more, Stage 4 offers an updated library of presets, allowing you to quickly navigate between sophisticated piano, synth and organ sounds for an enriched musical experience.
When it comes to synthesizers, the Nord Stage 4 Compact 73 features the Nord Wave 2 synthesis engine, offering expanded possibilities with 3 independent synth layers. Double the sample memory and enhancements such as Tru-Vibrato and Unison expand your sound palette.
The advanced Arpeggiator and Extern mode for MIDI control give you real-time control over your performances, while the effects section, now equipped with new effects such as Pump and Spin, further enriches your sonic creativity.
The Nord Stage 4 Compact 73 organ features award-winning B3, Vox/Farfisa and pipe organ simulations, with physical drawbars and LED indicators for intuitive operation. Enhancements to the Model 122 vintage rotary speaker simulation, including mic position options, add extra depth and richness to the performance.
This keyboard is designed to offer maximum flexibility and an immersive musical experience.
Users can also integrate their own samples using the Nord Sample Editor, making each performance unique.
