This beautiful Nord has been lovingly refurbished inside and out by a local expert. It cost me nearly 300 but it was worth it.I’ve decided to sell because I run a Professional recording studio in oxford, and need to replace this keyboard with one which is a bit simpler and user friendly for the less tech savvy musicians we have in 🙂 it’s in brilliant condition and comes with: pedal, the Nord carry case and a hard flight case for longer journeys. Please get in touch for more information. Below please find a detailed description of what it can do.Featuring the best of Clavias award-winning technologies. Organ, Piano and Synth – All in one package.The Stage EXs 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 Stages 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.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 EX serve as a master keyboard. Effects section adding comprehensive effects to your performance.The organ sectionThe 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.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 SectionThe Piano Section is orginized in six categories: Grand Pianos, Upright Pianos, Electric Grand, Electric Pianos, Wurlitzer, and Clavinet/Harpsichords.The acoustic pianos are also recorded with sustain pedal down. When played with the sustain pedal, the Stage EXs pianos recreate the string resonance produced by the undampened 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 for example a German grand 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 the Nord Piano Library free of charge. Use the Nord Stage EXs USB port and the Nord Sound Manager to swap sounds quickly from your Mac or PC.The synth section Classic Analog Synthesis with dual saw, hard sync, and pulse wave modulation. Three-operator FM Synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies. Wavetable Synthesis with 77 waveforms.With the Unison knob you can fatten your sound for lush pads, thick comps, and fiery leads. Weve 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.The Extern SectionThe Nord Stage EX wouldnt be a master keyboard if it couldnt control external devices with ease. The Extern Section is designed solely for this purpose, so that any MIDI-connected gear gets seamlessly integrated with the Stage EXs built-in instruments. Zones, splits and layers are handled exactly as if the external equipment was a part of the Stage EX itself. All settings are saved together with a Program so advanced setups can be immediately recalled in real-time during a performance. You can even use the Extern Section to automatically transmit Bank Select and Program Change messages to your external units.EffectsNo sound is complete without the proper use of effects. In the Nord Stage EX we incorporated all the effects required to cover musicians needs. All of the three instrument sections – Organ, Piano and Synth – can individually be routed through the Stage EXs built-in effect units.Turning the effects on and off, and controlling the routing is easily done by a touch of dedicated buttons, readily accessible at the bottom of each effects unit.Unit OneHere you can choose from Tremolo, two Wahs, an Auto-Wah, and an AutoPan. Use the AutoWah with a Clavinet for raw funk licks, create a psychedelic vibe with an Electric Piano on AutoPan, or give a Wurlitzer some body using the Tremolo. There is also a Ring Modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians.Unit TwoThe two Phasers, two Flangers, and two Choruses are modeled from the classic analog stomp boxes that define the sound of popular music. These swirling Phasers, metallic Flangers, and thick Choruses that are used by uncompromising professionals everywhere are crystal clear and faithfully simulated on the Nord Stage EX.DelayA delay unit has been included to create haunting echoes or slap back effects. The delay also supports a ping-pong mode, and the tempo is easily adjusted with the tap-tempo button. A recent update provides you with the option of two delay modes. The new Analog mode will change the pitch on any repeats if the delay time is changed for those classic “warped” sounds.Eq/Amp simulationThis effect section combines a three-band equalizer with a sophisticated amplifier and speaker cabinet modeler. Classic amplifiers and speakers, are a crucial part to make vintage Electric piano sounds come alive. We offer you the famous sounds of tube and solid state amplifiers with a Twin Reverb, a Jazz Chorus 120 and a Wurlitzer speaker cabinet model. When no Amp Model is selected, the unit provides a neutral three-band EQ and a crunchy overdrive.Rotary speakerThere is also a Rotary Speaker emulation based on the Leslie 122, which not only brings an essential character to a live organ performance, but can also be used with any of the electric or acoustic piano sounds or the synthesizer.Master effectsFinally there is also a Compressor and a Reverb, which are placed at the end of the sound chain, helping to blend your sounds more naturally together. The Reverb unit has Hall, Stage and Room spaces to create different atmospheres for your sounds, while the Compressor helps you keep the overall mix tight and under control.SOLD AS ISRead lessProduct SpecsCondition Excellent (Used)Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care.Brand NordModel Stage EX 88Finish Red
