Nord has been at the forefront of sound innovation since Hans Nordelius created the first dynamic-playback digital drum pad in 1983. Their Stockholm-based company meticulously designs and researches each keyboard by hand to retain tradition. With the Stage 4, they have upped the standard once more for lightweight stage pianos that maintain acoustic fidelity and sonic scope while offering unparalleled control and subtlety for producing a wide range of tones. The semi-weighted waterfall triple-sensor keybed feels every note, from FM and Virtual Analog synthesis via the Wave 2 Synth Engine to the doubled sample memory offering even higher quality of their award-winning piano, organ, and EP emulations. Hand-delivering keyboard experts and synthesists alike, the advanced MIDI control of the Extern mode grants unparalleled control over the Stage 4's impressive array of sonic sculpting options. Robust effects can be assigned per layer. The new physical drawbars and LED indicators further enhance this incredible sandbox of music production.
