Nord Stage

(2005-2008) The Nord Stage combines synthesizer, organ, electromechanical and acoustic pianos into one versatile instrument. The Nord Stage won the MIPA Award for Best Stage Piano for three consecutive years, from 2006 to 2008.

Since Hans Nordelius developed the first dynamic-playback digital drum pad in 1983, Nord has remained at the forefront of sonic innovation, handcrafting every keyboard in their Stockholm-based operation while maintaining tradition through meticulous research and design. With the Stage 4, they’ve once again raised the bar on lightweight stage pianos that retain sonic scope and aural fidelity and provide unmatched nuance and control for dialing in a suite of versatile tones. From FM and Virtual Analog synthesis via the Wave 2 Synth Engine to the doubled sample memoryproviding even greater quality of their award-winning piano, organ, and EP emulations, the triple-sensor keybed feels every piece of each note. Robust effects can be assigned per layer, with new physical drawbars, LED indicators, and the advanced MIDI control of the Extern mode granting unparalleled control over the Stage 4’s impressive array of sonic sculpting options, hand-delivering keyboard pros and synthesists alike at Sweetwater an incredible sandbox of music production.
