SYNTH SECTION

The Synth section is based on the powerful Nord Wave 2 Synth Engine, which includes Virtual Analog synthesis, Samples, FM, and Digital Waves. It also has three separate Layers for maximum flexibility.

A huge new collection of samples has been added to the Nord Sample Library. This collection features a wide variety of sounds, including guitars, basses, choirs, and much more.

The innovative Arpeggiator has been updated with additional Polyphonic, Gate, and Pattern modes, and it is applicable to a wide range of rhythmic applications thanks to its pattern customization capabilities.

For the best possible hands-on experience and overall perspective, every Stage 4 model comes included with Nord’s brand new Physical drawbars that feature LED indications.
