The new Nord Electro 4D and Electro 4 HP feature everything from the award winning Electro 3 series, adding the acclaimed new Nord C2D tone wheel engine and 122 Rotary Speaker simulation, USB MIDI and more! Main features - Nord C2D B3 tone wheel simulation NEW - Improved Key Click and Percussion NEW - 122 Rotary Speaker simulation NEW - Vox and Farfisa organ simulations - Nord Piano Library compatible - String Resonance (Gen 1) - Long Release - Nord Sample Library compatible - Powerful Effect section - 4 Live Locations/Program Banks - Extended Control Pedal Support - USB MIDI NEW - 2X Memory for Nord Sound Libraries (Electro 4 HP Only) NEW **Electro 4 vs Electro 3 Comparison Chart (PDF)** Organ Section The Nord Electro 4 features the B3 tone wheel organ engine from our flagship organ Nord C2D and includes a redesigned Key Click simulation as well as the Rotary Speaker simulation of a vintage 122 unit with a great new overdrive. The percussion model has been improved to offer increased control over the percussion levels when playing near-legato. Naturally, the vibrato and chorus scanners have been carefully modeled to be just as alive as the tone wheels. The Farfisa* and Vox* models are just as impressive as the B3, simulating the behavior and unique response of the original instruments. The Farfisa Compact Deluxe, considered by many to be the mother of transistor organs, involves routing matrixes and complex filter combinations that offer a tailored sound with massive energy and high-end. The Vox* Continental's brute design brings you a more hollow tone, but with a very intense character. Both these transistor organs have their own unique, irreplaceable personalities. Combine them with any of the Amp simulations, add some distortion, adjust the EQ and they will definitely get you through any organ gig with flying colors. The Nord Electro 4D is fitted with physical drawbars of the same type as on our flagship organ, the Nord C2D, perfect for actively shaping the sound on the fly. The Nord Electro 4 HP organ section is identical in features but sports our Digital LED Drawbars. The organ can be split, for compact dual manual action and its even possible to assign the lower manual to a second MIDI keyboard. Inputs for a Swell pedal and Rotary Speaker control are also available. Piano section Both the Nord Electro 4D and 4 HP come loaded with a selection of amazing sounds from the Nord Piano Library - our specialized library for Grand, Upright and Electrical Pianos, Clavinet and Harpsichords. All the sounds have been recorded using our state-of-the-art sampling techniques to capture the extraordinary nuances and unique characters of the source instruments and covers everything from brilliant, factory new Grand Pianos to detuned upright bar pianos with tons of charm. The entire Nord Piano Library is included on DVDs and new additions can be downloaded free on the Nord Piano Library page. Replacing the sounds is simply a matter of dragging and dropping files in the Nord Sound Manager for Mac and Windows. The Long Release feature is suitable for legato playing styles and the String Resonance (Gen 1) feature on Grand and Upright Pianos can be turned off when desired. 185 MB of the Electro 4D memory is dedicated to Nord Piano Library sounds. 20. Nord Electro 4 HP features **380 MB** of memory for the Nord Piano Library 21. Nord Electro 4 HP also features 4 selectable dynamic response curves for customizing the keyboard response to your playing style.

Mapping several samples across the keyboard or creating seamless loops has never been easier. The Electro 4D has 68 MB of memory dedicated to the Nord Sample Library. Our efficient, lossless compression algorithm makes it's possible for us to fit samples up to three times the size compared to standard linear sample players. 26.

Effect Section Click to enlarge The Nord Electro 4 Effect section features great, tweakable effects for instantly adding some dirt, glimmer or atmosphere to your sound.

Perfect for electric and acoustic piano sounds, although the High Trigger-point mode even works great for organ playing. Key range (E-E). **Semi Weighted Waterfall (SW)** This keybed type uses semi weighted organ type keys with a rounded "waterfall" tip, brilliant for rapid organ shredding and synthesizer licks, but also plays nice with piano sounds.
