Nord's primary stage piano in recent years has been the Nord Stage 2. The Nord Stage 2 EX updates all features of the Stage 2, retaining all of the timeless attributes that has made it one of the most popular stage pianos available. A full gigabyte of memory bolsters the already muscular Nord Piano Library, resulting in broader, deeper, richer sound. Additionally, several new piano voicings have been introduced for you to audition. One of them may suit your performance perfectly.This is the 76-key version of the Nord Stage 2 EX, equipped with Nord's new ultra lightweight Hammer Action Portable keybed. The EX 2 HP76 keybed uses amazingly portable weighted hammer action piano keys, limiting the weight of the Nord Stage 2 EX HP76 to only 12,4 kg (27,3 lbs). Key range E-G.The new Factory Bank features 5 Grand Pianos, 7 Upright Pianos, 11 Electric Pianos, Clavinet, Harpsichords and a vastly improved Nord Sample Library selection including great new Strings, Choir and Folk instruments. Of course the piano, organ and synth sounds that garnered all of the tech awards over the past several years are retained and worked into the newly developed interface. For the professional, the working musician, the person who insists on great sound and impeccable performance, the Nord Stage 2 EX should be on your short list of keyboard options.Piano Section1 GB memory for the Nord Piano LibraryState-of-the art sample-based Acoustic and Electric PianosAdvanced String Resonance (Gen 2)Long Release optionDynamic Pedal Noise via optional Nord Triple PedalSynth Section380 MB for the Nord Sample LibraryPowerful Classic analog, FM and Wavetable synthesisArpeggiatorUnison modeMaster ClockOrgan SectionB3 Tone-Wheel simulationRotary Speaker simulationFaithful simulations of classic Vox and Farfisa organsDigital LED Drawbars for easy overview of active drawbar settings.Global featuresComprehensive Effects sectionSingle-function control knobs and instant visibility of current settingsExternal section allowing the Nord Stage 2 EX to serve as a master keyboardExpanded Live Mode with 5 locationsUSB-MIDI.
