Nuanced sound with expert emulation

In addition to Nord’s award-winning B-3, pipe organ, and Farfisa patches, the Stage 4 introduces a new B-3 bass mode, in addition to Model 122 Vintage Rotary Speaker modeling that includes standard and close microphone positions. Its doubled sample memory allows for more instruments to be included at even greater fidelity, with a new, enhanced collection of upright, grand, and electric pianos provided via the Nord Piano Library. The powerful Wave 2 Synth Engine plays host to sample-based, Virtual Analog, and FM synthesis modes, as well as a collection of guitars, strings, choirs, and much more that can now be implemented across three independently manageable synth layers. Plus, the already-advanced arpeggiator is outfitted with brand-new gate, polyphonic, and pattern modes to supplement your sound with highly detailed and customizable rhythmic opportunities.

Sculpt and shape your tones

A reimagined panel design is also present with the Stage 4, armed with physical drawbars and LED faders for each layer. The panel provides plenty of real-time feedback and flexibility in creating, designing, saving, and recalling patches as you need them. The triple-sensor keybed provides lifelike sensitivity with fully weighted keys, offering unparalleled expression across every instrument. New features like the dynamic compression and unison mode are accompanied by a freshly developed variation on their hallmark reverb, delay, amplifier, and modulation effects, including spring, cathedral, and booth reverb, as well as a new spin effect and space delay.

Real-time, reactive control

The Nord Stage 4 brings physical drawbars and LED indicators to its interface, facilitating reactive design of organ patches and real-time feedback as you dial in your sound. With the new Extern mode, deep and precise MIDI control allows the Stage 4 to integrate into any arrangement seamlessly. The Tru-Vibrato, Unison, and Round Robin modes have been bolstered with enhanced samples to provide even greater flexibility in cultivating and crafting your sound, with plenty of room for aftertouch.
