Product Description

Now, you can have all the exclusive Nord Electro 2 piano and B-3 organ sounds in a compact 19" unit - at a very affordable price! The previously released 5 and 6 octave keyboard versions of Nord Electro and Nord Electro 2 have become huge successes. A lot of keyboard players and studio musicians like to use a master keyboard for all their synths and samplers and for those, a rack mountable instrument is probably still the best choice. The Nord Electro Rack 2 comes with all the great sounds and features of the Nord Electro 2 keyboard models - except for the key bed. The Nord Electro 2 sounds The organ in the Electro 2 is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example: A complex digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner. Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each partial. Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the ?body? of the B-3 sound. Simulation of the energy stealth on the tone wheels that results in the typical compressed sound. Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B-3 design. The piano section comprises five carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk I Stage Piano, Rhodes Mk I Suitcase Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 (with 64 filter and pickup combinations) and the custom modified Clavia Electric Grand Model G. ...

I'm strictly play piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clav, and Hammond B3 live and in studio. This is the only tool I could find that ONLY did that. I didn't need the zillion useless sounds that come with most sound modules. I couldn't be any happier. The sounds are perfect. There are new sounds on their website you can download that are even better. The effects are amazing. I love that you can have the Leslie rotary emulator on any sound. Their Rhodes 4 with tremolo, overdrive, and the Leslie effect is astonishing. If you just want classic vintage keyboard sounds then this is the machine.

What can I say, it's the Electro 2 in a rack-mount box. I used this for a while with my fancy external midi controller. Other Electro 3 players still go ga-ga over the Electro 2's clavinet sound.

Super awesome. If you're familiar with the Electro 2, it really is the same instrument sans keyboard. It will make you drip with funk.
