Nord Stage Compact
73-Key Stage Piano

Clavia Nord Stage Tour

Listen and learn about the red-hot Nord Stage in our exclusive Clavia Nord Stage Piano Tour! You'll want one of these...

For the best deal on the Nord Stage Compact, see all of Kraft Music's available Nord Stage Compact Bundle Offers.

The Clavia Nord Stage Compact takes the functionality of the Nord Stage 76 and 88 pianos, but puts it in a Nord Electro 73 case for the ultimate compact and portable Stage Piano.

Clavia Nord Stage Compact at a Glance:

• Piano, organ, and synth sounds with layering capability
• Patented pitch-stick and mod wheel plus Morph Grouping for expressive playing
• Organ section with three classic models
• Six piano sound groups, meticulously sampled
• Easy-to-use synth section
• Built-in effects Piano, organ, and synth sounds with layering capability

The Stage Compact features three sound sections - the Organ, Piano, and Synth sections. The Stage Compact is 6-voice multitimbral, so six sounds can be combined into a powerful performance. You can use 2 sounds of each section at once - that's two organ manuals, two synths, and two pianos layered together! An A/B switch allows you to quickly move between two advanced setups immediately, so hunt-and-peck navigation is kept to a minimum during a performance.

Patented pitch-stick and mod wheel plus Morph Grouping for expressive playing
Clavia's patented pitch-stick and modulation wheel construction is included for maximum expression, and the unique Morph Grouping technique allows you to combine effects and sound parameters together into one physical controller. The Stage also has four outputs, giving users the opportunity to run individual sounds through different outputs - this is a great way to dominate your performance, and control your sound mix.

Organ section with three classic models
Like the Nord Electro2, the Nord Stage Compact organ section is based on full simulation of electromechanical organs. The Nord Stage Compact contains not only the famous sound of the Hammond B3, but it also adds Vox and the Farfisa organ models as well. The complex digital modeling recreates every nuance of these unique organ sounds giving you the full arsenal of Organ sounds. The Nord Stage Compact emulates the energy stealth from the tone wheels, resulting in the "compressed" sound that occurs when playing many notes simultaneously. The rotary speaker emulation is the final touch of our rich organ sounds, and is available for the pianos and the synths as well. The key-click on the Hammond organ model is now a user-defined parameter, so players have even more control over their sound.

Six piano sound groups, meticulously sampled
The Nord Stage Compact piano section is comprised of 6 different sound groups. These groups include the Mega Clavinet D6, the Wurlitzer 200A, the Rhodes Mark 1, and the custom Electric Grand model G. The Acoustic Piano Group includes the Yamaha C7 Grand Piano and an upright piano. A Miscellaneous group also exists, for any future sounds that Clavia will develop for the Nord Stage. The acoustic pianos were created using a very advanced sampling technology. The sounds are stereo multisamples, recorded at many different velocity levels. The key-release, pedal down, and pedal up sounds have also been added. The Nord Stage Compact will produce the sympathetic string resonance when each note is hit with the pedal down. This full sound was attained through the development of a completely new sampling engine, which provides the lushest, most accurate and expressive grand pianos ever made for a digital keyboard.

The piano section is very flexible, allowing the use of any of the Stage Compact's rich effects, splits, and layers, and in the future Clavia will release new piano samples that can be loaded via the Stage Compact's USB port.

Easy-to-use synth section
Clavia is world famous for synthesizer technology since the groundbreaking Nord Lead from the mid-1990s. For discriminating musicians, a subtractive synthesizer has been built into the Nord Stage Compact, creating opportunities for texturing and layering piano and organ sounds. This synth is like no other that Clavia has produced - instead of digging through parameters and sculpting your sound with a large array of knobs and encoders, the Nord Stage Compact's synth section features the essentials. A single knob moves you through various oscillators, glide and unison functions are added, as well as a low-pass filter, modulation envelope, amp envelope, vibrato, and and EQ. The synthesizer unit in the Nord Stage Compact is sonically rich, very easy to use, and has its own unique personality.

Built-in effects
The Phaser, Flanger, and Chorus effects are modeled from the classic analog stomp boxes that were popular in the 1970s. With parameter knobs for realtime adjustment of effects, all the swirling phasers, metallic flangers, and meaty chorus effects found on classic recordings are here - crystal clear and faithfully simulated. Among the modulations the Nord Stage Compact is capable of, there are the vintage Tremolo, three Wahs, and Auto-Pan. Use the Auto-Wah with a Clavinet for raw funk licks. Create a psychedelic vibe with a Rhodes on Auto-Pan. Give a Wurlitzer some body using the Tremolo. There is a Ring Modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians. From jazz, funk, prog-rock, and pop to fusion, R&B, and avant-garde, this useful effect has conjured incredibly unique tones for a generation of players. A delay unit has been included to create haunting echoes or slap back effects.

The effects section also includes an amplifier emulation unit which creates the famous sounds of a Fender Twin Reverb, a Roland Jazz Chorus or a Rhodes Suitcase amplifier. There is also a Rotary Speaker emulation, that not only brings a much-needed feature to a live organ performance, but can be used with any of the electric or acoustic piano sounds as well as the synthesizer unit.
