NORD Electro 4 SW73 73-Key (6 Octaves/F-F) Velocity Sensitive Semi Weighted Waterfall Keyboard with Digital LED Drawbars

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.

• Three classic organ models: B3, Vox Continental and Farfisa with full polyphony
• B3 Tone Wheel Organ engine from NORD C2D Combo Organ
• Two complete organ registrations for every program
• Percussion with 2nd, 3rd, normal/soft, fast/slow for the B3 model
• User adjustable percussion levels, percussion decays and key click level
• Vibrato / Chorus Control with separate functionality for each model (the classic C1, C2, C3, V1, V2, V3 options for the B3, Vibrato for the Farfisa)
• 4 Tonewheel modes: select the level of "vintage" desired
• MIDI Split: By connecting an extra MIDI keyboard the NORD Electro 4 can be used as a dual manual (Lower/Upper) organ with different drawbar settings for each manual
• NORD Electro 4 SW73: Digital LED drawbars

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 4 SW73 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
The NORD Electro 4 comes 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 Keybeds
Each Fatar keybed is meticulously calibrated at the NORD factory to ensure an even response over the whole range.

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.
Key range F-F on Electro 4 SW73.
