Nord Electro 7 HP

The Nord Electro 7 elevates the Electro series with a powerful new Synth Section, dedicated per-section effects and a refined panel design with a high-resolution color display. Combining our latest piano features with the Organ and Rotary Speaker from the acclaimed Nord Organ 3, the Nord Electro 7 offers exceptional versatility in a lightweight, stage-ready instrument.

FEATURES

• New Panel design and new large color display

• Physical Drawbars on all models

• Pitch Stick and Modulation Wheel on 73 and HP models

• New 73-key Kawai Triple Sensor Hammer Action keybed

• Expression Pedal Assign, enabling pedal control of Synth Filter and effect parameters

New HP model with Kawai Hammer Action
The Electro 7 HP model introduces a new lightweight triple sensor keybed developed in collaboration with Kawai. Carefully balanced for playability and portability, the new Kawai keybed delivers excellent responsiveness for acoustic and electric pianos.

Organ Section
The Organ Section is based on the Nord Organ 3 engine and features stunning recreations of classic tonewheel, transistor, and pipe organs as well as the latest generation of our acclaimed Rotary Speaker emulation with multiple microphone perspectives.

• B3
  The B3 model features three different tone wheel modes ranging from the clean sound of a factory new unit to a road worn vintage character with increased tone wheel cross talk and leakage. The B3 Percussion effect includes a Poly mode, which enables polyphonic use of the Percussion even when holding chords or playing legato.

• Vox
  The iconic sound of the Vox organ has been refined even further for the Nord Electro 7, with revamped waveform shapes and filters as well as updates to both the key click and vibrato character.

• Farfisa
  The new generation Farfisa model conveys the character of the original tone generators and filters with great precision, including the complex filter interactions when combining registers.

• Soft B3 and Pipe
  The Soft B3 model is based on the B3 tone wheel organ, but without the key click and other artifacts, for a softer and more mellow sound. The Pipe model faithfully recreates a set of principal pipe organ ranks.

• Vibrato and Chorus Scanner
  The new vibrato and chorus captures the unique qualities of the original instruments, offering either the gentle character of a '50s B3 chorus scanner or the deep modulation of a '70s instrument.

• Rotary Speaker emulation
  With a brand new approach to recreating not only the classic rotary sound, but also the characteristics of both the amp and speakers, the Nord Electro 7 features the exceptional Rotary Speaker emulation from the Nord Organ 3.

• Microphone perspectives
  The Nord Electro 7 offers three microphone positioning options corresponding to popular ways of reproducing the classic rotary speaker sound, both on stage and in the studio. These variations in microphone placement affect both the perceived movement as well as the tonal character of the rotary speaker, ranging from punchy and present to smooth and open.

Piano Section
The Nord Electro 7 contains a large selection of Grands, Uprights and Electric Pianos from the exclusive Nord Piano Library along with new features such as Dynamic Compression, Unison and Timbre.
