nord Stage 4 73

THE SYNTH

The synth section with its three independent layers is based on the powerful Nord Wave 2 synth engine, which includes virtual analog synthesis, samples, FM and digital waves. An extensive new collection of samples from the Nord Sample Library offers a wide sound palette of strings, basses, choirs, guitars and much more. The advanced arpeggiator features new polyphonic, gate and pattern modes and can be used for a variety of rhythmic applications with customizable patterns.
