The Hammond B3 section:
The Hammond B3 changed all genres of music since the 1950s: from soul, R&B over Jazz, Easy Listening to contemporary pop music. Very often, samples of these sounds are used in digital keyboard instruments. But this obviously limits the real-time changeability of the sound. The Nord Stage has a mimicry based on virtual modelling, allowing every aspect of the Hammond B3 to be modified and recreated in real-time. Of course, there are the drawbars (the "pull bars") for each foot size, the typical scanner vibrato and chorus, the percussion, the overdrive caused by the tube amplifiers and the click sound of the keys. But the "Leslie effect" (the speaker box with rotating horn and drum that creates the typical slow/fast vibrato sound using the doppler effect) is not missing either. Nord has one of the best imitations of the Leslie effect available today.
The Synthesiser section:
In the 1990s, Nord developed the very popular "Nord Wave" synthesiser. At that time, the analogue synthesiser was making a revival after a period of digitalisation in the 1980s. Nord used virtual modelling to create a successful "virtual analog" copy of the typical analog synthesiser sounds of the 1970s. A slimmed-down version of the Nord Wave was also co-integrated into the Nord Stage. The current Nord Stage 4 even integrates a full engine from the Nord Wave 2. It makes the instrument a top synthesiser, incorporating the main capabilities of any analogue synthesiser.
De Hammond B3 veranderde sinds de jaren 50 alle muziekgenres : van soul, R&B over Jazz, Easy Listening tot de hedendaagse popmuziek. Heel vaak worden in digitale toetseninstrumenten samples van deze geluiden gebruikt. Maar dit beperkt uiteraard de real-time veranderbaarheid van het geluid. De Nord Stage heeft een nabootsing gebaseerd op virtual modelling, waardoor elk aspect van de Hammond B3 in real-time kan worden aangepast en nagebootst. Uiteraard zijn er de drawbars (de “trekstaven”) voor elke voetmaat, de typische scanner vibrato en chorus, de percussie, de overdrive die de tube-amplifiers veroorzaakten en het click geluid van de toetsen. Maar oo

k het “Leslie effect” (de speakerbox met ronddraaiende hoorn en trommel die het typische slow/fast vibratogeluid creëert gebruik makend van het doppler effect) ontbreekt niet. Nord heeft hier één van de beste imitaties van het Leslie effect die er op vandaag beschikbaar zijn.
De Synthesizer sectie:
In de jaren 90 ontwikkelde Nord de zeer populaire “Nord Wave” synthesizer. In die periode maakte de analoge synthesizer een revival na een periode van digitalisering in de jaren 80. Nord maakte via virtual modelling een geslaagde “virtual analog” kopie van de typische analoge synthesizergeluiden van de jaren 70. Een afgeslankte versie van de Nord Wave werd ook mee in de Nord Stage geïntegreerd. In de huidige Nord Stage 4 is er zelfs een volledige engine van de Nord Wave 2 geïntegreerd. Het maakt van het instrument een top synthesizer, die de voornaamste mogelijkheden van elke analoge synthesizer in zich heeft.
