Electro 2
The Electro 2 concept
There are a number of very unique electric keyboard instruments that have always been a vital component in music over the years. Instruments that have a distinct sound and a soul of their own. Remember that great organ sound in Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', or the wonderful electric piano in Supertramp's 'The Logical Song', or the Clavinet sound in Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'? The list could go on forever. These types of keyboards have inspired generations of musicians and continue to gain new admirers every day. They certainly also inspired us here at Clavia and therefore we decided to create the ultimate "electromechanical" stage keyboard.
The organ section of the Nord Electro 2 is based on a digital implementation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example: A complex digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner; Simulation of the individual random contact bounces for each partial; Simulation of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the "body" of the B-3 sound.
In the other section of the Electro 2 you will find a selection of electromechanical pianos. All piano instruments are built up by a vast number of multi-samples to catch every nuance from soft to hard hits. The Nord Electro 2 comes with several legendary electric piano sounds stored in a large Flash memory. By using Flash memory you will be able to download and/or replace piano sounds with new ones via the built-in USB interface.
With the Electro 2 you simply get the perfect combination of heavy sounds and light weight. Clavia proudly invites you to check out the new legend among musical instruments - the Nord Electro 2 Virtual Electromechanical stage keyboard.
