Description
<h1 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> is a <em>Stage Keyboard</em> that offers musicians the most characteristic sounds of classic and <em>Vintage</em> keyboards, structured into 3 independent sections: <strong>Organ, Piano; Sample/Synth</strong>, with <em><strong>seamless</strong></em> sound selection, meaning without interruption, and a new user interface. It's a compact, lightweight, easy-to-use, and extremely versatile instrument.</h1><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Watch the video to hear the most significant sounds and features of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SMYkm7C2NtY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><h2><strong>The Organ section of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p>The <strong>ORGAN</strong> section of <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> uses the refined proprietary <strong>NORD</strong> physical modeling technology to reproduce various types of this instrument, such as a classic electromagnetic “<strong>B3</strong>”, the unmistakable 60s Vintage Transistor organs, and various pipe organ stops; the typical <strong>Rotary Speaker Vintage Mod. 122</strong> has also been implemented.</p><ul> <li> <h3><strong>B3 <em>Tonewheel</em> Simulation</strong></h3> </li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">The physical modeling sound generation system extremely realistically simulates the legendary electromagnetic <strong>B3</strong> organ. The model allows for 4 different adjustments of the <em>virtual</em> tonewheels, to achieve, depending on the needs, a <em>cleaner</em> overall sound typical of a factory-new instrument, or a more “dirty” and “hoarse” sound of an organ with years of grueling tours behind it. The characteristic sound of the B3 Pedal is also accurately simulated, usable in Split with the upper manual in <strong>Dual Organ</strong> mode, but also with the Piano or Synth section.</p><ul> <li> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Classic Transistor Organs</strong></h3> </li></ul><p>This section also includes faithful emulation of classic 1960s transistor organs: <strong>Vox Continental</strong>, and <strong>Farfisa Compact</strong>, with their most characteristic tonal settings.</p><ul> <li> <h3><strong>Pipe Organ</strong></h3> </li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">Two different pipe organ models are available; <strong>Pipe 1</strong> offers a rather pure timbre (<em>Diapason</em>), with few harmonics, suitable for harmonic support functions. <strong>Pipe 2</strong> reproduces the sound of the "<em>Principale</em>" (metal pipes), the organ stop that forms the true backbone of this instrument; it also features the <strong>Detune Mode</strong>, which introduces beats between the pipes, typical of stops like the "<strong>Vox Humana</strong>", activated via the Vibrato/Chorus buttons.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vintage Rotary Speaker</strong></h3><p><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/rotary2-180x232_b061.jpg" /></p><p><strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> faithfully reproduces the <strong>Rotary Speaker Vintage Mod. 122</strong>, which adds the typical character of this amplifier, essential for any organ performance, with typical controls: <em>Slow, Fast, Stop, and Drive</em>. <strong>Electro 6D 61 and HP</strong> are compatible with the optional Nord accessory: <strong>Half-Moon Switch</strong> which exactly reproduces the original control. The <em>Slow/Fast</em> speed switching is naturally also foot-controllable.</p><h2><strong>Dual Organ Mode</strong></h2><p><strong>Dual Organ</strong> simulates a dual-manual organ, with two different drawbar settings on the UPPER/LOWER keyboard zones.</p><h2><strong>Physical Drawbars for Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p><strong>Electro 6 HP</strong> is equipped with physical <strong>Drawbars</strong> on the panel, typical controls of the <strong>Tonewheel</strong> organ that offer the same tactile experience as the original instruments, a fundamental characteristic for all purists and enthusiasts.</p><p><img alt="NORD Electro 6 gives the performing musician access to the most used classic and vintage keyboard sounds: Organ, Piano, Sample/Synth" src="/images/uploads//Nord_Electro_1200x630_17.jpg" title="NORD Electro 6 gives the performing musician access to the most used classic and vintage keyboard sounds: Organ, Piano, Sample/Synth" /></p><h2><strong>The Piano section of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><h2><img alt="" src="/img/media/images/html/pianolib-logo-new-112x112_14d2.png" /></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The entire variety of acoustic, electric, and digital pianos of <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong>, with their unmistakable tonal character, are selected from the <strong>NORD Piano Library</strong>. In this section, the polyphonic articulation has been expanded, the new LAYER category introduced, and <strong>Piano Filters</strong> added for even more refined dynamic control over the sound.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>NORD Electro 6 HP Factory Bank</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">It includes a carefully selected range of the most recent pianos, <strong>Grands, Uprights, Electric Pianos</strong> and <strong>Digital Pianos</strong> taken from the exclusive <strong>NORD Piano Library</strong>, all instruments with an unmistakable character. Furthermore, the piano section now also houses the new <strong>LAYER</strong> category, consisting of layered sounds of a modern, very dynamic and effective cut.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The piano sounds of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To create its piano sounds, <strong>NORD</strong> uses sophisticated sampling techniques to capture all the nuances and tonal character of the original instruments. To further increase the level of realism in the simulation, <em>Advanced String Resonance</em> has also been introduced, which reproduces the complex interaction that occurs in the string bed of an acoustic piano when the <em>Damper</em> pedal is released.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>NORD Electro 6 HP Configuration</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">All <strong>Factory Bank</strong> sounds can be easily replaced with others from the <strong>NORD Piano Library</strong> according to individual needs or taste; this extremely useful free musical resource is constantly updated by <strong>NORD</strong>, with exclusive timbres of unique character. The management of the internal database is possible thanks to the <strong>NORD Sound Manager</strong>, a free software that allows you to configure <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP D</strong> according to individual artistic needs.</p><ul> <li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Piano Filters - </strong>Dedicated filters for piano timbres provide additional tonal and dynamic control, allowing you to obtain softer or more incisive sounds from the same sound, controlled by keyboard <em>velocity</em>.</li> <li><strong>Soft Release - </strong>Adds a slightly longer release to the sound, which facilitates “Legato” playing, thus simulating the diversity of damper tension in an acoustic or electromechanical instrument.</li> <li><strong>Dynamic curves - </strong>Four different dynamic curves can be recalled, with different degrees of hardness, to adapt the instrument to the personal playing style and technique.</li></ul><p><img alt="The full range of pianos in NORD Electro 6D 73, acoustic, electric, digital, with an unmistakable tonal character, are selected from the NORD Piano Library" src="/images/uploads//Nord_Electro_1200x630_08.jpg" style="text-align: center; font-size: 13px;" title="The full range of pianos in NORD Electro 6D 73, acoustic, electric, digital, with an unmistakable tonal character, are selected from the NORD Piano Library" /></p><h2><strong>The Sample Synth Section of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">This section is as useful and efficient as it is simple to use, with a significant increase in memory for Samples and polyphonic articulation. <strong>SAMPLE/SYNTH</strong> provides <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> with a series of <em>auxiliary</em> sounds of fundamental importance in a Stage Keyboard. This also comes with a wide tonal selection from the <strong>NORD Sample Library 3.0</strong>, including many <em>vintage</em> sounds such as the <em>Mellotron</em> and the <em>Chamberlin</em>, and is equipped with essential controls for synthesis such as: <strong>attack, decay/release, dynamics (filter/velocity)</strong>; and can naturally be configured not only with NORD sounds, but also with personal Samples, via the <strong>NORD Sample Editor</strong>, another free (Win/Mac) application that is very useful and easy to use.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img alt="The direct access parameters of the Sample/Synth section of NORD Electro 6D 73" src="/img/media/images/html/NE6D-Sample-Section_eacf.jpg" title="The direct access parameters of the Sample/Synth section of NORD Electro 6D 73" /></strong></p><h2><strong>The Effects Section of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p>The Effects of <strong style="font-size: 13px;">NORD Electro 6 HP</strong><span style="font-size: 13px;"> are all stereo and high quality, created by physical modeling using </span><em style="font-size: 13px;"><strong>Stomp Box</strong></em><span style="font-size: 13px;"> or classic effects as models; as is traditional for NORD, they can be assigned to sections and modified directly from the panel.</span></p><p><img alt="On NORD Electro 6D 73, activation and editing of effects happens directly from the panel instantaneously" src="/images/uploads//NE6D-Effect-Section_800.jpg" title="On NORD Electro 6D 73, activation and editing of effects happens directly from the panel instantaneously" /></p><ul> <li><strong>EFFECT 1:</strong> You can choose between: Tremolo, 2 Wahs, an Auto-Wah, and AutoPan. Typical effects to use on Clavinet or electric piano sounds. A Ring Modulator is also present, suitable for more experimental sounds.</li> <li><strong>EFFECT 2</strong>: 2 Phasers, 2 Chorus, Flanger, and Vibe, modeled on the most classic analog Stomp Boxes. Stomp Boxes are typical pedal effects, usually used by guitarists.</li> <li><strong>SPKR/COMP</strong>: simulation of famous amplifiers and cabinets: JC, Twin & Small with Drive control, with separate Tube Drive and Compressor. <ul> <li><strong>EQ: </strong>3-band Equalizer with selectable Mids.

This is an extremely useful feature in all operational situations, eliminating annoying <em>gaps</em> when switching between sounds.</p><h2><strong>Layer/Split Mode</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The 3 sections: Organ, Piano, and Sample/Synth, are independent and can be used simultaneously in <strong>LAYER</strong> or <strong>SPLIT</strong> (with the keyboard divided into two zones). The instrument has 6 Split points with: <em><strong>Split Point Crossfade</strong></em>, which allows for a gradual transition between sounds assigned to two Split zones. You can choose from 3 different Crossfade widths: Small, Large, and Off, appropriately indicated by different LED colors.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Programs of NORD Electro 6 HP</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The central area of <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> manages important instrument functions such as saving, organizing, and selecting sounds, with the <strong>ORGANIZE</strong> mode, and Copy/Paste and Move functions, to quickly arrange PROGRAMS in the desired order. The <strong>PAGE VIEW</strong> easily sorts and organizes pages as a song list. All sound resources such as Programs, Piano, and Synth Samples can be quickly selected with the <strong>LIST VIEW</strong> which allows for various sorting and viewing systems: alphabetical, numerical, by category.</p><h2><strong>The NORD Music Stand V2</strong></h2><p>On <strong>NORD Electro 6 HP</strong>, the NORD Music Stand V2 can be used, made of robust aluminum, capable of holding up to 4 sheets of music.</p><p><img alt="On NORD Electro 6D 73, the NORD Music Stand V2 can be used, made of robust aluminum, capable of holding up to 4 sheets of music." src="/img/media/images/html/Music-Stand-V2_2cae.png" title="On NORD Electro 6D 73, the NORD Music Stand V2 can be used, made of robust aluminum, capable of holding up to 4 sheets of music." /></p><h2><strong>KEYBOARDS AND AVAILABLE MODELS</strong></h2><p>The keyboards are supplied by the Italian company <strong>FATAR</strong>, a leader in the sector, carefully calibrated at the factory to ensure a uniform response throughout their range.</p><p><strong>Hammer Action Portable (HP) - NORD Electro 6 HP</strong> uses an HP keyboard with “Weighted Hammer Action” keys, ideal for acoustic and electric piano sounds.
