Nord Wave - Synthesiser Keyboard
Scan code: LN45751
Manufacturer code: Nord Wave synthesizer
End Of Life
Product Overview
The Nord Wave gives you traditional analog sounds that interact and coexist with pretty much anything you want; by combining analog, FM synthesis, wavetable and sampled waveforms - you can use literally any standard audio file as a sound source. It is a great sample player and analog synthesizer, and so much more!
Features
Digital samples in an analog enviroment
The sound of a resonant filter with a 24 dB slope applied to a sampled sound brings it so much to life that some times this is all you need, but there are many other parameters available to affect your samples. All elements of an analog synthesizer can be incorporated: amplifier and modulation envelopes, LFOs, filters, and effects.
Oscillator Modulation
Oscillator 1 uses two types of oscillator modulation to bring out different characteristics to a blended sound: Phase Modulation and Frequency Modulation. Disparate sounds can be achieved depending on the combination of waveforms generated by the two oscillators – using oscillator modulation, particular characteristics of those waveforms can be seamlessly blended and enhanced to make a new kind of sound.
User Friendly Technology
By storing sample data in a Flash memory, existing samples can be easily and quickly replaced, including the factory preset samples. Flash memory also means that samples are instantly available, meaning fast load times even for complex programs. No hard drive or other type of media is needed for storing samples when you shut down the Wave; once the unit has powered up you have direct access to all the samples at the turn of a knob.
Two Synths In One
Using the Slot function, you can seamlessly switch between two sounds without cutting off any sustaining notes, or you can layer two sounds together to create a massive sound palette. Everything is easily controlled by the Slot A & B buttons conveniently located near the pitch stick, mod wheel, and octave-switching buttons, making them as much performance controllers as programming features.
