Choose from 3 different crossfade widths (Small, Large or Off) as indicated by different LED colors.

The new streamlined Program section features a handy Organize mode including Copy/Paste and Move functionality for quickly arranging your Programs to your desired order. A new Page View lets you easily sort and organize pages as a song list.All Programs, Pianos and Synth Samples are easily navigated using the new List View that offers alphabetical, numerical and category sorting options.

Award-Winning SimulationsFeaturing award-winning Nord C2D Organ simulations of B3 Tonewheel, B3 Bass and Vintage Transistor Organs plus two Pipe Organ models. The Organ section features our acclaimed Nord C2D Organ engine including the extremely authentic B3 Tonewheel simulation with four different tone wheel settings, ranging from factory new clean to leaky old vintage. An improved dedicated Bass mode simulating the Pedal Bass Tonewheels are available for both splitting with a Piano or Synth or with a B3 Upper Manual in Dual Organ Mode.

Nord's impeccable simulations of the classic 1960’s Transistor Organs, Vox Continental and Farfisa Compact with all the classic settings, are also included in the Organ section. The Organ section now contains two different Pipe Organ models. The new Pipe 1 is a pure Organ with few harmonics. The Pipe 2, introduced with the Electro 5, is a recreation of metal pipes that commonly make up the foundations of a pipe or church organ, and now includes a special new detune mode when enabling Vibrato/Chorus.

The Nord Electro 6 has the latest generation of our vintage 122 Rotary Speaker simulation adding an essential character to a live organ performance and features Slow, Fast and Stop mode as well as a Drive control. The Electro 6D 61 and 73 support the Nord Half-moon Switch (optional accessory).

The dedicated new Dual Organ mode gives you quick access to dual manual setups and offers great overview and control of the drawbar settings for both the Lower and Upper manual. Physical Drawbars offer an ultimate hands-on experience for the dedicated organ players. The Electro 6 HP features Digital LED Drawbars, offering excellent overview over current settings.

new creativityThe Piano section has a wide variety of acoustic, electric and digital pianos from the exclusive Nord Piano Library, extended voice polyphony and creative new Piano Filters. The Nord Electro 6 factory bank contains an extensive selection of Nord's latest Grands, Uprights, Electric Pianos and Digital Pianos from the exclusive Nord Piano Library - all hand select for their unique sound. The Piano section also features a new “Layer” category with rich dynamic layered patches.

Nord’s state-of-the-art sampling techniques capture the incredible finer details and real character of the source instruments and unique ‘Advanced String Resonance’ delivers breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed level of expressiveness. The Factory Bank features a great selection from the Nord Piano Library but you can easily add or replace any of these sounds using the Nord Sound Manager. The exclusive Nord Piano Library is constantly updated with new exclusive world class sounds, and always free of charge.

Offering an additional level of sonic control, the Piano Section now comes with dedicated piano filters for accentuating softness, mid or brilliance. A Soft Release-mode adds a slightly longer release, more suitable for legato playing, emulating a looser damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument. 4 dynamic curves are also available to suit your playing style, from soft to hard.

Added characterThe powerful Effect section features a wide range of instantly tweakable high quality effects modelled after classic stomp boxes. All effects are stereo and can be assigned freely to the Organ, Piano or Synth sections. Here you can select between Tremolo, two Wahs, an Auto-Wah, and an AutoPan. Use the AutoWah with a Clavinet for raw funk licks, create a psychedelic vibe with an Electric Piano on AutoPan, or give a Wurlitzer some body using the Tremolo. There is also a Ring Modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians.

The two Phasers, two Choruses, the Flanger and a Vibe effect are modeled from the vintage analogue stomp boxes that define the sound of popular music. Features authentic JC, Twin and Small speaker simulations with adjustable Drive, plus a separate Tube Drive simulation and a Compressor. Included is a 3-band Equalizer with sweepable mid, along with a delay effect that features a Tap Tempo, Feedback and Mix (Dry/Wet), as well as controls for Ping-Pong mode and Tap Tempo. The Nord Electro 6 has three different Reverb types (Hall, Stage and Room) for adding some ambience to your sounds. All Reverb types also has a Bright mode.
