Clavia Nord Electro 6D 61

Seamless Transitions

The Nord Electro 6 provides automatic, seamless transitions when changing sounds or programs while playing.

Layer and Advanced Split Functionality

The panel has three independent sound sections: Organ, Piano and Sample Synth, which can be used simultaneously as layers or splits. It features 6 split points and the new Split-Point Crossfade function, introduced at level 3 for smooth transitions between two split zones. Choose from 3 different crossfade widths (Small, Large or Off), indicated by different LED colors.

Refined Program Section

The new, optimized program section includes a handy Organizer mode with copy/paste and move functions so you can quickly arrange your programs in the desired order. In a new page view you can easily sort and organize pages as playlists.

All programs, pianos and synth samples are easy to browse with the new list view, which offers alphabetical, numerical and category sorting options.

Organ Section

The Nord Electro 6 includes Clavia's award-winning Nord C2D organ simulations of B3 tonewheel, B3 bass and vintage transistor organs as well as two pipe organ models.

B3 Tonewheel

The organ section contains our celebrated Nord C2D organ engine including the extremely authentic B3 tonewheel simulation with four different tonewheel settings ranging from factory-new clean to leaky vintage. An improved dedicated bass mode that simulates pedal bass tonewheels is available either shared with a piano or synth or with a B3 upper manual in Dual Organ Mode.

Classic Transistor Organs

Our pristine simulations of the classic 1960s transistor organs, Vox Continental and Farfisa Compact with all the classic settings, are also included in the organ section.

Pipe Organs

The organ section now contains two different organ models. The new Pipe 1 is a pure organ with few overtones. The Pipe 2 introduced with the Electro 5 is a recreation of metal pipes that normally form the backbone of a pipe or church organ, and now features a special new detune mode when you enable Vibrato/Chorus.

The Nord Piano Experience

Nord's state-of-the-art sampling techniques capture the extraordinary nuances and true character of source instruments and the unique "Advanced String Resonance" delivers breathtaking realism and unmatched expressiveness.

Replaceable Sounds

The factory bank offers a large selection from the Nord Piano Library, but you can easily add or replace these sounds with the Nord Sound Manager. Our exclusive Nord Piano Library is constantly updated with new world-class sounds and is always free.

Piano Filters

The piano section provides additional tonal control and now features special piano filters to emphasize softness, mids or brilliance.

Soft Release

A Soft Release mode adds a slightly longer release that is better suited for legato playing and emulates a looser damper tension in an acoustic or electromechanical instrument.

Effect 1

Here you can choose 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 E-Piano on AutoPan or give a Wurlitzer body with the Tremolo. There's also a ring modulator on board, an effect used by many experimental and electronic musicians.

Effect 2

The two phasers, two choruses, the flanger and a vibe effect are modeled on classic analog stomp boxes that define the sound of pop music.

Amp Sim/Compressor/Rotary

Provides authentic JC-, Twin- and small-speaker simulations with adjustable drive as well as a separate tube drive simulation and a compressor.

Delay

The delay effect offers tap tempo, feedback and mix (dry/wet) as well as controls for ping-pong mode and tap tempo.

Reverb

The Nord Electro 6 features three different reverb types (Hall, Stage and Room) to give your sounds some atmosphere. All reverb types also have a Bright mode.
