General
The Stage 3 Series by Clavia Nord consists of the most comprehensive instruments this brand has to offer. If you're a live keyboardist, Nord offers everything you need at your fingertips, including excellent piano, organ, and synth sounds, and high-quality effects as well. It enables you to switch between sounds and programs in a flash, which is crucial when performing live. The Nord Stage 3 HP76 features a Hammer Action Portable keyboard which simulates the heavy action of acoustic piano keys but without all the weight! With only 76 keys, the HP76 is particularly portable.
The Stage 3 vs. The Stage 2 EX
If you want lots of big piano sounds to play with, you'll love the fact that the piano memory on the Stage 3 HP76 has been doubled (2 GB)! Load in the sounds you like using the Nord Sound Manager and take advantage of the polyphony of 120 voices. When you want to dive into organ and synth sounds, the Stage 3 has got you covered. The series makes use of the Nord A1 synth engine (including more sample memory) and the Nord C2D organ engine! Furthermore, switching between programs is a breeze thanks to the seamless transitions functionality.
For Demanding Keyboardists
A stage piano/keyboard from the Stage Series is an excellent choice for demanding keyboardists who perform live regularly and need an instrument that allows them to switch quickly and easily between piano, organ, and synth sounds. The HP76 also enables you to combine sounds, which means you can play two pianos, two organs, and two synths, including effects, at the same time! The clever control panel with bright OLED displays makes the Stage 3 models more accessible than ever before. Organsists are sure to be happy with the digital LED drawbars. In short, the Clavia Nord Stage 3 HP76 has everything you need for a life on stage and on the road!
