The Nord Piano Library has been updated
with three new XLR pianos, the Concert Grand 1 XLR Stw D Close,
the Studio Grand 2 XLR Ya C7 and a brand new acquaintance:
The BlueSwede XLR LargeUpright. The new XLR pianos take advantage of the String Resonance feature that is implemented in the new Stage EX OS (v5.x or later). XLR pianos can be used in Electro 3's and classic 128 MB Stage's but then without the string resonance functionality. The XLR pianos and more info on the BlueSwede can be found on the Nord Piano Library page.

C2 OS - update to version 1.2 - click the picture and read more.
The Nord Stage EX has been updated to OS version 5.02, an important update that adds several new exciting features, such as:
• String Resonance – this feature can together with a selection of new acoustic piano sounds recreate the wonderful acoustic phenomenon that occurs inside the body of a piano. • Piano Unison – will slightly detune the piano. Use this to to create really great honky-tonk pianos. • The Extern Section has been augmented with a new MIDI Mode selection - Global or Program. • Another addition to the Extern section is the possibility to use a complete Bank Select procedure with both CC00 and CC32 values. • A bug in the Farfisa organ where certain selections could cause it to clip has been fixed. • The Clavinet is now displayed as one file/unit in the Manager, instead of four and will be shown as A. B. C and D in the Type LED on the unit. And more, click the picture for detailed info... Please note: This new update is only available for the Nord Stage EX 256 MB units. The updates are as always available in the Nord Stage Download area. Listen to the new piano sounds: Our very good friend Christer Karlsson helped us with excellent chops on these clips. No effects, no reverb from the Stage EX or elsewhere have been used, just the String Resonance and, on one occasion, the Piano Unison feature. 
Look at the happy faces of the Nord crew as they wave good-bye to the first batch of Nord C2 Combo Organs leaving the factory! Our new combo organ has generated a lot of interest, not only in the traditional tonewheel and transistor loving communities, but also from classic organ players all around.
The C2 is equipped with an improved B3 tonewheel model, a Vox Continental™ and a Farfisa Compact Deluxe™ organ and crowned with a wonderful, sampled baroque pipe organ.
Read about all the features and get a glimpse of it on the new C2 Combo Organ product pages.
The hottest place in July! If you happen to be close to Tennesse in July, take the chance to visit our American distributor American Music & Sound (AM&S) at the Summer Namm 2009 exhibition! This is the first time for the new Nord C2 Combo Organ to hit the American ground, check out the complete setup with the Keyboard ALU stand and PEDAL KEYS 27 pedalboard. This red hot chilipepper will most definitely growl the competitors off the course showing that there can be only one at the top. Take your chance and experience the Nord Wave Super Sounds, the radiating sound banks made to serve and inspire. Naturally, the rest of our product range such as the Nord Electro 3, the Nord Stage EX and the newly re-introduced and always as popular Nordlead 2X will be in place, just waiting for you to come out and play. So, just put your snakeskins on and go whip up some serious dust at booth 900. 
The OS of the Classic 128 MB Nord Stage has today been updated to version 4.12, which includes a few fixes for a few bugs that unfortunately were introduced in the 4.10 version. The Clavinet Eq buttons are back online, and the Piano Mono Mode now behaves as expected. As previously announced, this update adds a couple of exciting new Extern features: • The Extern Section has been augmented with a new MIDI Mode selection - Global or Program. The Global setting behaves like before, you set one outgoing MIDI for each of the two panels in the Extern section and these then rule for all the programs. The spanking new Program setting allows you to save a new setting for the Extern transmitting MIDI channels for each and every program and panel in the unit. • Another addition to the Extern section is the possibility to use a complete Bank Select procedure with both CC00 and CC32 values. These two new features may cause some satisfaction to the MIDI endowed hardcore crew out there. Yes, we do listen to suggestions :-). While we were at it, we tracked down a bug in the Farfisa organ where certain selections could cause it to clip and another minor inconvenience that would prevent the Piano Mono mode to be indicated on the panel properly. And our housekeeping department has cleaned up some code so that the Clavinet is now displayed as one file/unit in the Manager, instead of four and will be shown as A. B. C and D in the Type LED on the unit. Please note: This update is currently only available for the classic 128 MB Nord Stage units. The Nord Stage EX series will get these features as well, in an update that will appear in a not so distant future. The updates are as always available in the Nord Stage Download area. 
Not only can the Nord Wave use samples, FM synthesis and digital
waveforms to complement its already fat and juicy analog style waveforms,
it is designed around a very powerful synthesizer architecture that provides
you with loads of modulation and sound sculpting capabilities. We asked some of the planet's most talented synthesizer programmers to make their version of the ultimate Nord Wave Program Bank. The results were so amazing that instead of making a couple of best-of banks, we decided that all of these great sounds had to be released. Please have a look in the brand new Nord Wave Program Library section. 
We are very honored and pleased to have received our 10th M.I.P.A award
at the 2009 Musikmesse. This time the Nord Wave was awarded top honors
in the Synthesizer Hardware category. Thanks to all of you who voted
for us, and to the entire M.I.P.A
crew.
The Nord Electro 3 has been reviewed in some of the most respected
magazines in the music biz:Keyboard Magazine - Sound on Sound - Future Music - Musikermagasinet - Studio - Music Tech. Read a few quotes on the new Electro 3 In the Press page.  Thanks
to some very helpful users, we have found and fixed 2 issues that appeared
in the Electro 3 OS since the 2.02 version. Read more about this on the
Electro
3 Update History page.
