Nord ELECTRO 7 - 73

Essential Information About the Stage Keyboard "Nord Electro 7 - 73"

• 73-note "waterfall" semi-weighted keyboard, ideal for organ, piano, and Rhodes playing.


• Three independent sections - Piano, Synth, and Organ - combinable in split or layer mode with seamless transitions.


• High-definition color screen and direct interface with push-encoders for ultra-fast adjustments on stage.


• Complete effects section dedicated to each module and next-generation rotary speaker modeling.

An Heir Designed for the Stage, in the Electro Lineage

Since its inception, the Electro series embodies the all-in-one stage instrument combining grand pianos, vintage organs, and sample-based sounds. This generation takes the formula further with a programmable synth section, effects per section, and the organ derived from the recent "Nord Organ 3." The result: a versatile, compact performance keyboard designed for musicians who switch from piano to organ in an instant.

Keyboard Design

73-note "waterfall" semi-weighted keyboard with velocity sensitivity, perfect for organ techniques (glissandos, palm smears) while providing the resistance needed for electric and acoustic pianos. Nine split points indicated by LEDs allow clear zone organization, while the Aux KB mode opens up playing to an external master keyboard.

Sound Quality

Piano Section powered by the Nord Piano Library with dedicated Flash ROM, sympathetic resonance, dynamic filters, and dynamic compression for realistic nuances, plus three velocity curves. Organ Section offering 6 models (tonewheel, transistor, liturgical) and a fully revamped rotary speaker simulation (microphone position and "stop position"). Synth Section versatile: sample playback, analog waveforms, and FM synthesis to cover modern and vintage textures.

Built-in Effects

Each module has its own effects: tremolo, pan 1/2, wah, ring mod (Effect 1); phaser, flanger, chorus, ensemble, vibe (Effect 2). Five amp simulations with saturation and 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mids, delay (analog, ping-pong, tap tempo), and a single-knob compressor. In master, reverb with 5 algorithms (room, stage, spring, hall, cathedral) and bright/dark modes.
