Nord

collapse expand iconDescription

The Nord Electro 6D 73-key stage piano lets you tap into the soul of vintage electromechanical and acoustic keyboards with jaw-dropping authenticity. This compact yet potent instrument packs Nord's award-winning simulations of classic tonewheel and transistor organs, pipe organs, upright and grand pianos, plus an advanced sample synth section. With three independent sound engines onboard, the Electro 6D allows you to create rich layered patches or deploy complementary tones across its generous 73-note range.

Vintage Organ Tones That Transport You

From the opening notes, the Electro 6D's organ section will have you convinced you're playing a vintage B3. Nord's C2D engine meticulously models the tonewheels, drawbar settings, key click and all the unique character of these coveted instruments. You can even choose from four different degrees of tonewheel aging for that road-worn vibe. Two pipe organ models provide an inspiring rendition of a classic church pipe organ. And the Vox and Farfisa transistor organs let you dial up unmistakable vintage combo tones.

Seamless Performance Splits and Layers

The Electro 6D makes it easy to create complex multi-instrument textures. Six adjustable split points allow you to map different sounds across the keyboard. The new Split Point Crossfade feature enables buttery-smooth transitions between adjacent zones. You can even set the crossfade width for the perfect balance. Layer up to three tones simultaneously for massive, choir-like pads or stacked lead tones. The streamlined panel and handy Organize mode keep everything easily accessible.

A Stage Piano With Authentic Acoustic Tone

While its organ and synth sections are second to none, the Electro 6D also delivers stunning acoustic and electric piano sounds from Nord's renowned sample library. The dedicated bass mode gives you a separate B3 pedalboard tone for authentic left-hand work. From grand pianos to wurlitzers, Fender Rhodes to Clavs, the Electro 6D has all the iconic keyboard flavors covered.

All the Extras for a Portable Rig

This bundle equips you with a few key accessories to make the Electro 6D gig-ready right away. The included sustain pedal provides the essential piano-style foot control. The folding Z-stand keyboard stand adjusts from 24" to 36" high, letting you play sitting or standing. And the padded soft case features built-in wheels for effortless transport.
