For more complex performances, you can split the keyboard to play different sounds with each hand or layer multiple sounds together. With so much control at your fingertips, the Nord Electro 6HP opens up endless creative possibilities on stage or in the studio.

    • Great keyboard, but drivers won't load

      I loved this keyboard until I upgraded my laptop, and now the drivers won't load unless I disable hardware memory protection (which helps prevent malware attacks.) Clavia/Nord has known about this for over 2 years, but has done nothing about it. WAKE UP CLAVIA! Act like your customers matter. At least provide some official communication about this. Instead we have to read about it in the unofficial Nord users' forum.

      On the Electro 6hp 73 key model, can it take continued hard pounding of a rock 'n roll player without damaging the key triggers?

      It depends on how hard you pound
