Description
The Nord Stage 4 Compact 73-key keyboard is built for serious players who need power, flexibility and premium sound on every stage. Combining decades of Swedish craftsmanship with an intuitive interface, this lightweight keyboard gives you full control over pianos, synths, organs and effects—all in one smartly designed unit. Featuring a semi-weighted triple-sensor keybed, it's made to handle everything from expressive studio ballads to high-energy live sets. With updated effects routing, streamlined controls and sounds from the Nord Piano Library and Wave 2 Synth Engine, the Stage 4 Compact offers a full creative toolbox in a performance-ready format.
Keyboard With Enhanced Piano Sounds and Realistic Response
The upgraded piano section features a rich collection of sounds from the Nord Piano Library, including uprights, grands and electric pianos. Dynamic compression and curated presets give you fine-tuned control, while the semi-weighted triple-sensor keybed delivers lifelike response with every touch. Whether you're tracking in the studio or playing live, this keyboard offers the expressive feel and nuanced control you'd expect from an acoustic grand—without the size or maintenance.
Advanced Synth Section Built Into the Keyboard
Powered by Nord Wave 2 technology, the synth engine on this keyboard opens up endless creative options. Layer up to three sound types—Virtual Analog, FM, Samples and Digital Waves—for rich, evolving textures. Onboard features like an arpeggiator, unison mode and Extern MIDI controls make it easy to build, tweak and control your sound in real time. With deep programmability and intuitive layout, this synth section is perfect for sound design, ambient textures and bold leads alike.
Organ Sounds on the Keyboard With Hands-On Control
The Nord Stage 4 Compact offers detailed emulations of classic organs, including B3, VOX and Farfisa models, plus beautiful pipe organ tones. Physical drawbars with LED feedback give you tactile, real-time control over your tone. Whether you want gospel warmth, retro rock grit or cinematic layers, this keyboard's organ section lets you dial it in with authenticity and ease.
Keyboard Effects Engine With Deep Customization
Each section of the keyboard—piano, synth and organ—has its own dedicated effects, so you can shape your sound without compromise. Reverbs, delays, EQs, modulation and amp sim effects are all onboard, and tape-style processing adds character and warmth. From subtle polish to experimental layers, this effects engine helps you create fully sculpted tones for stage and studio.

The most awesome keyboard I've ever owned. I traded in a Yamaha YC-61, a Hammond XK-3c, and a Dave Smith OB-6 for it and I would do it again. It does everything that all 3 keyboards did.
