The Stage EX stems directly from the Nord
Stage, but have gone through a major hard-
ware change and also received a cosmetic
makeover. The new features are:
•Increased memory
capacity for the piano
samples. The EX units
have twice the internal
memory capacity com-
pared to the former models, an increase from
128 to 256 MB.
•Thefrontpanelsportsanew color scheme.
•TheStageEX88andStageEX76models
have text printed on the front panel upper
rim to indicate the position and function of the
rear panel jacks. (The NS Compact EX will not
have these labels, there isn’t room on the panel
on this unit.)
The increased memory
allows users to add more
pianos from the Nord
Stage Piano Library,
to bring an even greater
selection of these sounds to each and every
performance.
The Stage’s user interface is designed from a
basic concept: All vital functions are repre-
sented on the front panel - easy to access,
and never further away than a press of a single
button. After more than 20 years of experience
in designing instruments to be used by profes-
sional musicians, we know how important it is
to make the technology completely transpar-
ent for the user. With the Nord Stage EX you
only need to focus on your performance,
which means never having to struggle with the
technology.
Our patented Pitch Stick and Modulation
Wheel are included for maximum musical
expression.
A top-of-the-line weighted hammer-action
keyboard makes you feel that the Stage’s
sound is balancing at the tip of your fingers,
completely under your control. Our efficient
Morph Grouping technique is also included,
allowing you to assign sound and effects pa-
rameters to one physical controller.
All together, the Nord Stage EX is a musical,
reliable, efficient, and roadworthy companion
that delivers results, and provides the means to
express your passion for playing. Choose from
three models; 88, 76 or Compact.
Featuring the best of Nord’s award-winning
technologies, the Nord Stage EX hosts three
different instrument sections - Organ, Piano
and Synth - plus an extensive effects sec-
tion. You can use two sounds of each Section
simultaneously - that’s two Organ manuals,
two Synths, and two Pianos. These can be
combined in any split or layered configuration
you need for your performance.
