The Nord Wave 2 is a powerful 4-part performance synthesizer combining Virtual Analog synthesis, Samples, FM and Wavetable with an intuitive layer-focused interface. With 48 voice polyphony, innovative performance features and hands-on controls, the Nord Wave 2 offers outstanding sonic possibilities with advanced layering and tweaking on the fly. Display SectionDedicated OLED displays for Program and Oscillator sections provide an excellent overview when shaping your sounds. The wide range of performance features and instantly tweakable hands-on effects makes the Wave 2 our most versatile performance synthesizer ever. The Monitor mode displays your settings for Amp Envelope and Filters in the Program display for better overview and control.  Layer SectionThe Wave 2 features a Program Layer section with faders for easily controlling the volume or pan for all 4-layer parts at once. The Layer section also provides handy features for quick layer focus, pan control, solo and multi-editing. The Group feature allows you to group 2, 3 or 4 layers and lets them share the same Filter, Envelope, Arpeggiator, LFO and Effect-settings - perfect when creating complex multi-layered sounds that can be edited as one coherent sound.Oscillator Section The Oscillator section for each of the 4 layers offers 4 modes: Analog, Wavetable, FM and Samples and is easily browsed with our new direct category mode. The Oscillator Control features additional control over shape, sync or detune. Samples: include high-quality samples from our Nord Sample Library 3.0 as well as the possibility to add your own custom samples using the Nord Sample Editor 3. Use the embedded sample presets for instantly playable dynamic sounds or sculpt your own sound from scratch with the "Raw Samp" mode. Wavetable: A large number of advanced wavetables covering a wide range of tonal characteristics.Filter Section The Filter section has 6 Filter types featuring classic 12- and 24-dB Low Pass, a High Pass, High Pass/Low Pass and a Band Pass filter, together with a stunning emulation of the transistor ladder filter from the legendary Mini. The unique modeling of these filters captures the true character and response of the classic analog instruments, allowing for flexible and precise sound design. The Filter section is equipped with full ADSR envelope. LFO and Modulation Section The Wave 2 features a dedicated LFO for each layer with a choice of waveforms plus AD/AR Modulation Envelope with dedicated velocity setting and Invert mode. The LFO has several morphable parameters and the rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock. Master ClockThe Master Clock of the Wave 2 allows the LFO, Arpeggiator and various effects to be synchronized, either internally or by an external MIDI clock. With Master Clock synchronization you can synchronize 4 layers with individual patterns, all perfectly in sync with Delays and LFO's. A Tap Tempo allows you to easily tap to the tempo of a drummer or to playback tracks..Features: General:4-part Synthesizer with dedicated volume/pan fadersSample, Virtual Analog, Wavetable and FM synthesis 48 voice polyphonyOLED Displays for Program and Oscillator sections1 GB memory for Nord Sample Library 3.0User replaceable samples61-note keyboard with Aftertouch Performance:Advanced Arpeggiator with Polyphonic Trig modeGate feature for rhythmic effectsAdvanced Morph features with Impulse MorphMaster Clock control of Arpeggiator, LFO and EffectsVibrato with 3 Delay modes and Wheel/Aftertouch assignOscillators:Analog: Basic, Shape, Multi, Sync and Noise with up to 16 oscillatorsSamplesWavetable Advanced FM with harmonic and inharmonic algorithmsTrue Unison modeModulationLFO with five waveformsFlexible syncing and routing optionsAD/AR envelopeAmp:ADSR Amp envelopeTransient Attack ModeFilter12/24 dB lowpass, lowpass M, band pass, high pass, and LP+HPFilter DriveADSR envelopeEffects:FX section with Tremolo, Pan, Ring Modulation, Chorus, Ensemble and Vibe.EQ section with DriveAdvanced Delay sectionReverb section with five sizes + Dark, Bright and Chorale modesGet your Nord Wave 2 Performance Synthesizer today at the guaranteed lowest price from Sam Ash with our 45-day return and 60-day price protection policy.
