With stunning acoustic-grand samples, classic organs, electric pianos, clavinet, synthesizers, and every effect you're likely to want, the flagship Nord Stage 4 Compact is a professional-grade instrument widely used by musicians and producers who demand the highest quality sound and performance in the studio or live onstage.

Featuring a compact 73-key Triple Sensor semiweighted waterfall keybed with aftertouch (E–E), physical drawbars with LED indicators, an intuitive control-panel design, complete effect sections for each piano/synth/organ layer, and triple-pedal functionality, the Stage 4 Compact is a versatile and reliable instrument for any musical setting.

This compact model is 8.5" shorter and 20 lb lighter than the 88-key version, making it easier to transport when touring or traveling to local gigs.

The New Experience
Aimed at making the instrument more intuitive to use, the brand-new panel design with dedicated LED faders for each Layer provides exceptional overview and flexibility when creating sounds and performing live. The new Preset Library is packed with inspiring ready-to-use Piano, Synth, and Organ sounds (including effects) for quick and smooth patch creation. The Layer Scene lets you seamlessly switch between two different sound setups at the touch of a button. Adding a powerful new Effect section coupled with versatile pedal options and a premium Triple Sensor keybed with aftertouch, the Nord Stage 4 offers a new level of musical expression.
