The Piano has a new and enhanced collection of Grands, Uprights and Electric Pianos that digs into the new Dynamic Compression and Unison modes. The Organ introduces physical drawbars across all models with LED indicators for a complete overview. The Synth section remains largely unchanged although they have, as predicted, doubled the sample memory to a modest 1GB. Nord has expanded the Effects section to offer a complete suite for each layer. This adds a new Pump effect or side chain simulation, a Spin effect and many new variations of Reverb, Delay, Amps and Modulation effects.

Three Models As with the previous versions, there are three Stage 4 models. As they all have physical drawbars now the only difference is in the size of the keybed. The Stage 4 88 has a fully weighted 88- key Triple Senor keybed with aftertouch. The Stage 4 73 has the same over 73 keys, and the Stage 4 Compact goes with a semi-weighted waterfall keyboard version over 73 keys. What’s new? The Stage 4 has had a front panel overhaul. The new design has dedicated LED faders for each layer and Layer Scenes for switching between setups at the touch of a button. There’s a powerful new effects section, versatile pedal options and a top-class triple sensor keybed in three sizes.
