Clavia Nord Wave Features and Spec 


Save money with InstrumentPro special promotions.
1. Sampled waveforms: Oscillators can now use full waveforms (not single wavetables, Clavia hastens to add), while still routing through fully-analog circuitry.

2. Oscillator models: Virtual analog, FM, wavetable, sample-playback can be applied in combination (which I hear is all the rage these days). And you can load in custom waveforms, as well, via fully user-definable memory areas (so you can delete samples you hate). Clavia even promises it'll offer additional, free waves on their website. An included software sample editor lets you tweak samples.

3. Morphing: Morph "almost any parameter" via mod wheel, expression, velocity, or pitch, with assignable "morph scenarios" and morph "timelines."

4. Filters: 24db analog-modeled resonant filters, low-, high-, band-pass filters with envelope and velocity control, combinations of filter types, and formant filters.

5. Effects: EQ, delay with tap tempo, tube-style amp with overdrive, reverb.

6. Pitch stick: Clavia's signature wooden pitch stick allows precise bend and vibrato.

Nord Wave USA Product Page
Clavia unveiled prototypes of its new instrument at Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany - the Nord Wave. Following in the tradition of the renowned Nord Lead series, the Wave incorporates the Lead's virtual analog synthesis, FM synthesis, and a fully-integrated wavetable engine. These can be used separately or together, allowing users to create sounds that are a step above sample-playback.
