The Nord Wave 2 synthesizer offers you four independent synths in one, and features more polyphony and a larger keybed when compared to the original Nord Wave. The Wave 2 four-part performance synth combines Virtual Analog synthesis, Samples, FM and Wavetable. The intuitive, layer-focused interface features dedicated OLED displays for Program and Oscillator sections. This provides an excellent overview when shaping your sounds. With 48-voice polyphony, a 61-note velocity-sensitive keybed with aftertouch, innovative performance features and hands-on controls, the Nord Wave 2 offers outstanding possibilities with on-the-fly tweaking and advanced layering.

Layer SectionThe Wave 2 features a Program Layer section with faders for easily controlling the volume or pan for all four layers at once. The Layer section also provides handy features for quick layer focus, pan control, solo and multi-editing. The new Group feature allows you to group 2, 3 or 4 layers and process them through the same Filter, Envelope, Arpeggiator, LFO and Effect settings?perfect when creating complex multi-layered sounds that can be edited as one coherent sound. Alternatively, three split points provide up to four zones with optional crossfades.

Oscillator SectionThe Oscillator section for each of the 4 layers offers 4 modes: Analog, Wavetable, FM and Samples and is easily browsed with Nord’s new direct category mode. The Oscillator Control features additional control over shape, sync or detune. The Oscillator section also includes a powerful multi-oscillator Unison effect with true Superwaves simultaneously generating hundreds of waveforms for extremely thick and fat sounds.
