A Nord Wave Rack would be cool!!
But with more memory, like in the NS2.

Yeah I noticed the same thing. Maybe it's an Electro 3 with weighted keys. It seems to be thicker like a stage/piano. It also seems to start on the low E-note like the Stage 76, and the keys seem to have the weighted paint finish.

To me it looks like a Electro 3 76 with weighted action, but I might be imagining things.

Edit: By the way. Look at it's stand. Isn't that the Stage Legs it's using?

Indeed a NE76 it might be. Even though the concept seems like a somewhat strange melange of the NP, NS, and NE. But why not?
Moreover, if its true and given recent years releases, it seems Nord is more and more going into the Vintage Piano/Organ direction rather than classical Synths.

Yeah. New keyboard buyers are kinda spoiled in all the possibilities to choose from now :p

I think your right that Clavia has been moving more and more towards the Vin.Piano/organ than synth. It is a bit sad if they don't continue to make new inovative synth keyboards. But I definitly think they earn more money from the bread and butter sounds.

My dealer told me that Clavia makes 90% of their income from the Electro and Stage series (might be a guestimate). So who knows. I definitly hope they continue improving their synths as well.

I don't think it is but it would be cool if it was a Tube-preamp for the Hammond sounds! :)

I guess it's real.
But HP? Those letters didn't sound good for me.
Anyway....
They are starting to change keybeds, maybe they make a NS2 compact with 76 waterfall keys.
