Nord C2 Combo Organ

Nord C2 Combo Organ is the ideal keyboard if you're after a multitude of classic organs sounds, but do not have the space needed to accommodate a number of these monsters. Nord C2 Combo Organ uses modelling technology developed by Clavia to deliver simply stunning recreations of a range of organ sounds, which includes the B3 tonewheel organ, a Vox Continental, a Farfisa and a beautiful baroque pipe organ. 

Nord C2 Combo Organ an extremely versatile instrument, providing rock organ players a new palette of sounds. C2 Combo Organ is also the perfect instrument to use in churches, concert and congregation halls or any other venue where a high quality pipe organ instrument is paramount.

From the golden age of organ building Clavia have carefully chosen a baroque organ with a devastatingly beautiful sound and wide range of expression for the C2 pipe organ part. Using cutting edge sampling technique, no efforts have been spared in producing the richest and most varied sound palette for the pipe organ player.

The Nord C2 pipe organ is built upon two basic types of organ pipes; flue pipes and reed pipes. The flue pipes have a softer timbre and the reed pipes a more nasal tone quality. For each keyboard division the player can choose from different sets of pipes, stops, to produce different timbres. The C2´s setup of stops make up a well-balanced blend of tonal qualities capable of expressing the most dramatic music to conveying the subtlest of organ pieces.

Clavia has developed digitally modeled vintage organ models for over a decade, taking each new product version one step closer to perfection. With the introduction of the Nord C2, Clavia raise the performance bar even a bit further with the addition of a baroque pipe organ section - this is the organ for others to compare against.

• Pipe Organ: The Nord C2 is equipped with a beautiful baroque pipe organ that compliments its tonewheel and transistor organs. This new organ has a total of 21 stops distributed across the Swell (9 stops) manual, the Great (9 stops) manual and the bass section (3 stops). The pipe organ is - contrary to the C2’s tonewheel, Vox and Farfisa models - sampled, using Clavia’s longtime experience and expertise in the sample acquisition and sample playback technologies.
• New keyboard action: The keyboard have been enhanced with a firmer action to better provide you with the rock solid feel of an original tonewheel instrument. The ultra fast response time is of course still there.
• Improved output routing capabilities: The C2 treats the main left and right outputs as one group, separated from the other group which consist of the Leslie 11-pin and High Level outputs. This provides an improved flexibility in the routing of the organ models. A tonewheel organ can e.g. always be routed to a rotary speaker connected at the 11-pin or High Level jack output and the pipe organ can be routed to the PA through the main outputs. Another scenario would be for the Vox* and Farfisa* to be routed to a combo amplifier via one of the main outputs, and the tonewheel organ to a rotary speaker connected at the High Level outputs. Other combinations of the organ models and outputs are also catered for.
• Monitor input: Just plug in your mp3 or CD player to the C2 to be able to play along, rehearse or jam with previously recorded music without the need of an external mixer or sound system. The signal that is present at this input will be monitored through the C2’s headphone output.
• Percussion controls moved to the “classic position”: The switches for the percussion controls on the panel have been moved, to the classic tone wheel organ position at the lower right.
• Vibrato and chorus controls moved to the “classic position”: The switches for the vibrato and chorus controls on the panel have been moved, to the classic tonewheel organ upper left position. When the pipe organ is used, these controls activate the tremulant effect.
• Enhanced click: The click level can now be adjusted. The essential click artifact in the tonewheel organ model has been further enhanced. The level can be adjusted and the key-release component of this click has been specifically modeled to further improve the authenticity of the tonewheel organ sound.
• Drawbar Preview: This new function allows you to dial in a new sound while still playing without any changes being heard. When you are ready, the new setting can be instantly activated.
