PROFESSIONAL SYNTHESIZER KEYBOARD The Nord Wave 2 is a powerful 4-part synthesizer that combines virtual analog synthesis, samples, FM and wavetable with an intuitive layer-focused interface and a 61-key keyboard with Aftertouch.

With 48-voice polyphony, innovative features and practical controls, the Nord Wave 2 offers excellent
sound possibilities with the ability to create layers and advanced editing adjustments on the fly.

OUR MOST VERSATILE SYNTHESIZER TO DATE
With 4 independent synthesizers in one, the Nord Wave 2 offers exceptional possibilities for layering both classic waveforms and samples. The OLED screens for the Program and Oscillator sections provide an excellent overview when shaping your sounds. The wide range of performance features and instantly adjustable effects make the Wave 2 our most versatile live synthesizer.

LAYER SECTION
The Wave 2 features a Program Layer section with faders to easily control the volume or panning of all 4 layers at once. The Layer section also provides practical features for quickly selecting a layer, panning control, SOLO mode 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 effects: perfect for creating complex multi-layered sounds that can be edited as a single Program. Alternatively, three SPLIT points provide up to 4 zones with optional crossfades.

OSCILLATOR SECTION
The Oscillator section for each of the 4 layers offers 4 modes: Analog, Wavetable, FM and Samples, and can be easily explored thanks to the new direct category mode. The oscillator control offers additional control over the waveform, sync or detune. The Oscillator section also features a powerful multi-oscillator Unison effect with two Superwaves that simultaneously generate hundreds of waveforms for extremely thick and powerful sounds.

Oscillator Categories

- Analog: a wide range of waveforms, from classic analog to rich harmonic modifications
- Samples: A wide selection of high-quality samples from the Nord Sample Library 3.0 including strings, brass, guitars, choirs, chromatic percussion and the exclusively licensed sounds of the legendary Mellotron and Chamberlin. All sounds are easily replaceable with the Nord Sound Manager.
- Wavetable: A large number of advanced wavetables covering a wide range of tonal characteristics.
- FM: with 2, 3 and 4-operator configurations with harmonic and inharmonic variations.

Create and transfer your own samples
Adding your own custom instruments has never been easier thanks to the new Nord Sample Editor 3 optimized for Mac and Windows that allows you to map, loop and transfer samples to your Nord Wave 2 in an instant.

FILTERS, AMP & LFO
The Filter section features 6 filter types, including a stunning emulation of the legendary Mini Moog's transistor ladder filter. This section is equipped with a full ADSR envelope.

The Wave 2 offers an LFO with a selection of waveforms for each layer. Vibrato plus AD/AR envelope modulation with inverted and speed-adjustment modes. The LFO features several editable parameters, and the frequency can be synced to the system Master clock.

The amplifier section is equipped with a full ADSR envelope that includes a new and powerful transient attack mode to add more punch to your sounds.

MORPHING AND IMPULSE MORPH
The Nord Wave 2 offers a wide range of editable parameters including LFO intensity, oscillator control, filter and effects that can be controlled from four different sources: Velocity, Aftertouch, Wheel and Control Pedal. All modulation sources can be quickly assigned to control multiple parameters simultaneously and the powerful Impulse Morph feature allows you to instantly change any parameter of your sound.

ADVANCED POLYPHONIC ARPEGGIATOR AND GATE MODE
The Wave 2 is a real rhythmic powerhouse thanks to its classic arpeggiator and polyphonic mode with directly editable patterns that will trigger all pressed keys directly or according to the pattern, including different inversions to achieve exciting harmonic variations.

The new Gate mode cuts your sound into a rhythmic pattern with adjustable depth. The Pattern mode contains a wide selection of rhythmic patterns and allows you to easily edit them to create your own custom patterns.

EFFECTS SECTION
An independent effects section for each layer offers instantly editable high-quality stereo effects including Tremolo, Pan, Ring Modulator, Chorus, Ensemble and Vibe, as well as an EQ with Drive. All effects are controllable through the control pedal (or other Morph sources) and can also be synced to the Master clock to create rhythmic effects.

Advanced stereo Delay effect with Ping Pong mode, analog mode and Tap Tempo. New creative Feedback options to add Ensemble, Chorus and Vibe, as well as HP / LP and BP filter in the effects loop.

Reverb section separated by layer with five different reverb sizes (Booth, Room, Stage, Hall and new Cathedral), Bright and Dark modes, and a new Chorale effect for lush modulation.
