Nord C2 Combo Organ: Compact Red Package Sports Of Sounds Equaling More Than A Ton of Hardware (Literally)
Musikmesse 2009 saw the followup to the C1, the Nord C2 Combo Organ, enter the stage and proclaim its greatness in one red-colored package. Sporting sounds that can amount to a room or hall full of pipes as well as thousands of pounds of gear, this considerably compact package did not fail to amaze and captivate its audience at Musikmesse. This audience as well as fans of Nord Keyboards have waited for it to become available, and with the Nord C2 Combo Organ now shipping, this moment has just fulfilled their wish after being teased for almost four months.
The amazing array of sounds the C2 Combo Organ offers is due to Nord's combination of digital modeling as well as sampling. Digital modeling allows the C2 Combo Organ to emulate even the subtle nuances of the actual tonewheel organs as well as the Vox Continental and Farfisa Compact Deluxe. Digital modeling duplicates the dynamic and random processes involved in these actual organ units to make the C2 Combo Organ sound feel and sound as if a real Hammond, Vox, or Farfisa. Two additional bass registers give the C2 Combo Organ the "oomph" that organ players love which can be played either with the optional pedalboard or by splitting the lower manual.
Sampling technology comes into play when the C2 Combo Organ recreates the sound of a baroque pipe organ. The C2 Combo Organ has 21 stops in total, 9 each for the upper and lower manuals (swell and great) and 3 for the pedals. Just like its majestic real-world counterparts, the C2's couplers and stops behave in the same way, thus providing that unparalleled realism the C2 Combo Organ exhibits.
The Nord C2 Combo Organ bears an MSRP of 3,599 USD.
