Clavia is teasing something http://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.asp?tm=Home

My guess is a Wave 2, what's yours?

If you zoom in you can clearly see that stuff has been (badly) photoshopped away.

I think given the hint is that you can tweak your sounds in seconds it's unlikely to be a G3! Smile

I wouldn't call the G2 a synth you tweak in seconds Smile

At least the control surface doesn't look like it will be a new organ!

Ahh, another speculation thread. I have no info, but I'm hopeful it will be something good.

More points to be a Nord Wave 2: The Nord Wave is listed as discontinued in the web.

And the result is extremely disappointing, I'd say...

Especially when considering the RRP seems to be 1300£ and compared with the Nord Lead 2x we get this comparison chart...

It sounds good, but seems a bit too limited for the price...
And we can't forget it has effects, which definitely adds to the sound.

Seems like an involution to me. Highly disappointing Sad

I wasn't expecting a G3 but this is a pretty underwhelming machine, though I suppose it'c heap by Clavia standards. But just one LFO, no rea ADSR? Dubious, I do not predict a warm market response.

I don't have much need for something like this, but I'm sure they know what their market is. I have given up hope for a G3.
