Analog-style control with modern Nord synthesis and sampling.
The Nord Wave PCM-based synthesizer from Clavia closes the gap between analog and digital. Now you can
use digital samples in a virtual analog environment. That means that you can take a sampled sound and tweak it into something
completely different in realtime. You now have the full expressiveness of the classic analog synthesizer combined with sample
technology available at your fingertips—all in a top quality, user-friendly, lightweight package.
The Nord Wave
has a classic analog synthesizer set-up with filters, LFO's and envelopes plus a massive oscillator section capable of producing
classic analog waveformes (with sync), FM-synthesis, wavetables, sampled waves (wavetable with attack), noise and other miscellaneous
waveforms as well as-yes-samples. Plus, oscillator modulation allows you to modulate one oscillator with the other; for instance
an FM-sound modulated by a sampled sound-the character of the sample is applied to the FM sound.
Following in the tradition
of the renowned Nord Lead series, the Wave incorporates the Lead's virtual analog synthesis, FM synthesis, and a fully-integrated
wavetable engine. These can be used separately or together, allowing users to create sounds that are a step above sample-playback.
The Wave features high-quality wavetables generated by Clavia, and using the USB port, users can download and install extra
wave files from Clavia, as well as load their own custom waves using an integrated Editor. The Wave features new multi-filtering
technology which includes a formant filter, and uses two slots for toggling between sounds, or layering them for even more
complex sound.
Every sample in the nord wave can be replaced. You can use your own samples-simply map any standard
.wav-file in the nord wave manager software (for Windows and OS X) and transfer via USB.
The exclusive Clavia hardware
and software design brings you response times from note-on to sounding output like no other. The ultra-low latency simply
does not compare to other hardware or especially software products. Weighing only 6Kg (14 pounds) it is the kind of instrument
you easily carry with you and really will not notice. Until you plug it in.
• Sampled waveforms: Oscillators can
now use full waveforms-not single wavetables, while still routing through fully analog circuitry.
• Oscillator
models: Virtual analog, FM, wavetable, sample-playback can be applied in combination (which I hear is all the rage these days).
And you can load in custom waveforms, as well, via fully user-definable memory areas (so you can delete samples you hate).
Clavia even promises it will offer additional, free waves on their website. An included software sample editor lets you tweak
samples.
• Morphing: Morph almost any parameter via mod wheel, expression, velocity, or pitch, with assignable
morph scenarios and morph timelines. Filters: 24db analog-modeled resonant filters, low-, high-, band-pass filters with envelope
and velocity control, combinations of filter types, and formant filters.
• Effects: EQ, delay with tap tempo,
tube-style amp with overdrive, reverb. Pitch stick: Clavia's signature wooden pitch stick allows precise bend and vibrato.
