The Wave 2 gives you virtual analog, sample playback, FM and wavetable, and lets you stack four independent parts across them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interface is organized around layers rather than around a single voice. That is a deliberate choice for performance: you are building a stacked sound for a song and adjusting the relationship between the parts, not tuning one oscillator in isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 20 lbs it is a genuinely portable synth, which matters when it is the second keyboard on your stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNord put a full effects section behind each part rather than sharing one chain, so a stacked sound holds together instead of turning to mud when you add the fourth layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable class=\"vmi-at-a-glance\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour part performance synthesizer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSynthesis Types\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVirtual analog, sample playback, FM, wavetable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayer focused panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 in x 12 in x 4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAMS-GBW2 Soft Case Nord Wave 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does Four Part Mean in Practice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour independent sound engines running at the same time, each assignable to its own key range, velocity range or MIDI channel.

The Wave line has always been where Nord puts its more experimental synthesis work, and the Wave 2 is the broadest version of that so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it act as a master keyboard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

It has excellent acoustic and electric piano samples available, but if piano is your primary sound the Piano 6 or Stage 4 is the better anchor with the Wave 2 on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it have aftertouch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wave 2 is a performance synth with a semi weighted action. Check the current Nord specification page for the exact controller complement on your unit before ordering if aftertouch is a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat case fits it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMS-GBW2 Soft Case Nord Wave 2.
