If you've been watching any live bands on TV recently (particularly in the UK), then you cant have failed to see that the Nord Electro taking the electro-mechanical sound duties in many cases. It seem that it has just become quite the standard for the touring band. Fans of the Nord Electro, will be pleased to learn the new Nord Electro 3 is now in production offering these new features over the previous version:

1. Load any sample from the Nord Sample library
   Users can add virtually any sound they want to the Nord Electro 3. Sounds can be loaded from the Mellotron Library or any other instrument or sound from the extensive Nord Sample Library, the same as the Nord Wave uses. Users are even able to create their own Sample Instruments using the Nord Wave Manager and then use these in the Nord Electro 3.
2. Exquisite new pianos
   The Electro 3 will use the same sample format as the acknowledged Nord Stage, to take full advantage of the Nord Piano Library's multitude of velocity layers, pedal-down samples and extremely high quality samples with unprecedented expressiveness. Any current or future piano that is available for the Stage family will also automatically be available to the Nord Electro 3.
3. Increased memory capacity - 8 times the size of the original Electro
   The Nord Electro 3 has a memory for pianos and samples of 256 MB and can it can store 128 programs.
4. Second generation organ emulation
   The organ section is directly descending from the award winning Nord C1 Combo Organ with its fabulous vintage sounds from the B3, Farfisa and Vox-type models. Each and every individual sound creating component and even the artifacts of the original instruments have been faithfully reproduced in the Electro 3.
5. Brand new effect section
   The Nord Electro 3 is equipped with a great selection of high quality effects including a lush sounding reverb with five different algorithms. There is also a selection of tremolo, panning, wah-wah, phaser, flanger and chorus effects.
6. New amps, compressor and EQ
   User can sculpt their final sound by choosing from a selection of three amplifier simulations that can add any amount of grit and distortion from gentle to manic levels. A three-band EQ with sweepable mid-range and a compressor can be added to the final stage of the audio path.
7. Enhanced Rotary speaker emulator
   The rotary speaker emulator also originates from the Nord C1 Combo Organ, with its acclaimed sound quality. This rotary speaker emulator incorporates the acoustic variations that occur when a physical speaker spreads the sound in a room, providing the full experience of when the air is moved around. The Electro 3's rotary also features a brand new function in the addition of the Rotary Stop Mode. This allows users to switch between fast and stopped rotation and back again by using either the controls on the panel or with a foot pedal connected to the Rotor Pedal input. This is a crucial functionality that mimics the behavior of early one-speed original rotary speaker units.
8. CD/MP3 player line in - routed to headphones out.
9. Lighter and slimmer Production starts November 2008 - specifications subject to change and all that.
