Nord Electro 6D 73

The Nord Electro 6 is a highly portable professional stage keyboard that combines Nord’s award-winning emulations of vintage electro-mechanical instruments and classic acoustic keyboards into a single, lightweight instrument. With three fully independent sound engines, a redesigned and streamlined user interface, and Seamless Transitions for smooth, uninterrupted sound changes, it represents the most powerful and flexible Electro model to date — a refined modern classic designed for demanding live performers and studio musicians alike.

• 73-key (6 octaves, E–E) velocity-sensitive Fatar semi-weighted Waterfall keyboard, optimized for expressive organ glissandos, fast shredding techniques, and agile synthesizer passages.
• Three independent sound sections — Organ, Piano, and Sample Synth — which can be combined in layered configurations or split across the keyboard for complex performance setups.
• Six keyboard split points (C3–F5) with Split Point Crossfade functionality, allowing smooth and natural transitions between split zones.
