One of the instruments we spend some time with this month is the Nord Stage 4 Compact — a keyboard built for musicians who need versatility without wanting to carry half a studio onto the stage.

With 73 keys, Nord’s Piano, Organ and Synth sections, physical drawbars, three independent synth layers and dedicated effects, there is a lot packed into that unmistakable red keyboard. But what really stands out is how accessible everything remains when you’re actually playing.

Because on stage, you don’t want to fight with your instrument. You want to play it.

That’s just one of the gear stories waiting for you in the September edition of Proaudio MusicGear Magazine.

Grab the latest edition and discover the Nord Stage 4 Compact, along with more guitars, keyboards, microphones, artist interviews and stories from the world of music.

The new Electro 7 takes a significant step forward with a powerful new Synth Section, dedicated effects for each section, an updated high-resolution colour display and the latest Nord piano features — alongside the Organ and Rotary Speaker technology from the Nord Organ 3.

Don't let the word Compact fool you.

In the September edition of Proaudio MusicGear Magazine, we take a closer look at the Nord Stage 4 Compact — 73 keys packed with pianos, organs, synths, effects and the kind of hands-on control that makes a real difference when you're performing live.

With its semi-weighted waterfall keybed, physical drawbars, three independent synth layers, Nord Wave 2 Synth Engine and dedicated effects for each layer, there's an enormous amount happening beneath that unmistakable red exterior.

But perhaps that's what Nord does so well. All that technology is there when you need it, without getting between you and the music.

73 keys may be compact. What you can do with them certainly isn't.

Spring has arrived, and so has a fresh edition of Proaudio MusicGear Magazine.

This month, Mark Haze takes the cover as we talk music, life, longevity and continuing to find your own road.

Inside, we catch up with Mark Biagio, meet young guitarist Shaun Narainsingh, spend some time with the students from School of Rock, and pay tribute to Don Felder and his incredible connection to one of rock’s most iconic guitar moments.

Then there’s the gear — Gibson, Epiphone, Nord, Audio-Technica, Swiff Audio and plenty more for musicians who simply love instruments, sound and making music.

New season. New inspiration. Plenty to discover.

Some instruments are designed to give you more features. Others are designed to make you want to keep playing.

The Nord Organ 3 takes everything musicians have loved about the Nord Organ and pushes it into a new generation.

A greatly enhanced organ engine brings even more detail and realism, while new modulation effects and an exceptional rotary speaker emulation give players more character, movement and expression beneath their fingertips.

But ultimately, it’s still about the experience of sitting down, choosing a sound and getting lost in the music.

The Nord Organ is back. Reborn, reimagined and ready to be played.

There is something special about an instrument that gives you enormous creative freedom, but still feels simple when you sit down to play.

The Nord Piano 6 88 does exactly that.

Two independent Piano and Sample Synth layers, dedicated effects, 120-voice polyphony and a premium Triple Sensor keybed give musicians plenty of room to build, layer and shape their sound.

And with dedicated LED faders and Nord’s beautifully intuitive panel, the technology stays where it belongs — at your fingertips, not in the way of the music.

Sit down. Choose a sound. And play.

That’s what a great stage piano should make you want to do.
