With 4 independent synthesizers in one the Nord Wave 2 offersexceptional possibilities for layeringboth classic waveforms and samples.

DedicatedOLED displays for Program and Oscillator sections provide an excellent overview when shaping your sounds. The wide range of performance features andinstantly tweakable hands-on effects makes the Wave 2 our most versatile performance synthesizer ever.

Monitor mode
The new Monitor mode displaysyour settings for Amp Envelope and Filtersin the Program display for better overview and control.

The Wave 2 features aProgram Layer section with faders for easily controlling the volume or pan for all 4 layerparts at once. The Layer section also provideshandy features forquick layer focus,pancontrol, solo and multi-editing.

OSCILLATOR SECTION

The Oscillator section for each of the 4 layersoffers 4modes: Analog, Wavetable, FM and Samplesand is easily browsed with our new direct category mode.The Oscillator Control features additional control overshape, sync or detune.

Oscillator categories

Analog:anextensive range of waveforms from classic analog to extended, harmonically rich new additions.

• Basic: Saw, Pulse, Pulse Width, Sine, Squarewith basic tuning controls.
• Shape: Waveforms where Osc Control willalterthe Shape of the waveform
• Multi: 2 or more waveforms combined where the Osc Control will adjust amount of detune and spread
• Sync: Soft and Hard synced configurations, where Osc Control controls Sync Frequency
• Noise: Whitenoise

Samples:include high-quality samples from our Nord Sample Library 3.0 as well as the possibility to add your own custom samples using the Nord Sample Editor 3.Use the embedded samplepresets for instantly playable dynamic sounds or sculpt your own sound from scratchwith the \"Raw Samp\" mode.

Wavetable:A large number of advanced wavetablescovering a wide range of tonal characteristics.

FM2, 3 and4 operator configurations withharmonic and inharmonic variations.

Unison

The Wave 2 features a powerful multi-oscillator Unisoneffect with true Superwavessimultaneously generating hundreds of waveforms for extremely thick and fat sounds.

FILTER SECTION

The Filter section has 6 Filter types featuring classic 12 and 24 dB Low Pass, a High Pass, High Pass/Low Passand a Band Pass filter, together with a stunning emulationof the transistorladder filterfrom the legendary Mini. The unique modeling of these filters captures the truecharacter and response of the classic analog instruments, allowingfor flexible and precise sound design.The Filter section is equippied with full ADSR envelope.

LFO & MODULATION SECTION

The Wave 2 features a dedicated LFO for each layerwith a choice of waveforms plusAD/ARModulation Envelope with dedicated velocity setting andInvert mode. The LFO has several morphable parameters and the rate can be synchronizedto the Master Clock.

The Amp Section is equipped with a full ADSR envelope featuring a powerful new Transient Attack mode for adding more punch to your sounds.
