Introduction
Thank you!
We would first like to thank you for purchasing the Nord C2D! We hope
you will find it to be everything you wished for and that you’ll have
many hours of great fun with your new instrument.
Development goals
First some history: at the time of designing the Nord C2D, Clavia had
already been developing digital tonewheel organ models for more than
a decade. The first model featured in the Nord Electro series of instru-
ments was designed to fit comfortably in a multi electro-mechanical
instrument along side various piano implementations. With focus given
to fit several mechanical instruments into a single package, you are
always forced to make some compromises.
Though not surprised, we were definitely thrilled when the Electro
started to appear in different magazine’s tonewheel clone tests and
shoot-outs. It was included for its fabulous sound that some found
to be better than far more expensive hardcore clone units. However,
due to its single manual and additional piano samples, it was generally
included “out of contest”.
With the preceding models - the C1 and C2 - we wanted to design
instruments without having to find the right blend of things; like piano
vs. organ keyboard action, or multi-effects suited for a wide array of
sounds. We wanted to focus on the things needed for killer organ
sounds, and those things only.
Some areas we knew were up for improvement prior to the start of
the project, others were found along the way. What really paid off was
focusing on each of the components involved in the sound generating
process, rather than just the sounding outcome. After spending thou-
sands of man hours leaving no detail untouched - no matter how small
and seemingly insignificant - we believe we have not only reproduced
the perfect tonewheel sound but also the proper response and feel of
playing the original instrument.
Taking the next step after developing the Nord C1 was looking at the
classical organ sounds. We sourced a beautiful baroque organ and
sampled it with the same painstaking effort and focus on quality as we
do when we create our other instruments.
The next step on the evolution ladder that is added to the C2D are the
full set of drawbars and preset functionality that allows you to use the
C2D as an original instrument, or go even beyond that functionality. A
brand new rotary emulation modeled on a 122 cabinet is like a nice,
creamy topping of a cake.
And we could not resist the possibility to further tweak the B3 model,
to take the award winning realism one step further. The key-on and
key-off clicks have been improved together with the modelling of the
level and mixes of the individual tonewheels. Enjoy.
Features
The Nord C2D features high quality digital emulations of three vintage
organs, a sampled baroque pipe organ, a bunch of effects as well as
several amp and speaker cabinet combinations in a single lightweight
package.
The dual keyboards, bass pedal input and high level outputs allows you
to use the instrument in the exact same application and set-up as with
the vintage originals - and several more!
By focusing on each individual component involved in the sound gener-
ating process you get not only a vintage sound experience but also
spot-on response and feel of playing the original instruments.
The Nord C2D has the following features:
•1 model of a vintage Tonewheel organ
•2 models of vintage Vox and Farfisa transistor organs
•1 sampled baroque pipe organ
•A full set of physical drawbars on the panel and preset functionality.
•3 Amplifier models, featuring simulations of the gain characteristics of
two popular combo amps as well as a rotary speaker cabinet.
•Selectable rotary speaker models.
•Overdrive, offering a gentle to massive amount of tube-style distor-
tion.
•Vintage-sounding delay, with tap-tempo function and a possibility to
limit its operation to the upper manual.
•3-band EQ
•6 types of Reverberation - Room, Stage and Hall-types with varia-
tions
•Dual manuals with 2 x 61 waterfall keys, featuring a high trigger point
for the optimal organ keyboard feel and response time.
•Dedicated MIDI connector for use with any MIDI compatible foot
pedalboard to play the bass registers.
•High level outputs, featuring quarter-inch as well as a 11-pin Leslie
standard connectors allows you to connect directly to rotary speak-
ers. When using the 11-pin connector, the panel controls for rotation
speed are transferred as well.
About this user manual
This manual is arranged mainly as a reference manual. In many cases
you’ll get tips on how to practically use functions.
The LCD-display is referred to as the display. Whenever there is a refer-
ence to the ‘keyboard’, that reference also applies to incoming MIDI
note messages.
