Nord Stage 4 88-Key Stage Keyboard with Triple Sensor Hammer Action
The flagship Nord Stage 4 88 combines expressive piano feel, extensive sound-design capabilities, and immediate hands-on control in one professional stage keyboard. Its 88-key Triple Sensor Hammer Action keybed with aftertouch supports nuanced performances, while dedicated LED faders provide clear visual feedback and direct control over two Piano Layers, two Organ Layers, and three Synth Layers.
An enhanced Nord Piano Library collection, award-winning organ simulations, the Nord Wave 2 Synth Engine, complete effect sections for every layer, and flexible pedal integration make the Stage 4 88 a powerful centerpiece for live performance and studio production. Layer Scene functionality also allows musicians to move seamlessly between two complete sound configurations at the touch of a button.

Dedicated LED faders, physical drawbars with LED indicators, up to four keyboard zones, and extensive Morph controls make complex sounds, splits, and layered arrangements easier to manage during a performance.
The Piano section delivers acoustic grands, uprights, electric pianos, clavinet sounds, Advanced String Resonance, Dynamic Pedal Noise, Dynamic Compression, and Unison. Its three-layer Nord Wave 2 Synth Engine expands sound creation with Virtual Analog synthesis, samples, FM, Wavetable, enhanced sample playback, and an advanced arpeggiator.
For musicians looking to buy a professional 88-key stage keyboard capable of handling piano, organ, synthesis, sample playback, effects, and advanced live control from one instrument, the Nord Stage 4 88 offers exceptional versatility, expressive response, and a performance-focused workflow.
