Nord Keyboards has lifted the curtain on the Nord Electro 7 — the latest and most versatile model in the beloved Electro series. Designed for gigging musicians, studio pros, and keyboardists who demand expressive sound and intuitive control, the Electro 7 brings a host of powerful upgrades without sacrificing the lightweight, stage-ready design the series is known for.


🎹 A New Benchmark in Performance

At its core, the Nord Electro 7 is built around three dedicated sound engines — piano, organ, and synth — each with deep, expressive capabilities:

  • Piano Section: Compatible with the Nord Piano Library, the Electro 7 delivers rich and dynamic acoustic and electric piano tones with features like dynamic compression, unison, and enhanced timbral control.

  • Organ Section: Borrowing technology from the acclaimed Nord Organ 3, this keyboard includes a full range of classic organ models (B3, Vox, Farfisa, Soft B3, Pipe) plus a sophisticated rotary speaker emulation with multiple mic positions. Physical drawbars with LED indicators give you hands-on control for live performance.

  • Synth Section: A major leap forward for the Electro line, the new synth engine combines samples with analog waveforms and FM synthesis. Features such as mono/legato modes, glide, unison, low-pass filter with resonance, and dual envelopes expand the expressive possibilities like never before.


🛠️ Intuitive Control & Modern Interface

Nord has refined the Electro series’ user experience with a redesigned control panel and large high-resolution colour display. Together with push encoders, this allows seamless navigation of sounds, categories, and performance settings — especially useful during live sets.

Whether you’re switching between piano layers, tweaking organ drawbars, or sculpting synth leads, the interface feels immediate and musical.


🎧 Advanced Effects for Every Section

One of the most exciting upgrades on the Electro 7 is independent effects per sound section. You’ll find a suite of studio-quality tools including:

  • Spring, room, stage, hall, and cathedral reverbs

  • Delay with analog emulation and ping-pong modes

  • Classic modulation effects (chorus, phaser, flanger, ring modulator)

  • Amp simulations with EQ and drive

  • Dedicated compressors and 3-band EQ per section

This empowers you to craft unique tones and textures without needing external processors.


🎹 Choose Your Perfect Fit

The Electro 7 comes in three configurations to suit different playing styles and spaces:

  • Nord Electro 7 61 – Compact 61-key semi-weighted waterfall keyboard ideal for organists, synth players, and gigging musicians on the move.

  • Nord Electro 7 73 – Expanded 73-key semi-weighted keyboard, offering more range without adding excessive weight.

  • Nord Electro 7 HP 73 – A 73-key model with premium triple-sensor hammer action keybed from Kawai, blending authentic piano feel with portability.

Each model features physical drawbars with LED feedback and a refined layout that’s both purposeful and musical.

These models include a pitch stick and modulation wheel, making them ideal for players who want hands-on expressive control when performing synth leads, bends, vibrato, filter sweeps, and other modulation-based effects. These controls pair especially well with the Electro 7’s expanded synth engine.


🎼 Crafted for the Stage and Studio

Whether you’re performing live, tracking in the studio, or rehearsing complex arrangements, the Electro 7’s lightweight design and comprehensive connectivity make it a powerful centerpiece for any setup. With stereo outputs, pedal inputs (sustain, expression, rotary), MIDI I/O, and USB-B for MIDI and sound management, this keyboard integrates seamlessly into modern rigs.


🎤 Final Thoughts

The Nord Electro 7 represents a significant step forward in the Electro lineage — marrying classic Nord sound quality with new-generation synthesis and effects. Whether you’re a touring pro, session player, or creative bedroom producer, the Electro 7 delivers expressive tone and performance flexibility that’s ready for any musical situation.
