Thank you for purchasing the Nord Electro 5. Our goal when developing the Nord Electro line of instruments has always been to offer the best em- ulations of traditional electromechanical keyboard instruments in a compact and lightweight package. With the Nord Electro 5 we have taken this several steps further by not only upgrading the existing sections but also adding a sample synthesizer section and making the Nord Electro 5 bi-tim- bral – a first for the Electro series. There are also new ways in which sounds can be layered and organized making the Nord Electro 5 one of the most versatile and player friendly instruments on the market today.
