Clavia NORD C1 Combo Organ

Tell your chiropractor we said we're sorry.
(But we're really not.)

Yes, the wait is finally over - Clavia introduces the Nord C1 Combo Organ, the first professional dual manual combo organ that is truly portable. Somebody once said "less is more" - in this case, it only applies to the weight. At just 33 pounds, the C1 is the most player-friendly clonewheel in the world, but that's only where "less is more" applies. The C1 has the most massive sound of any digital organ made, and will have you wondering if we didn't just put a real tonewheel organ inside the chassis.

Some distinct organ sounds have remained popular during recent decades of pop and rock & roll music – soulful sounds that breathe and growl that can only be found in heavy, bulky vintage instruments. Apart from sourcing, restoring, and maintaining these vintage organs, their size and weight make them less than ideal for the gigging musician – especially when adding their amplifiers, stands, and other necessary gear. Even recent clonewheels come in different parts, and can weigh as much as 95 pounds. With the C1, this is no longer a problem.

Nothing quite sounds like a tonewheel or transistor organ. Each instrument’s sound was the result of complex interactions between different electromechanical components. Sample-based organs can only play back the result of these interactions, but cannot duplicate the processes involved. Without these crucial steps represented, the response and feel of actually playing the source instrument is lost.

Thus Clavia uses advanced modeling technology to achieve these interactions virtually in a real-time, duplicating these interactions. This gives the Nord C1 an accurate feel and sound, unmatched in any other digital organ available.
