Clavia Nord Electro 2 is an electronic keyboard developed in Sweden, by Clavia.


Like its predecessor, the Clavia Nord Electro, this keyboard uses digital synthesizer technology to emulate the sounds of classic electro-mechanical keyboards: Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, Hohner Clavinet and Hammond B3 organ. Unlike many other keyboards that feature B3 emulation, drawbars of Electro 2 are represented by LED bar graphs and up/down buttons instead of the traditional mechanical drawbars. An emulation of an acoustic grand piano has also been provided. Also note that there is an effect section that emulates popular "stomp box" effect pedals from the 70's and the famous Leslie rotary speaker cabinet. The Electro 2 has been released in 61 and 73 note keyboard versions as well as the rackmount Electro Rack 2. As with other Clavia products it is distinctive for its red coloration.
