Clavia releases the V2.0 Software Upgrade for the Nord Electro!
Clavia now releases the V2.0 Software Upgrade and new piano sounds for the
Nord Electro. The V2.0 upgrade is without doubt one of the most extensive
upgrades ever made for a Clavia instrument. A lot of time and effort have
been spent to take the Nord Electro to an even higher level. Here are some
of the features you get by upgrading your Electro to the V2.0 software:
  a.. The new Mega Clavinet
  The new Clavinet instrument that comes bundled with OS V2.0 is really
something above the ordinary. By utilizing the new sample playback engine
capabilities, Clavia has made it possible to recreate all the different
filter and pick-up settings of the original Clavinet D6! 60 + 4 different
Clavinet sounds from a single instrument at your disposal!
  b.. Stereo piano sample playback capability
  A completely remade piano sample playback engine with stereo playback
capability. Great for the new V2.0 Acoustic Grand piano sound, for example!
  c.. Greatly enhanced piano polyphony
  Thanks to the remade piano sample playback engine the polyphony for piano
sounds is now greatly enhanced. Thanks to the enhanced polyphony and to the
improved voice allocation system there will be no problems with voice theft!
  d.. Extended piano note ranges
  The new piano sample playback engine made it possible for us to extend the
note ranges for the piano instruments.
  e.. Piano release sounds
  The new piano sample playback engine also made it possible for us to
digitally model the sounds you get when you release keys on a piano
instrument. For example, the Clavinet and the Wurlitzer have very
characteristic key release sounds. In V2.0 this is very faithfully modeled!
  f.. Brand new piano samples
  The V2.0 Software Upgrade package comes with remade and improved piano
instruments that benefit from the new sample playback engine features! New
piano sounds are available now for download - free of charge!
  g.. USB download capability
  V2.0 fully supports USB download of new Electro piano samples. Now you
will be able to download new piano instrument samples using our specially
developed Electro Tool sample dump program for Mac and PC!
  h.. Improved effects in the Effects section
  V2.0 also features great new "vintage style" effects in the Effects
section. We also beefed up the the Overdrive distortion to sound more like
an overdriven tube amplifier.
  i.. Individual output routing for the Organ and Piano sections
  Now you can route the Organ and Piano sections to separate outputs! Great
if you want to process the instruments differently using external effects.
  j.. Adjustable key click level for the Organ sounds
  Now you can adjust the level of the modeled organ key click to suit your
taste.
