Description
The Nord Electro 7 HP is a lightweight, stage-ready performance keyboard that brings together Nord’s latest piano technology, the acclaimed organ engine and a powerful new synth section in one streamlined instrument. With its responsive 73-note Kawai Triple Sensor Hammer Action Portable keybed, physical drawbars, dedicated per-section effects and a crisp colour display, it is built to handle demanding live sets while keeping your workflow fast and intuitive.
At the heart of the Electro 7 HP is a refined panel layout that makes it easy to split and layer sounds, tweak effects on the fly and stay in control under stage lights. The upgraded synth section introduces samples, analogue-style waveforms and FM synthesis, opening up a huge palette of textures alongside the already impressive pianos and organs. Whether you are covering classic rock, soul, pop or modern worship, the Electro 7 HP is designed to be the only keyboard you need to take to the gig.
The organ section is taken directly from the Nord Organ 3, with B3, B3 Bass, Vox, Farfisa, Soft B3 and Pipe organ models plus the same detailed rotary speaker emulation. Physical drawbars with LEDs give you instant, tactile control of your tone, while three virtual mic positions for the rotary let you tailor your sound to sit perfectly in the mix. Combined with the new spring reverb and updated amp models, it is easy to dial in everything from subtle warmth to full-on vintage grit.
For pianists, the Electro 7 HP is compatible with the Nord Piano Library, giving access to an ever-growing collection of meticulously sampled grands, uprights and electric pianos. Dynamic Compression, Unison and Timbre controls let you fine-tune how these instruments respond to your playing, ensuring they feel alive under your fingers. The Kawai hammer action keybed strikes a balance between authentic piano feel and portability, making it ideal for players who need a convincing piano action without the weight of a full-size stage piano.
The new synth section adds serious flexibility for modern players. With support for Nord Sample Library sounds, analogue-style waveforms and FM synthesis, you can cover pads, leads, basses and more without reaching for an external synth. A dedicated low-pass filter with resonance, dual envelopes and Unison mode make it easy to sculpt everything from subtle layers to bold, cutting tones. Mono, Legato and Glide modes, plus a dedicated vibrato with adjustable rate, amount and delay, give you expressive control for melodic lines and atmospheric textures.
Each sound section has its own dedicated effects, so you can independently shape your pianos, organs and synths without compromise. Modulation effects feature separate Rate and Amount controls for quick, musical adjustments, while a global reverb with per-layer send ensures your sounds sit together naturally. The result is a compact, focused instrument that gives you the depth of a multi-keyboard rig with the simplicity and reliability of a single, well-designed board.
Refined Interface and Colour Display
The Electro 7 HP features a redesigned panel with a large high-resolution colour display, making it easy to navigate sounds, splits and layers even on dark stages. Clear visual feedback speeds up set-up and sound selection, so you can focus on playing rather than menu diving.
Nord Organ 3 Engine with Physical Drawbars
With B3, B3 Bass, Vox, Farfisa, Soft B3 and Pipe organ models from the Nord Organ 3, plus physical drawbars with LEDs, the Electro 7 HP delivers authentic organ tone and hands-on control. The integrated rotary speaker emulation with three mic positions lets you shape your organ sound to fit any band or venue.
Expressive Piano Section with Nord Piano Library Support
Compatibility with the Nord Piano Library gives you access to a wide range of premium acoustic and electric pianos. Features like Dynamic Compression, Unison and Timbre controls allow you to tailor the response and character of each instrument, helping your piano parts cut through or blend in as needed.
Powerful Synth Section for Modern Sounds
The new synth section combines samples, analogue-style waveforms and FM synthesis with a flexible filter, dual envelopes and Unison mode. Mono, Legato and Glide options, plus an adjustable vibrato, provide expressive control, making it easy to create everything from lush pads to punchy leads within the same instrument.
