Models
The original Nord Electro was released in 2001. It contained emulations of a Hammond B3 as well as samples of a Rhodes Stage 73, a Wurlitzer electric piano, a Hohner Clavinet and an acoustic grand piano.
The Electro was released in 61- and 73-key versions as well as a rack version, which featured all the same knobs as the keyboard versions.
In 2005 the Nord Electro 2 was released. It contained new and updated software, but the electronics were identical to the original Electro. (In fact the original Electro could be updated to the Electro 2 software giving it the same functionality as the Electro 2.) Like the original Electro, the Electro 2 was also released in 61- and 73-key versions as well as a rack version.
In 2009 the Nord Electro 3 was released. It expands the functionality of the Nord Electro 2 with Farfisa and Vox organ emulations as well as improved B3 emulation and more effects. It also includes samples from the Mellotron library and support for the entire Nord Sample Library. It was released only in 61- and 73-key versions.
In 2011 the Nord Electro 3 HP was released, which replaces the organ-style semi-waterfall keys of the original models with a 73-key hammer-action keyboard.
In 2012 the Nord Electro 4D was released, which replaces the digital organ drawbars of prior models with physical drawbar sliders and has updated Hammond B3 emulation. It has a 61-key organ-style semi-waterfall keyboard.
Later in 2012 the Nord Electro 4 HP was released. It is like the Electro 4D except that it has the digital drawbars of the Electro 3 and earlier, and it has a 73-key hammer-action keyboard like the Electro 3 HP.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
