Electronic Body Music combines elements of industrial music with influences of popular electronic dance music. The source of the term "EBM" is attributed to the German music group Kraftwerk, who used it to describe their album 1978, The Man-Machine. Other e-groups early 1980s, soon began using the term.

During the 1980s a number of bands EBM Europe increased close to the general popularity. Among them, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and Die Krupps. In North America the genre has remained relatively obscure but still under the influence of traditional groups such as Nine Inch Nails (especially their first album, "Head Like A Hole"), among others.

The sound is typical EBM characterized by minimal synthesizer lines and rhythm combined with "clean" production techniques. In the late 1980s and early the 1990s many prominent groups EBM have expanded their musical styles beyond the relatively limited scope of EBM by integrating guitars and that electro-industrial sounds. However, since the late 1990s and early 2000s EBM has again seen a rise in popularity with the emergence new EBM bands.

Music Gear important in the early years of EBM, including units such as the Korg MS-20, Roland SH-101 and the series E-mu Emulator sampler. The equipment used by modern musicians EBM shows how virtual modeling synthesizers and synthesis Software has become: the virus access, Clavia Nord Lead and Roland JP-8000 are the synthesizers material widely used in EBM groups in addition software such as Native Instruments Absynth and FM7.

Some of the most popular musicians on the scene today EBM VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Covenant, And One and wumpscut. The bands and their audiences are centered in northern Europe and North America, with small stages around the world.

Nord Wave Wavetable Synthesizer $2399 The Nord Wave PCM-based synthesizer from Clavia closes the gap between analog and digital. Now you can use digital samples in a virtual analog environment. That means that you can take a sampled sound and tweak it into something completely different in realtime. You now have the full expressiveness of the classic analog synthesizer combined with sample technology available at your fingertipsall in a top quality, user-friendly, lightweight package.The Nord Wave has a classic analog synthesizer set-up with filters, LFO's and envelopes plus a massive oscillator section capable of producing classic analog waveformes (with sync), FM-synthesis, wavetables, sampled waves (wavetable with attack), noise and other miscellaneous waveforms as well as--yes--samples. Plus, oscillator modulation allows you to modulate one oscillator with the other; for instance an FM-sound modulated by a sampled sound--the character of the sample is applied to the FM sound.Following in the tradition of the renowned Nord Lead series, the Wave incorporates the Lead's virtual analog synthesis, FM synthesis, and a fully-integrated wavetable engine. These can be used separately or together, allowing users to create sounds that are a step above sample-playback. The Wave features high-quality wavetables generated by Clavia, and using the USB port, users can download and install extra wave files from Clavia, as well as load their own custom waves using an integrated Editor. The Wave features new multi-filtering technology which includes a formant filter, and uses two slots for toggling between sounds, or layering them for even more complex sound.Every sample in the nord wave can be replaced. You can use your own samples--simply map any standard .wav-file in the nord wave manager software (for Windows and OS X) and transfer via USB.The exclusive Clavia hardware and software design brings you response times from note-on to sounding output like no other. The ultra-low latency simply does not compare to other hardware or especially software products. Weighing only 6Kg (14 pounds) it is the kind of instrument you easily carry with you and really will not notice. Until you plug it in. Sampled waveforms: Oscillators can now use full waveforms--not single wavetables, while still routing through fully analog circuitry. Oscillator models: Virtual analog, FM, wavetable, sample-playback can be applied in combination (which I hear is all the rage these days). And you can load in custom waveforms, as well, via fully user-definable memory areas (so you can delete samples you hate). Clavia even promises it will offer additional, free waves on their website. An included software sample editor lets you tweak samples. Morphing: Morph almost any parameter via mod wheel, expression, velocity, or pitch, with assignable morph scenarios and morph timelines. Filters: 24db analog-modeled resonant filters, low-, high-, band-pass filters with envelope and velocity control, combinations of filter types, and form

Nord Electro 2 Package $1369 This keyboard package includes a 61-key Nord Electro 2 Stage Piano/Organ, an X keyboard stand, and a folding X-style keyboard bench. The Nord Electro 2 keyboard delivers with excellent organ and piano emulations, and 61 velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted waterfall keys that are perfect for those B-3 slides. The deluxe X stand, feaures the quikSQUEEZE adjustment system, so you can adjust the height from 27" to 39", and the width from 11" to 31". The 250 lb. capacity keyboard bench is thickly padded, with a folding X-style frame that is adjustable from 17"to 19".Nord Electro 2 61-key Stage Piano/OrganThe remarkably light Nord Electro 2 Sixty-One Stage Piano/Organ is a perfect gig rig. 61 velocity-sensitive semi-weighted waterfall keys and only 17 pounds. The best emulations of traditional electromechanical keyboard instruments ever.The organ in the Electro 2 keyboard is based on the digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ and it offers a number of very innovative solutions to mimic the B-3 sound. Such innovations include complex digital modeling of the original B3 chorus and vibrato scanner, simulation of the individual random contact bounces for each partial, and simulation of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in preamplifier which forms the body of the B-3 sound. The drawbars are represented by up/down buttons and LED bar graphs. So when you change presets, the correct drawbar settings are shown immediately by the LEDs, avoiding the need for trial and error.The piano section comprises several carefully multisampled electric piano instruments. As a bonus, it also includes an acoustic grand piano. The piano sounds are built up by a vast number of multisamples to catch every nuance from soft to hard hits. USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds. Very flexible effects section including a rotary speaker simulation.
