The latest edition to Nord's award-winning Piano series is equipped with dual piano engines, dual sample synths and twice the memory of the previous generation. With the combination of a premium Triple Sensor keybed and exclusive Virtual Hammer Action Technology, the portable Nord Piano 5 delivers an exceptional playing experience.
The Piano and Sample Synth sections of the Nord Piano 5 each contain two independent Layers. The two Pianos and two Sample Synths can be used simultaneously in a variety of split or Layer configurations. Combined with the versatile effects routing, a wide range of combinations can be achieved - from classic ensemble settings to rich soundscapes. The LED equipped Level controls allow for quick and precise balancing of all Layer volume levels. A Volume Pedal and/or Sustain Pedal can be assigned to each Layer.
The Nord Piano 5 features seamless transitions for glitch free changing of sounds or programs while playing. The factory bank contains 9 Grands, 9 Uprights, 10 Enhanced Electric Pianos, Clavinet, Digital Pianos, Marimba, Vibraphone and much more from the exclusive Nord Piano Library - all carefully selected for their unique character! Nord’s state-of-the-art sampling technology capture the extraordinary nuances and real character of the source instruments. The exclusive Nord Piano Library is regularly updated with new unique world class sounds, and always free of charge. All sounds are easily replaced using the Nord Sound Manager.
UPDATE: Nord is proud to release the Stockholm EP - a vintage electric piano with exceptional sound and detail! The Stockholm EP is a classic 1976 Mark I Stage EP, delivering both a fat, round bottom with well balanced bells, as well as a more barky and shallow sound when hit hard. With its exceptional dynamic range and very versatile voicing the Stockholm EP is Nord's most detailed electric piano yet, being equally at home in soft and singing ballads or in harder, funkier styles. The Stockholm EP requires the latest OS Updates and is compatible with Nord Stage 4/3/2 EX/2, Nord Piano 5/4/3, Nord Electro 6/5 and Nord Grand. Click HERE to download.
