THE PLAN SECTION
This section now features two sound generators that can be used simultaneously in Layer or Split . For example, you can overlap an upright piano with an electric one, or split the keyboard playing with two different acoustic pianos, or all other possible combinations. All factory sounds have been carefully selected base on their character from the renowned NORD Piano Library , a high-level musical resource, available free of charge to all users, regularly updated with sounds of unique character. Like all NORD keyboards, Piano 5 can also be reconfigured base to personal needs via the Sound Manager , a practical software that is simple and intuitive to use.
Advanced String Resonance
Reproduces the complex sympathetic resonance interaction between the strings of an acoustic piano that occurs when the Damper pedal is depressed and all dampers are raised.
Nord Triple Pedal with Dynamic Pedal Noise
Via the Nord Triple Pedal you can enable the Pedal Noise function which simulates under dynamic control the characteristic sound produced by releasing the dampers.
Notable features of the Piano section
- 2 independent Piano Layers
- Double the size of RAM memory
- 120 Voices of Polyphony
- Piano Timbre options including Dyno filters
- 3 Dynamic response curves
- Dynamic Pedal Noise with Nord Triple Pedal

- Personal configuration of internal sounds via the Sound Manager
SAMPLE SYNTH SECTION
In this section too, it is possible to superimpose two sounds at the same time, while the memory area has also been doubled to accommodate an even larger and more detailed sound database.
This area of the instrument comes pre-loaded with high-quality, carefully selected sounds from the Nord Sample Library , including the legendary Mellotron and Chamberlin sounds, samples from Symphobia and Swing, libraries from ProjectSAM and can also be configured base your personal needs with the Nord Sound Manager . You can also import your own samples using the handy free Nord Sample Editor software (Win/Mac).
Sample/Synth also features some basic but essential controls for shaping the sound, such as Attack, Decay/release, and dynamic response,
Unison and Tru-Vibrato
These new features have been implemented:
- Unison : Allows you to produce very rich and dynamic ensemble sounds
- Tru-Vibrato: Realistically simulates the vibrato characteristics produced by real instruments such as Woodwinds, Brass, and Strings
Sample/Synth Section Highlights
- 2 independent Sample Synth Layers
- Double the size of RAM memory
- Soft and Bright Filters
