Combined with the versatile effects routing, a wide range of combinations can be achieved - from classic ensemble settings to rich soundscapes.
The Nord Piano 5 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. Their 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.
The Sample Synth Section contains a completely reworked selection of high quality sounds from the Nord Sample Library including exclusively licensed sounds from the legendary Mellotron and Chamberlin as well as a selection of samples from the Symphobia and Swing! libraries by ProjectSAM. All sounds can be quickly replaced using the Nord Sound Manager. It also provides two fully-featured and independent Layers and is equipped with intuitive controls for attack, decay/release and dynamic velocity response. You can also create your own sample instruments using the unique free Nord Sample Editor software for Mac and Windows.
The Sample Synth Section also has a brand new Unison feature that creatively blends several sample voices for rich, ensemble-like sounds. It also features a "Tru-Vibrato" that accurately models the
unique vibrato characteristics of a wide variety of wind, brass and string instruments.
