CLAVIA DMI AB CLAVIA NORD Piano 2 HP [5/27] About the nord piano 2
The Instrument
To make a great tool we believe that you have to put all the focus on a
few important things and that is exactly what we have tried to achieve
with the Nord Piano 2. A great piano sound and maximum expressive-
ness, true feel, with a natural keyboard response and authentic sound
quality combined with a Sample Synth and some great effects makes
for an inspirational instrument that we hope you will use and enjoy for
a long time.
Let’s look at some of the key features:
Piano Library
The Nord Piano 2 is compatible with the piano sounds in the Nord
Piano Library. We have spent a lot of time and effort in creating our
best piano sounds ever, to match the features available in the Nord
Piano 2.
The piano sounds are included on the DVD and are organized in cat-
egories and in some cases available in various sizes (for the acoustic
grand pianos and uprights). New sounds will be available free of charge
on the www.nordkeyboards.com website.
Small, Medium, Large & Xtra Large
All sizes share the same amount of velocity layers, and the Small,
Medium and Large (Sml, Med & Lrg) have same number of zones that
are mapped across the keyboard. This means that you can rely on a
consistent quality in regards to the playability and expressiveness in the
basic sound of every piano, no matter what size you choose to install in
your Nord Piano Library compatible unit.
Small are the pianos that uses the least amount of space in the piano
memory, but still carry a big and powerful punch. This version does
not contain any String Resonance samples at all. If a Small piano is
selected in the Nord Piano 2, the String Resonance feature will be
disabled.
The Medium versions have pedal-down String Resonance samples in
the important middle region of the range, but omit these in the lowest
and the highest areas. This gives you a good ratio between functional-
ity and size.
The Large versions have the pedal-down String Resonance samples all
across the keyboard, providing you with the fullest of sounds, but also
the largest size.
Some of the pianos are also available as Xtra Large (XL) versions.
These versions provide an increased sound quality and expressiveness
as they are fully mapped across an 88-note keyboard. Every key has its
own samples.
String Resonance
String Resonance is the acoustic phenomenon that occurs inside an
acoustic piano or grand when strings, or parts of strings, resonate
at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are
played.
When this functionality is turned on while using the Nord Piano 2’s
acoustic pianos, all notes you play will affect each other to reproduce
the wonderful acoustics that occurs inside an acoustic grand or upright
piano.
String Resonance is also very noticeable if you use the sustain pedal
with the String Resonance feature enabled, on any Medium, Large or
Xtra Large acoustic pianos. The notes that you play will have a beautiful
sound quality to them, when all the un-dampened strings resonate as
you play sustained notes.
String Resonance also feature a crescendo effect. If you play the same
key repeatedly with the same force, the sound will change. This is
originally caused by the hammers hitting the vibrating string in various
phases, and creates a nice, gentle fluctuation in volume and timbre in
the Nord Piano 2.
Sample Synth
The Sample Synth in the Nord Piano 2 allows you to layer a second
sound on top of the pianos, or to split the keyboard in two halves,
with one sound in each half. The Nord Piano 2 is delivered with many
acoustic and electric sounds that supplement the piano sounds.
You will find various types of strings and pads that can be used to
create lush layers. Organs, mallets and synthesizer sounds expand
the keyboard capabilities of the instrument and a selection of basses
makes it easy to create dual-instrument performances with left-hand
bass and right hand backing chords.
All the sounds in the sample memory can be replaced if you want.
This is done by using the Nord Sound Manager, with some very user-
friendly methods that are explained in the Sound Manager chapter
in this manual. There are many samples to choose from. When this
manual was printed the Nord Sample Library contained more than one
thousand samples.
The samples can be found on the Nord Sample Library DVD that was
delivered in the box with the instrument. When new samples become
available, they are published on the www.nordkeyboards.com web site,
where you can download every sample in the Nord Sample Library to
your computer, free of charge.
