CLAVIA DMI AB CLAVIA NORD Piano 2 HA88 [13/27] Acoustics

Acoustics

1 Turn off the Sample Synth and select a Grand piano by pressing

the Piano Type selector.

2 Press the Acoustics button to turn on the String Resonance func-

tionality if it is not active already.

3 Play and hold a chord with your left hand, and while the sound

decays, play some staccato notes with your right hand. You can

hear that some of the new notes excites the held notes, making

them “ring” in a sympathetic resonance.

String Resonance is the acoustic phenomenon that occurs when

strings, resonate at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when

other strings are played.

When this functionality is turned on, all notes you play will affect each

other to reproduce the wonderful acoustics that occurs inside an

acoustic grand or upright piano.

Kbd Touch settings

The Nord Piano 2 is equipped with three additional Kbd Touch settings.

Some of the piano instruments in the Nord Piano 2 have very wide

dynamic ranges by nature and we wanted to capture this as accurately

as possible.

However, If you want the piano sounds to respond differently to key-

board velocity, you can set this with the Kbd Touch feature.

When the LEDs are off, the default setting is active. Should you wish to

reach the maximum velocity with a little less effort, press the Kbd Touch

button so that the “1” LED is lit. If you press the button again, the “2”

LED will be lit, making it even easier to reach the maximum velocity.

The third setting is quite the opposite; it will require more effort to

reach the maximum velocity. This may suit those of you with a harder

playing style. This setting can also be useful if you need more expres-

siveness when playing with softer velocities.
