Description
Introducing the Nord Piano 5 73-Key Stage Piano, the latest edition in the award-winning Piano series. Furnished with dual piano engines and dual sample synths, it boasts double the memory of its predecessor. This musical marvel combines a top-tier Triple Sensor keybed with our exclusive Virtual Hammer Action Technology, delivering an extraordinary playing experience.
The Nord Piano 5 is not your ordinary stage piano. It comes packed with an astounding 9 Grands, 9 Uprights, 10 Electric Pianos, along with a Clavinet, Digital Pianos, and even a Marimba and Vibraphone. The Piano and Sample Synth sections each contain two independent Layers, allowing you to use two Pianos and two Sample Synths simultaneously in a variety of split or Layer configurations. This, coupled with the versatile effects routing, offers a broad spectrum of possible combinations - from classic ensemble settings to rich, modern soundscapes.
The Nord Piano 5's unique Virtual Hammer Action Technology, working in conjunction with the physical hammer movements, provides an exceptionally authentic and dynamic response. The keyboard action handles dynamic playing with incredible control at any velocity level. This piano also features Nord's exclusive Advanced String Resonance that accurately reproduces the complex interplay of the piano strings, adding the rich ambience of a real piano when playing with the pedal down.
