optimal feel and authenticityThe Nord Grand is the first stage piano from Nord to feature triple sensors that track the movements on the hammers rather than the keys to deliver the smooth dynamic touch of an acoustic grand.

The well balanced and responsive triple sensor keybed features an advanced mechanism to provide extraordinary control both when playing percussively as well as pianissimo with fluent repetitions and retriggering without lifting the key entirely. The Ivory Touch surface also gives the keybed an optimal feel and authenticity.

seamless operationThe Nord Grand has dedicated knobs and buttons for all essential functions required in a live performance situation. Creating Layers and Splits, adding effects or transposing the instrument can be accomplished on the fly. You get seamless transitions when changing programs while playing.

The two sound sections can be combined in a layer or split over the keyboard. Each of the sound sections can have specific effects, Volume Pedal and/or Sustain Pedal assigned to them.

The Nord Grand includes 7 Split Points indicated with LED lights and the Split Point Crossfades offers smooth transitions between two split zones. Choose from 3 different crossfade widths (Small, Large or Off) as indicated by different LED colours.

Factory BankThe Nord Grand factory bank includes 10 Grands, 9 Uprights, 10 Enhanced Electric Pianos, Clavinet, Digital Pianos and more from the exclusive Nord Piano Library - all handpicked for their unique character! Nord’s state-of-the-art sampling techniques capture the stunning nuances and real character of the source instruments with outstanding realism. All sounds can easily be replaced using the Nord Sound Manager. The exclusive Nord Piano Library is constantly updated with new unique world class sounds free of charge.

Advanced String ResonanceNord's unique Advanced String Resonance reproduces the intricate interplay of piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other notes are played on the Grand and Upright piano sounds. It also adds the rich resonant ambience of a real piano when playing with pedal down.

Creative Piano FiltersProviding an additional level of sonic control, the Piano Section features dedicated piano filters for Acoustic and Electric pianos accentuating softness, mid or brilliance. The EP filters also include unique Dyno filters based on the legendary preamp delivering the characteristic punchy, bell-like sound that was an essential part of the classic West Coast sound during the 70s and 80s.

Nord Triple Pedal with Dynamic Pedal NoiseThe included Nord Triple Pedal features Soft and Sostenuto Pedals along with a unique Dynamic Sustain Pedal. The Triple Pedal also enables the Pedal Noise feature that dynamically simulates the mechanical sounds of lifting and releasing the damper mechanism.

Soft ReleaseA Soft Release-mode adds a slightly longer release, more suitable for legato playing, emulating a looser damper tension in an acoustic or an electro mechanical instrument.

Keyboard Touch3 dynamic curves are available to suit your playing style, from Light to Heavy.

a broad selection of Strings, Brass, Synths, Choirs and moreThe huge selection of sounds from the Nord Sample Library 3.0 includes the exclusively licensed sounds of the legendary Mellotron and Chamberlin. All sounds can be quickly replaced using the Nord Sound Manager.
