Nord Piano 88 Introduced at Winter NAMM
Nord is introducing the new Nord Piano 88 at Winter NAMM, which starts tomorrow. This is a dedicated stage piano with 88 keys and a weighted hammer action, designed with the performing musician in mind and lightweight at approx. 18 kg (39.6 lbs).
The Nord Piano comes equipped with several acoustic and electric pianos and harpsichords. Other pianos are available as free downloads from the Nordkeyboards.com website. The sounds are stored in a Flash memory with a 512 MB capacity. As always with Nord downloads, the sounds are available for free and easily exchanged by using the Nord Sound Manager application, which runs on Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 computers.
The Nord Piano can use the new Nord Piano pedal, providing the functionality of all the three pedals found on an acoustic grand piano. The Nord Piano pedal functionality have been closely modeled to allow you to ”play the pedal” in the same fashion as on an acoustic grand.
Nord Piano 88 has built-in effects (tremolo, pan, auto-wah, phaser, flanger, chorus), three-band equalizer with sweep-able mid, and speaker models (Small, JC or Twin) which reproduce the overdrive response of different amp/cabinet combinations.
