With the combination of a premium Triple Sensor keybed and Nord's exclusive Virtual Hammer Action Technology, the portable Nord Piano 5 delivers an exceptional playing experience.

Features:

• Advanced String Resonance 

Our unique Advanced String Resonance accurately reproduces the complex interplay of the piano strings and also adds the rich ambience of a real piano when playing with the pedal down.

• Nord Triple Pedal with Dynamic Pedal Noise

The Nord Triple Pedal includes Soft and Sostenuto Pedals in addition to a unique Dynamic Sustain Pedal. The Triple Pedal also enables our Pedal Noise feature that dynamically simulates the mechanical sounds of lifting and releasing the damper mechanism.

• Creative Piano Filters 

The dedicated piano filters provide an additional level of sonic control, accentuating softness, mid or brilliance for the acoustic uprights and grands. The electric pianos have tailored filters that even include emulations of the legendary Dyno preamp.

• Dynamic Compression 

The new Dynamic Compression feature balances the sound level without altering the character of the piano sound.

• Soft Release

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

• Keyboard Touch

Three KB Touch options are available to suit your playing style, from heavy to light.

PERFORMANCE

• Two independent pianos and Sample Synths 
• The Piano and Sample Synth sections of the Nord Piano 5 each contain two independent Layers. The two Pianos and two Sample Synths can be used simultaneously in a variety of split or Layer configurations. Combined with the versatile effects routing, a wide range of combinations can be achieved - from classic ensemble settings to rich soundscapes. The LED equipped Level controls allow for quick and precise balancing of all Layer volume levels. A Volume Pedal and/or Sustain Pedal can be assigned to each Layer.
• Live focused design 
• The Nord Piano 5 has dedicated dials and buttons for full hands-on control during a live performance. Transposing, setting up a split point or creating a layered sound can be accomplished instantly. 
• Seamless Transitions
• The Nord Piano 5 features seamless transitions for glitch free changing of sounds or programs while playing.

PIANO SECTION
