[3] It also has some unusual features designed to make the piano sounds more realistic, such a simulation of unplayed strings resonating in sympathy with the played strings, and samples of the pedal noises.
The main differences are that the Nord Piano 2 adds a second section of samples dedicated to playing non-piano samples either layered with the piano sounds or by splitting the keyboard.
[5] At the 2016 NAMM Show Clavia launched the Nord Piano 3, which includes an improved 88-key keybed and an expanded memory (1 GB dedicated to piano samples, with 256 MB dedicated to additional samples).
[6] The Nord Piano 4 was introduced physically at MusicMesse 2018[7] and on the web on April 11, 2018 by the manufacturer.
Some of the improvements to the previous model include: 120 voice polyphony, creative piano filters, seamless transitions, 7 split points with optional split point crossfades, a doubled 512 MB memory for the sample synth section, refined organize mode, and a numeric pad mode for direct program access.
