Pitch bend MIDI signal processing by the Nord Piano. Currently if you send a pitch bend via MIDI, Nord Piano ignores it. This is particularly disappointing in Nord Piano 2 which is capable of playing the Nord Sample library sounds which can be sometimes useless without a pitch bend. It should take just a software change to activate pitch bend processing via MIDI.

I do acoustic piano tuning and prefer "unequal temerament" and have my own offsets i use....so this option of user setting temperament (individual pitch setting for each note) would be a greatly desired option.

Hi Paul - finally someone else appreciating tunings! In principle, digital pianos are so much easier to tune than acoustic pianos, why not make a real feature out of it?! I could see a lot of experimental music, and even some more traditional playing, profiting from suitable (unequal) "well-temperaments" :) .

Don't know if this has been addressed with the NP2, but I find it stupid beyond belief that the 1/8" minijack input cannot be routed to the outputs. A great opportunity to perform with iPhone/iPod backing tracks ruined.

Also, more pp and ppp samples and wider velocity response.

I thought of another wish: Including FM ep samples. It's nice to have 6 different types of Rhodes, but I'd just as soon lose one or two and replace them with a usable DX7 ep and MKS20 ep. This would make the NP a little more versatile, as one of those in combination with chorus and reverb can quite convincingly substitute for pad sounds.

I want a lock panel, so when i am playing wildly - i dont accidently push any undesired buttons. This should be not to hard to implement with some combi key like SHIFT + PAGE or whatever.

Greets,

Copy/paste from the other thread:

I'm pretty satisfied with the sounds we have right now, BUT...

rather than still more acoustic piano and rhodes sounds, I think the NP88 would benefit tremendously from a few different timbres:

- FM EP: the infamous DX7 electric piano sound from the 80's
- MKS/JV EP: the 'Babyface' R&B sound from the 90's
- piano/pad: come on guys, it's a necessity for a PROFESSIONAL digital piano, at least it is here in LA.
- EP/pad: ditto.

Just four sounds, and the NP88's usefulness and versatility increases exponentially. With these extra sounds, it will be everything I need in a bottom tier board!

We got a wonderful present for this year's holidays - the Fazioli Italian Grand. Congratulations Clavia! :clap:
Once again the open concept of the Nords has proved to be the right way to go.

So where does that leave is with our wish list? As far as I am concerned the main wish for 2013 remains a better pianistic action.
On the software side, larger Rhodes samples (and, please, add alternative and user-defined tunings if at all possible...).

I have the two great instruments Nord Piano 1 and Nord Electro 3 in my rig. My NP1 was the local dealer's demo piano, and I got it for a really good price a week before NP2 was launched.
After a year of use, I wish the piano sound bank also included bell-sounds and chromatic percussion.
My NE3 has of course the sample bank, but from experience I often want to use vibraphone and bell sounds on the Nord Piano while playing organ on my Electro 3.
I cannot afford buying NP2 in the nearest future... Or is it somehow possible to get a vibraphone sample into my NP1?
In general I also wish there were more vibraphone and xylophone/glockenspiel samples in the sound bank.
