Hey there,

I find that the difference in sound is so small from LRG to XL that I'd rather have several LRG than only two XL. Seriously, I believe it may be only something psychological than something real. I think it affects you more the action you have (HA or SW) than the size of the sample. When I play with my NS2 SW with XL samples it sounds less real than with my NS88 classic with a LRG one.

Saludos,
Gustavo

I seem to remember reading somewhere (in the Nord site?) that in L and XL the quality of the recording and layers are the same, there is a difference in where string resonance is mapped to.

I believe that what Mr G says is almost correct. From the Nord Webpage:

The Extra Large versions are fully mapped accross the keyboard which increases the size a bit. The velocity layers are the same as on the other sizes.
The Large versions have String Resonance samples all across the keyboard, providing you with a very full sound.


Meaning that the XL really has one sample per key. But if the mapping was done correctly and the piano was in tune, you shouldn't really tell the difference.

Still the upgrade to NS2 is definitely worth it. I went from 1 YamBright SML, 1 QueenUpright SML, 2 EPS, 1 Wurly, 1 Clav, 1 Harpsichord to 3 LRG Grands + CP80, 2 Med Uprights, 6 EPs, 1 Wurly, 1 Clav and I still have some mb to spare.

Saludos,
Gustavo
