Hello moonglum,
I've had my Electro5 for several months.
From day one I have been unhappy about the 'String hiss'.
And yes, it's very obvious in the top 3 octaves (top 2.5 octaves on my Electro5).

Not unique to just String samples.
Can also be heard on some of this Forum's user-samples.
Makes me wonder where the problem lies !

Here's two samples that seem better regarding hiss:-

Strings Ensemble__Korg ste 2.0
Already installed by Nord on my new Electro 5.

Fullstrings2 Miroslav.nsmp
Which can be found on the Nord User Forum

Cheers

I’ve noticed some hiss/noise on various samples as well. Honestly, I get too engaged with my Stage 3 to let it really bother me. LOL. I wonder if onboard filtering, etc could help or is it just something that can’t be removed from the samples.

I agree about the annoying weird "white noise" distortion on the NS3's best string sample (IMHO) in the high register. My old NS2 had a little noise in the same sample but my new NS3 has much more. Too bad Nord had to alter that sample a bit. I can live with it cause I just use the strings as a layer over various piano patches so it's not super noticeable on live gigs. For recordings I would just use my Hollywood Strings library. The countless other amazing features of my NS3 outweigh any little flaws like this in my opinion.

I'm so used to rosin noise on real violins, that a little bit of white noise seems natural. Almost gives it an extra "airiness".
