Are there any good 3rd party sound libraries for the piano 5? I've seen a number of them for the Stage 3 but nothing much for the Piano 5. I'm looking for acoustic guitar sounds mainly. Can someone post some links to the libraries for the Piano 5?

Hi and welcome,

if you are looking for samples then Nord themselves provide a sound library for the Nord Piano 5 which includes guitar samples: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... library-40. These can be loaded into the sample synth section of the Piano to with the help of the Nord Sound Manager

I am not sure if the Nord Sound Manager is able to convert samples in the old .nsmp and .nsmp3 formats into the new .nsmp4 format which is used by the Piano 5, but if so that would give you access to the whole world of available samples for Nords, either here in the forum, the Nord User Sound database at https://nordusersounds.com/login or even commercial offers

I've gotten feedback that Nord Sound Manager converts my NSMP samples on this Forum successfully to NSMP4 format for the Piano 5. I am not sure about conversion of NSMP3 to NSMP4 but I would think that's an option as well. I'm not sure if a NSM bug has been fixed, however a while back if I simply selected a NSMP file for import into my Stage 3 (convert to NSMP3 format) I would get an error that it's the wrong format, however if I clicked on the NSMP file and dragged it to the sample location I wanted it, I would get a message saying it was the wrong format but be offered the option to convert it to NSMP3. Take care.
