2019's Christmas present?
So far there's nothing new at the mothership. I hope this won't be the first year without new sounds for Christmas...

Re: 2019's Christmas present?
I am speculating here, so you've been warned.
I think the White Grand set a new standard in terms of popularity and playability. Many people here now consider it their "go to" AP, including me. Yes, the instrument was exceptional, but I also believe they used a new recording/sampling technique. I have no evidence to support this other than what my ears tell me. It just "plays better" than most of the other samples.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nord applied the improved approach to other classic grand piano instruments.
BTW, cool list ajstan. It looks quite impressive when you lay it out that way.

Re: 2019's Christmas present?
Thanks ajstan,
That's helpful to reference.
I am looking forward to testing out the White Grand with a band in the New Year.
I would hope Clavia have some EP's up their sleeve (or at least greater 'enhanced', as they did with some of them). Another super-duper Grand would also be welcomed...
