Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
Yeah I have almost exclusively piano samples (not NPNO) and samples that complement the Nord Piano lIbrary, in the synth section of my NP2. I have other soft synths for everything else so I have customized my NP2 into pretty much pianos only. Even then I do layer VSTs onto the Nord.

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
This is incredible! Seriously, thank you so much. I have been trying to get the exact keyboard sound that Brent Midland of the Grateful Dead used - it is the MKS20 Piano 3. Thank you again.

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
These are some really good sounds. I really like the MKS20 A.Pianos. If not for this forum, I would have never known they existed. It's a shame they were deleted from the official site, but good to know they live on here.
Thanks for preserving them.

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
That looks like the synth samples secret page, you can't find it in the official page but there is a link for it somewhere in this forum. It's a pity that such a treasure of sounds is not available for everyone...at least not without some digging!

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
I don't think that these are available on the "secret" sample page, as far as I know these have not been officially released by Nord, so I doubt they would be available at all on Nord's website.

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
Yes, there was never an official explanation, but the history is that Nord announced some "gospel" piano samples, mentioning Roland's classic digital piano sounds (MKS-20, MKS-80, JP-800 etc).
In a matter of days the news was taken down and the samples were never released, instead we got some anonymous "layer" pianos which obviously carry some Roland heritage but without any explicit name, and layered with pads or something to make them not exactly the same as the vintage tones.
A few months later, some adventurous forum member tried searching the web combining Clavia's "download" page address with the names of Roland's pianos, and BINGO! the unreleased pianos appeared and were shared in the forum. A short while later, Nord took notice and inactivated the hidden links.
As mentioned, the whole thing was never explained, but the forum's interpretation is that Roland enforced the removal of samples taken of from its copyrighted material.
It seems a plausible explanation, because Roland is the brand which defends more aggressivley its legacy intellectual property. See the infamous case of Behringer copying the whole line of Boss pedals (Boss and Roland are the same thing), and also that among the onslaught of recent Behringer clones, the ones of vintage Roland synths are the only ones which don't use the original name...

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
Just wondering if I was to buy the latest Nord Electro or Stage, would these Gospel NPNO work still? Many thanks

Re: Gospel Keys (.npno)
Yes these should work, the format is nord's "standard" samples for their piano section
