Ah ok. Thanks.
Hoping they add the release sounds at some point. Love having those when playing funky clav stuff

It would be good for sure, but meantime we should be able to groove also without
PS: no, it's not me, of course

From my past NS2 : , program from Matt Cossey if I remember correctly, or from here. I think I only added bass under the brass for fun as the title say

An old thread I know but do you know how they did it on the harpsichord sound? Would love to add a release sound to my clav sounds on the NS4 ....
This is totally embedded in the piano lib only on that sound, no custom option at all.
I don't have a Nord to try this, but perhaps with a Stage you could layer one of the muted harpsichord samples with the clav to get the releases? Of course the sound would change too but since you'd normally run clavs through an amp model and other effects it could work...

Yes, some people did that using the Italian Harpsichord Lute sample.

Please, excuse me for my ignorance.
On a Harpsichord, there are picks that strike cords like a guitar.
So when a key is pressed, there is a sound of the pick striking downward a cord, and when the key is released, there is another sound of the pick striking upward.
From my understanding, on a clavinet, there are small hammers that strike cords.
So I don't understand why there should be release sounds like on a harpsichord.

Similarly, people have often played out of tune pianos, but what was once a flaw can, in some circumstances, now be seen as desirable (e.g. a "honky tonk" piano patch).

Some other examples of this trend: pitch drift in synthesizers, wow and flutter modulation in tape delays, and the LoFi vinyl effects. These were all things that at one point were viewed as undesireable.

It's been years since I bought my D6 Clavinet, however I recall the sound of the string being dampened at the end, not a noise as described in the article of a faulty hammer. I sold it after about 5 years, so maybe not a lot of time for it to develop a "classic" flaw. +1 on a new Clavinet with maybe a choice, as I'd prefer simply the sound of the string being dampened at the end.
