Introducing Nord Piano 6!

Post by Nordine »

The latest generation of the Nord Piano series features a new panel design with LED faders, dual layers for Piano and Synth with independent effects, and a premium Triple Sensor keybed. Combined with excellent portability and our world-class sounds, the Nord Piano 6 offers great flexibility for performance and sound creation.

This is non sense.
The bigger feature improvement is a painted 6 instead of a 5 and nearly 1kg of weight increase?
And promotion video with the 8 years old Amber upright?
Gambold please say something!

WTF

Nice additions but this was not needed so soon after the release of the Piano 5.

Where's the new Electro??!! That needs an upgrade more than the Piano 5 did!

Yes, although it’s quite consequent to implement the "good new stuff" also in the Piano line, other products would have a much higher importance to the market. Surely, Electro 7 would be sold in much larger quantities, and a new Lead is overdue.

I guess, the development effort for the Piano 6 was comparatively low: it’s the core of the Grand 2 in a modifed Piano 5 housing.

Huh? More & new effects, now per instrument (so x4), two synths instead of one, now with ASR envelope, plus the other new details that come with the sample format…

What were you expecting?

I mean, obviously, people are wanting a new Electro 7, but given that this is a Nord Piano — what more do you want?

I can't find the "Layer detune" option within the specs. - Oh, it's just renamed into "Unison".

But if I compare the panel more closely, I can't find the 'Soft release' anymore.
