Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.
Imho it‘s a shame that there‘s only one clavinet sample. I‘d really like to see further Hohner D6 samples with the clavinet‘s damper slider set to full and set to 50%. Shouldn‘t be a big thing for Nord.
Furthermore a finger damped grand piano sample would be highly appreciated...
A note from another angle, not answering the main question, though:
dexibell recently released a new virtual instrument T2L Electric Piano where you can find various modifications of the basic EP - Clav - Wurli sound types.
The current Clavinet sample was released by Nord in May, 2010. There may have been a software upgrade to version 6.1 to accommodate newer keyboard architecture, but no new instrument was sampled. Based on this length of time, it's unlikely Clavia has any intention of providing a new sample.
The Wurlitzer has suffered the same fate. At one point they modified the two samples to utilize DYN features on the keyboard, which helped quite a bit...but the samples themselves are from 2009 and 2013.
Not that anyone cares, but all the Harpischords are from 2010 too. The Electric Grand from 2011.
