Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

Any way to have that chart as a word, excel or some other formatted method? I would love to save that for future reference

FZiegler wrote:Maybe true everything, but as a beginner, I would like to know a little more especially about the miking and the optimal uses. I find the given names quite helpful for a first impression and somewhat cute, but don't like them much - I'm coming from classical music, and it makes my stomach rumbling having to play just a "white", a "bright" or a "queen" piano - not to mention "velvet" which I don't like as a feeling at all. And as there are words to discern the different sounds, I would appreciate having other connotations for those sounds.

I fully understand that Clavia may not be allowed to mention the names of the instruments as far as it is a branding thing. But we should be allowed to share real names if we have hints, don't we?

I guess that as soon as my ears will recognize the sounds, I won't need the names any more - but at the moment, I think I do. And maybe, I will even then say "the 2019 Steinway approach" instead of "White Grand".

BTW: What do you think about a "knowledge base" in the forum where faq info is stored? I think I sometimes came across such piano info on the forum but couldn't find that again - even with the search function. I also had to find out about the way the Stage 3 is handling sound names. Could have been easier if you know that (trunking the version no. with space before).

Edit: Sorry, there is one - I hadn't noticed, or forgotten.

(Table here)

I won't label the timbre of the APs because this will schedule too much. Besides, all information given at the moment is available through hints that anyone can get with a Nord under his/her fingers.
I’ve been looking for this detailed list since I got my NP4, thank you so much.

Great chart! The Petrof is a model 132, according to Nord's site:

>Our Black Upright is a Petrof 132 upright piano.<

The Bambino really helped when I had to prepare for playing a spinet at a venue. It's so different that it throws me off sometimes!

Fazioli I'm certain is the F228 model.

There is a clue on the website in that Nord describe it as a 'medium sized grand piano' and the library picture looks like its lifted from the Fazioli website of the F228 :) All other pictures of the various models differ in proportions from the library picture.

I feel like it would be great if this thread was moved to the General forum, as it's not Stage-specific at all and surely others who don't own a stage may be curious about this and not think to look here...

Good idea. I've always been updating the table from time to time and intend to rewrite it once those v.6.x issues from the product recovery packs are sorted out.
