Re: Bad A4 tone in Silver Grand NP5 library

Thank you for the comment. It proves my ears and my monitors don't fool me. I am going to install L version as well to solve the problem. I suppose most Nord users don't use Silver Grand XL hence not many hear the problem.Thonolan wrote:Hi there,
I was reading this thread and I've just created an account in order to reply, since I've noticed myself something related to this response:
I don't have a Nord Piano 5 (my keyboard is a Stage 4), but I also noticed a weird sounding note after installing the XL version of the Silver Grand a few days ago. However, it wasn't the A4 but the G5! It sounded as if it was being hitted fortissimo all the time - not in overall volume, but in tone and color -, which was very annoying. So I substituted the XL version with the L and there you go: the bad note is gone and now every single key sounds even in volume and character. To my ears the L and XL versions sound pretty much the same otherwise when it comes to this particular piano (I hear subtle nut noticeable differences in other pianos, though), so I can certainly live with that and, as an additional bonus, I got extra space to install another grand piano, so all good. But I still think it's weird, because that specific note sounded way too different from the others to be explained as part of the sampled piano "character", in my view. It sounded plain wrong, not just slightly different.
