But this is only for a few sounds. All the organs, synths, grand pianos, upright pianos etc. sound fine.

Also, new insight on this issue: these digital/electric sounds that are the issue have no sound with Unison off but if you switch to any of the settings (1-3) they sound.

This is a strange issue but please, and as mentioned by others here already, test with headphones connected directly to the Nord, not with mixer/amplification connected and then report here if the issue persists

Finally got some headphones (wow is the sound great with good headphones). The issue DOES happen with headphones. Still strange because it's only a handful of sounds that are off and some I played for a long time with no artifacts.

And they all seem to be in the piano partition (which I did reformat to see if that cured the issue)

If so you may have a malfunction of the Piano memory or DSP (there is a dedicated one per Engine) -> send it to assistance for diagnosis
