I do have the v.5 samples on my PC - no problem. But I don't like the idea that they don't provide them any more.

If you want to seriously use those sounds, you need all registers or none.

Agree, don't like that too

I see them all still there https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/pi ... rpsichord/ (click on Download button to see the list)

But I have to say that the new Web UI that pushes the user to select by product can be confusing, I have bookmarked the main library page instead https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/piano-library/

EDIT: it seems that it works only if you first select Nord Stage Classic as product.

They provide the audio examples for all of the French models, but if you go to "Download" it offers you the French 1D only

Edit: same for the Italian, just 1B and 1D available for download but 1A and 1C as audio examples available

Not really, if you click on the red "Download French Harpsichord" button you get this popup from which you can download each .npno (I just tried to download the 1F)

That's strange,

I get a popup with just the French 1D for download:

Looks like you're a premium Nord webpage user and I'm not


Edit: I think I found the issue - it depends on which instrument you chose on the initial Nord Piano Library page. If I select the Stage Ex it provides me the list of all downloads as Version 5, same as you got. When I chose for example the Stage 3 I get just the 1D in Version 6

Well, on the new web site, you always need to set your model. Whenever I select a recent model that supports both v.5 and v.6 piano samples, I only get the (rare) v.6.x harpsichords. I only get the (full set of) v.5 harpsichords if I select Electro 3 of 4 or other older models!

This is probably not how the web site should react. Obviously needs some revision.

But thanks for testing to you both!

Right, which is why I saved the direct link to the main Nord Piano Library page https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/piano-library/ so what i do is: I select no product at all and jump to that page where I see all files

(but as Fziegler said this is a "trick", not something the Nord website has a direct link to so they definitely need to fix something... )

Your trick doesn't seem to work for me - I've always some instrument selected, can't get the page with neutral selection. This may be due to cookies or the like. Anyway...

There is definitely an error in those pages. Why to bother to make it instrument-dependent when the old harpsichord files should be possible to load in all their keyboards instruments. Or am I wrong?
