My suggestion to you would be to temporarily downsize the Imperial and then substitute the White Grand for the Italian. I would predict that you will end up replacing the Italian with the White permanently without looking back. Only my guess. The Italian and White are in similar territory sonically, but the White is more better.

Does anyone know why the white grand is not supported on all instruments that supports version 2 of the sample format? I see no technical reason why. I guess Nord just want us to upgrade to a newer instrument, but I'm happy with my Electro 3. If this is about making money I would gladly pay for new samples.

Who knows? They may decide to release a version 2 sample format at some point.

Too many velocity layers is my guess. That was the big difference in the new e-pianos (apart from supporting the filters), as well, which required the firmware update to the Stage 2, Piano 3, and Electro 5.

White grand - this time at Electro 6D:

Yes, good idea, thanks, And easy to do, I don't have that much programs the Italian, but I like its "thinner" sound do karen to the Imperial in some songs/situations.... When you say "more better", what do you think about? Why? In what sense? I have a stage 2, not the EX so, Imperial L and White L would fit in?
I don't need much the XL for the imperial, I decided on it when Imwas practicing a lot of Jazz solo act and classical but I'm in a Funk/Pop band now so, I should not here that much difference in my programs right?
Let me know, Friday is my "practice my own parts/adjust and program your sounds" day so, I will do it...

Imperial L and White L would fit, depending on what else you have loaded (Uprights, PEs...) but for pop/jazz you may even go just with the M sizes, if you need space, I don't think you will miss the sympathetic resonances in the highest/lowest registers and you save quite some Megabytes


For example, at the moment on my NS2 I have Bright L + White M and Silver M + CP80 in the Grand partition, Black M and Rain M in Uprights, all non-amped EPs in their smaller possible size, (except EP2 Lrg), the 2 DX7 rhodes, Clavinet and 3 Harpsichords. It's my compromise between breadth of choices and quality

Well, I still like the sympathetic resonances, I put them almost all the time....I have no Upright....and one harpsichord I think....
Ok, good advices, definitely in my Griday to do list, thanks again....
