Yeah, I'll second that, although that does make the library a little top-heavy in favour of the old Steinway pianos. That said, they're still beautiful sounding instruments.

Seems Nord's focus has been very much on the EP side of things recently, so almost anything will be a welcome addition to the acoustic part of the Piano library.

"Soft White"?
Is the variation of "White grand" sound hidden under this name?

"Modeled"? You mean they sampled it, the Nord Piano engine "model" is still the same for all .npno sets.
In any case, let's just wait and see, hopefully it shouldn't take long until they will publish this new one on the Nord Piano Library.

Sampled.

That is the most specific term, and it refers to relatively well-known procedures.

It has the advantage of explaining what happened.

Modeled is also specific, but is not what happened.

Most of the other words are value-loaded and does not explain what happened at all, or only vaguely and much less specifically.

But I guess you mainly wanted to voice an opinion?

So, silly post, but in trying to predict when the Malmsjo (?) grand might show up, I noticed that the last two summer piano releases (Silver and Amber) appeared on July 1st and July 4th, respectively.

So I'm averaging them and taking Tuesday, July 2nd in the pool. If I'm right you owe me a Coke.

It's not a Malmsjo... 8-)
SampleTekk has a piano also called "White Grand", it was released some 15 years ago, and that is indeed a Malmsjo. But this one isn't...

I choose to think the Nordies saw my post, and knowing Coke is unhealthy, and thinking of my welfare, decided to move the release of the sample to today. You can all thank me at your leisure.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
