I've just downloaded the "ROYAL GRAND 3D" library and installed it on my Nord stage 2 and I have some sound issue with that library. I would like to know if you hear it too.
I hear strings buzzing from that library on the notes C# and D on the 5th octave when I play these notes strong with high velocity. Do you hear that too? it's very annoying for me to hear that every time I press on these notes and I can"t understand how Nord publishes a library with a sound bug like that on their library.

It's probably because the sampled piano sound like this... Nord tries to faithfully reproduce the small issues a real piano has. That is what makes the sound more alive.

If you don't like it, you can try the L instead of the XL version. The L version is usually a bit cleaner. If you play the L now, try the XL where problematic tones won't be stretched to neighbors.

Thank you for your answer!
I also tried both, L and XL. the record is from XL library. I hear that on both libraries

Not sure this is what you're hearing, but if you listen closely to the piano samples, you can hear the imperfections. I sort of like them -- just like the real thing!!

I think this is just a natural part of that piano's sound... If you're used to the much cleaner pianos from other brands it can be a shock at first if you try and isolate individual notes like this, but when played as an instrument this gives a lot of character. I find most other brands have samples that are too perfect, almost lifeless in many cases. I know some people prefer that, but I'll take the Nord samples any day. Plus, if that particular sample bothers you, there are lots of others to try!
