You do not specify which model NS2 you have, but I am assuming it's either the 88 or 76 with weighted action. When I play my E6D from a weighted action via MIDI the sound and sensitivity is very different.

Yes, I am comparing with NS2 88 with weighted action.
I will do the test and control the NS6D from the NS2 via MIDI... this gives more insights in the influence of the weighted action...

For a few years, I floated between NS2 88 and NE5 HP for gigs and the pianos sounded the same and felt the same.

Sorry, I was not precise: I run NS2 stereo to one Stereo-channel of the mixer and NE6D to another Stereo-channel of the same mixer...
Thank you for sharing your experiences with NS2 in comparioson to NE5

All the Stage-models have different charactheristicts in the piano-engine. Most likely due to different DACs and different velocity-curves.
That is more or less a natural development I'd reckon

Problem solved! The problem was sitting in front of the keys
I uploaded StudioGrand1YaC7lrg from NS2 - but that was wrong. I actually wanted the file BrightGrandYaS4lrg.
So I played the Bright Grand on the NS2 and the Studio Grand on the NE6. That's a world of difference in terms of brilliance.
Now I have corrected this and everything is fine! and as user abc said, the sound via the NE6D is even more brilliant than that of the NS2.
Many thanks for your contributions - and sorry to Nord and the NE6D for my false suspicions!
