Hi,
I'm not sure if you experience this or not, but especially when played from C#5 to F5, it sounds like C#5 sample was stretched to F5... like a plastic sound there :-/

What sample size are you using? Only the XL sample has a fully mapped keyboard.

Hi Vicky,

Agree! In my opinion, all the Nord Grand Pianos do the same. Natural decay is too quick. Some sound like a banjo in this key range!!

Did the XL sound better to you?
I'm curious about this myself. I've only had my NP5 a couple of weeks and have not yet tried all the different pianos or sample sizes. Once I find a few favourites I plan to load only the XL versions, if it even makes a difference to my amateur ears.

Even the XL version sound like a banjo...too bad, not only for the Royal Grand 3D, but even for some other pianos.

Perhaps I’m deaf, but I don’t hear a significant difference between the notes you mentioned and a couple of notes above and below. Of course, each octave has its "character", but playing chromatically up and down in this zone sounds to me quite homogeneously.
