Nord User Forum

I am a quite new Nord Piano 5 owner, after decades of Clavinova and Arius units in my home. I could not he happier with the sounds I'm getting out of the Nord.

However, this week I had need for a harpsichord sound, and I couldn't find one. Some of the guitar sounds are pretty close, but nothing exact. Did I just fail to find it, or is that something I need to download?

Hi, there are a lot of harpichords on the Nord website

There are two harpsichords in the Nord piano library: one french, one italian. Both with different sounds: 4', 8', muted etc.: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/pi ... ategory=39

You may need to delete one of the installed piano sounds in order to install a harpsichord. Welcome to the world of Nord library sounds!

For those of you like me who may have overlooked it, it turns out there ARE three very nice harpsichords in the factory Nord Piano 5 library. They are all located in the Clavinet category.

I didn't figure this out until I had downloaded the 5 French Harpsichord samples, installed the Nord Sound Manager, and prepared to load them. I was surprised to see the "already installed" symbol next to three of them. I thought I had looked at every item in every category.
