Quality Pianos
The Nord Piano 4 comes pre-loaded with Nord's latest and best piano samples consisting of Grands, Uprights, Electric and Digital Pianos from the exclusive Nord Piano Library, all sampled using Nord's state of the art sampling technology to give you the real character of the pianos used. All the samples can easily be changed and replaced easily with the exclusive piano library software which is constantly being updated with the latest and greatest samples. New to the Piano 4 you have creative Piano Filters which allows you to accentuate softness, mid or brilliance on the sample giving you more tonal variety than ever before.
The "Grand" Feel
Just as with the Piano 3 the Piano 4 features Nords fantastic Virtual Hammer Action Technology which simulates the real hammer movements you would get in an acoustic grand to give you that ultimate grand piano feeling in a portable lightweight stage piano. This paired with the triple sensor keybed allows for precise, accurate playing, and maximum control at any velocity. The Virtual Hammer Action Technology also allows you to even create a note without fully releasing a key, allowing for very smooth repetitions due to the tone not being completely dampened between key strokes, similar to the smooth transitions you could achieve on a grand piano. The keys also have additional weighting across the full keybed to allow the key action feel as authentic as possible and are strictly calibrated to give an even response across the full range.
All the Effects you could ever need
The Piano 4 comes with 6 different effects sections for you to switch in and out as and when you need. In the first one labelled Effects 1 you have a choice of Pan, 2 Tremolo's, Wah-wah and Ring Modulator which can be switched on and off between the piano and synth section as and when needed as well as being able have full control over them with a control pedal. Effects 2 consists of 2 Phaser options, Flanger, 2 Chorus choices, and a new Vibe effect, you also have two selectable depths for each effect. The third section is where you have control over the Delay, the section gives you a blend knob between wet and dry as well as a tap tempo button to allow you to adjust the time of the delay for each track you play. The Fourth effects section is where you have control over the master EQ Which can again be switched on and off for the Piano and Synth section and consists of a Three band EQ and a sweepable mid knob allowing you to tweak your sounds to suit your personal preference. The fifth section labelled Amp/Comp is where you have control over the built in Amp sims where you have a choice of Twin, JC, Small, Compressor and a new Tube Overdrive effect, this gives you plently of options whether its to compress your sound or alter the output of the sound or add gain as you see fit. The sixth and probably most used effects section is Reverb, again with the dry/wet blend knob you have a choice of Room, Stage, Hall each with a bright variant to switch in and out as you see fit.
