Nord adds new Grand Imperial piano to Nord Piano Library

Christmas comes early. As a gift to all our users, the Grand Imperial is now available in the Nord Piano Library. This new Grand comes in 4 sizes. The new size is the mighty XL, a fully mapped version with more zones across the keyboard than an American football field.

The Grand itself was recorded at the Swedish National Radio studio, with our proprietary methods.


What better way to get a taste for this magnificent sound, than to listen to Sebastian Örnemark performing a piece that is said to be composed specifically for this great Grand Piano, Jeux d'eau. The recording features the XL size and was made on a Nord Piano with String Resonance and Pedal Noise activated.

To create an ambient recording, the treble was cut by -5 dB, the bass was rolled off by -6.5 dB and the "Stage 1" reverb was added with a setting of "5", using only the Nord Piano's effect section. Dry demos are available on the Library page.
