Nord - Piano 6 88
The Nord Piano 6 88-key Stage Piano combines a Triple Sensor keyboard with Virtual Hammer Action for authentic touch. The Piano and Sample Synth sections offer two layers each, and independently assignable effects. Its robust design and included Triple Pedal make it an essential asset for stage and studio.
Presentation
The dual-section system, including two Piano engines and two Sample Synths, makes it easy to create multi-layered sound combinations or split configurations adapted to each musical style.
The keyboard, equipped with the Triple Sensor mechanism and Virtual Hammer Action technology, offers playing sensations very close to an acoustic piano while maintaining remarkable fluidity.
The 120-note polyphony in the Piano section is invaluable for performing nuanced passages without fear of untimely cuts.
The LED faders dedicated to each layer greatly simplify real-time mixing and make the interface clear even in a dimly lit environment.
The Advanced String Resonance realistically reproduces the harmonic interactions of a piano’s strings, while the included Triple Pedal adds an extra dimension, thanks to the subtle management of the Soft and Sostenuto pedals, as well as the Dynamic Sustain Pedal.
This accessory also integrates a pedal noise mechanism, mimicking the mechanical resonance felt on a real grand piano. The compact and robust chassis makes it easy to move around on stage, and the overall weight remains moderate for an 88-key heavy action.
The available effects (reverb, delay, modulation, etc.) are easily assigned independently to each section, which enriches the sonic palette and encourages musical exploration.
The configurable splits offer smooth transition points, supporting live program changes without breaking the sound.
The large OLED display provides a quick overview of the parameters, while the meticulous manufacturing in Sweden by Clavia DMI AB completes the high-end DNA of this instrument.
