PIANO
The heart of the Nord Piano 3 is arguably the Piano section which is activated or deactivated by pressing ON. When a Program that uses the Piano
section is loaded, the name of the active piano sound will be displayed in the lower part of the display. The LEVEL knob adjusts the volume of the Piano
section.
The PIANO SELECT dial is used for browsing and selecting piano sounds. Piano sounds are grouped in the following six categories Grand, Upright,
Electric, Synth, Clavinet and Harpsichord. The LED Selector indicates the category to which the currently selected sound belongs. To see additional
information about the selected piano sound, press and hold INFO.
KBD TOUCH
Pianos from the Nord Piano Libary typically have a very wide dynamic range, and their
dynamic response can be adjusted according to what fits your personal style or the con-
text of your performance.
The lowest KBD TOUCH setting (1) facilitates playing softly yet expressively. With each
increment of the Kbd Touch setting (2, 3) less effort is required to play loudly.
PEDALS
The PEDALS button controls which of the SUSTAIN and/or VOLUME pedals affects the cur-
rent Piano sound. Press the PEDALS control repeatedly to reach the desired setting, which
could be either pedal active on its own, both pedals active or both inactive.
M Refer to the Pedal section on page 15 to read more about supported pedals.
OCTAVE UP, OCTAVE DOWN
Use OCTAVE UP and OCTAVE DOWN respectively to transpose the Piano section in octave
steps. The available transposition values are dependant on whether KB Split mode is
active or not, and are defined to always give you access to the entire playable range.
ACOUSTICS
The ACOUSTICS section provides a set of features which help improve the realism of the
playing experience, by modifying the acoustic characteristics of the sound. Note that these
features are dependent on the type of piano sound being used as well as its size and
version. If an Acoustics feature is not supported it will not be selectable.
STRING RES
When STRING RES is active the sound is enriched by undampened strings resonating
sympathetically with the notes being played (referred to as sympathetic string resonance)
and by the ambience present when playing with the pedal down. The sound level of the
sympathetic string resonance can be set in the Sound menu, see page 15.
M See the Nord Piano Library Size Comparison Chart below for details on how String
Resonance is supported by piano sounds of different size.
