Overview
Not a one-sound keyboard, this Nord stage piano runs dual piano engines and dual sample synths from a Triple Sensor keybed. Virtual Hammer Action Technology shapes the response, and the body is finished in red lacquer.
The reason to look at it is the full range of notes combined with a connector set that suits a studio, from USB to MIDI sockets. The limitation is the shipping weight and the lack of listed speakers, pedal or stand.
Who it's for
Working pianists and producers who connect to a DAW, a mixer or an amplifier will use the connector set. Buyers who want a self-contained home piano with speakers should look at another listing.
Pros and cons
- Triple Sensor keybed
- Virtual Hammer Action Technology
- Dual piano engines and sample synths
- USB and 5-pin DIN connectors
- Speakers not mentioned
- Pedal and stand not listed
- Dimensions listed in conflicting ways
Performance notes
The keybed senses key motion at several points, and the hammer action technology sets how it responds. Dual engines and sample synths can be layered for fuller sounds. The USB Type-B port and the DIN sockets carry MIDI to a computer or other gear, and the audio outputs feed a mixer or an amplifier.
