Manufacturer's Description

The Nord Grand 2 features the latest generation premium Hammer Action keyboard from Kawai. Combining the responsive feel of an acoustic grand piano with our world renowned Sound Libraries and a tactile user interface, the sleek and elegant Nord Grand 2 offers a genuinely unique experience.

 The Grand experience

The Nord Grand 2 features a new and improved Kawai responsive hammer keyboard with triple sensors for accurate tracking of hammer movement. Maintaining the ease of use of the original Nord Grand while adding dual layers of Piano and Synth, the Nord Grand 2 offers great flexibility for performance and sound creation.

Performance

The Nord Grand features dedicated LED faders for each layer, as well as knobs and buttons for all essential functions required in a live performance. Performing tasks such as Creating Layers and Splits, adding effects or transposing the instrument can be performed instantly. The dual Piano and Synth engines can be combined in a layer or split across the keyboard. Each layer has a dedicated effects section.

Piano Section

The Nord Grand 2 comes with an extensive collection of Grands, Uprights and Electric Pianos from our exclusive Nord Piano Library combined with new features such as Dynamic Compression and Unison. Our state-of-the-art sampling technique captures the extraordinary nuances and real character of the source instruments.

Also included is a selection of samples from the Symphobia and Swing libraries by ProjectSAM. The Sample Synth section provides two fully-featured and independent Layers and is equipped with intuitive controls for attack, decay/release and dynamic velocity response.
