I also own a Nord Electro 2 61 and the piano on this was totally unuseable for me, if you took the sound of a steinway, delivered it through a long metal tube and added a sawtooth or two, then this is what I heard hoarse metalic and caustic. I can just play and play and play and play you can fall in love with such sounds. TruePainos is also pretty good at stacatto and trills. I find that it captures to my ears the way a string vibrates rather than some sort of artificial algorithm, a held note evolves in a natural way. The second vital thing is its natural tone. What do I like about TruePainos? Well the most important thing to me is that it responds like an acoustic instrument it has sensitivity. I spent 4 years of my life playing a Bosenforder 225 and even longer on a 290 (Imperial) and I actually believe that Nord have done an extremely good job of creating a facsimile of the real deal. The realism that I hear when I play the NP88 with the Bosie XL sample in it is remarkable.

I've heard this time and time again, and I think it says a lot about how 'free' players feel from the constraints of software pianos / VST's and technology and can just focus on playing and creating. Have you played any of the Nord piano samples? If so, what did you think of them? There is something that I'm hearing a lot from Nord users that is what piqued my interest - everybody talks about how easy it is to consider the Nord keyboards as instruments and how much one can connect with them when playing. Up until they released v 1.91 of the software, it was really only average as far as a piano sound goes, but the latest version of it has certainly brought it up to spec. I'd have to agree, that TruePianos is pretty good, but to be honest, it's not in the same league as even my 4+ year old RD700SX, let alone a Nord Stage 2 - not yet at least. Having said that, Ivory-II, EastWest, Garritan etc etc make for fantastic listening when played back - but there's usually a lot of work that goes on in the studio to make them sound so good.

Although I don't yet own the NS2, I have spent many hours on the Nord Piano 88 which uses the same samples for it's piano sounds, so I think it's a fair comparison.Ĭan you define what you determine as making the NS2 as 'Good' as TP? What is it about TP to your ears, that makes it so good? Also, are you talking about how good it is to "play" or are you asking about how good it is to "hear"? Playing any PC based piano solution is going to be considerably different from playing a Rompler or decent Digital Piano, and I'd have to suggest the latter would completely hose a PC based solution for real-time playing. I have both TruePianos and Pianoteq as well as a Roland RD700SX and very soon, a NS2. It's like a real piano just powered by electricity! My advice try it. In addition NS2 has string resonance, pedal & damper noise. I was also worried about the low polyphony on Nord for the piano section.there are no polyphony issues, I don't know how they do it. I played the Kronos and wasn't convinced.had never played any Nord and took a stab in the dark based on the samples I heard on their site. I was deciding between the Kronos and the NS2 for piano, rhodes and organ sounds. I say all of that to say, the Nord Stage 2 with the current selection of piano samples is the first hardware synth where I feel I can plug it up and get a TOTALLY authentic piano and Rhodes sound whether live playing or studio recording. Mostly because I am a trained and seasoned pianist/keyboardist and I need(ed) the sound that was the most authentic and inspiring to me.(I play on a Bosendorfer Imperial and Steinway D more than 3x a week!!). To make matters worse I would use Rhodes sounds from Komplete and Electric Keys also. Nord (earlier models), Fantom, Motif, Korgs.you name it. Quite honestly I used Ivory 2 and Ivory original when recording any piano sounds because I always felt the piano sounds sucked on ALL hardsynths. I used Ivory 2 for recording and live performance when I had my Fantom G8 because I was not satisfied with the piano sounds.
I chose the NS2 primarily for it's excellent piano sounds. I'd have to also agree that taste is something personal, BUT. Here though, I am talking of comparing the best with the best Well it is - to a degree, but not wholly, everyone can tell the difference between a Joanna and a Steinway and the early piano synths (by which i mean everrything up until a couple of years ago) were very synthetic and a pale comparison.
