Nord Piano 5 73-Key Digital Piano

The Nord Piano 5 73-Key Digital Piano is equipped with dual piano engines, dual sample synths, and twice the memory of the previous generation. With the combination of a premium Triple Sensor keybed and the exclusive Virtual Hammer Action Technology, the portable Nord Piano 5 delivers an exceptional playing experience.

Two Independent Pianos and Sample Synths

The Piano and Sample Synth sections of the Nord Piano 5 each contain two independent Layers. The two Pianos and two Sample Synths can be used simultaneously in a variety of split or Layer configurations. Combined with the versatile effects routing, a wide range of combinations can be achieved - from classic ensemble settings to rich soundscapes. The LED-equipped Level controls allow for quick and precise balancing of all Layer volume levels. A Volume Pedal and/or Sustain Pedal can be assigned to each Layer. 

Live Focused Design

The Nord Piano 5 has dedicated dials and buttons for full hands-on control during a live performance. Transposing, setting up a split point, or creating a layered sound can be accomplished instantly.

Seamless Transitions

The Nord Piano 5 features seamless transitions for glitch-free changing of sounds or programs while playing.

Our exclusive Nord Piano Library is regularly updated with new unique world-class sounds, and always free of charge. All sounds are easily replaced using the Nord Sound Manager.

Virtual Hammer Action Technology

The Virtual Hammer Action Technology in conjunction with the physical hammer movements delivers outstanding authenticity and dynamic response resulting in a keyboard action that handles dynamic playing with amazing control at any velocity level. The Triple Sensor keybed also provides authentic features like repeating a note without lifting the key completely to ensure the smooth repetitions and fluent transitions associated with an Acoustic Grand Piano.

Triple Sensor Keybed

The triple sensor keybed has added weight for improved dynamic control providing authentic Piano touch and feel. Each keybed is meticulously calibrated at the Nord factory to ensure an even response over the whole range.

Advanced String Resonance

Our unique Advanced String Resonance accurately reproduces the complex interplay of the piano strings and also adds the rich ambiance of a real piano when playing with the pedal down.

Nord Triple Pedal with Dynamic Pedal Noise

The Nord Triple Pedal includes Soft and Sostenuto Pedals in addition to a unique Dynamic Sustain Pedal. The Triple Pedal also enables our Pedal Noise feature that dynamically simulates the mechanical sounds of lifting and releasing the damper mechanism.

Creative Piano Filters

The dedicated piano filters provide an additional level of sonic control, accentuating softness, mid or brilliance for the acoustic uprights and grands. The electric pianos have tailored filters that even include emulations of the legendary Dyno preamp.

Soft Release

A Soft Release-mode adds a slightly longer release, more suitable for legato playing, emulating a looser damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.

Dynamic Curves

3 dynamic curves are available to suit your playing style, from heavy to light.

Sample Synth Section

The Sample Synth Section is based on an entirely new format and contains a wide range of entirely new sounds, such as solo wind, solo brass, solo strings, basses, guitars plus a vast collection of classic analog leads and basses. Included is also a selection of samples from the Symphobia and Swing! libraries by ProjectSAM. All sounds can be quickly replaced using the Nord Sound Manager . You can also create your own sample instruments using the unique free Nord Sample Editor software for Mac and Windows.

Effect Section

The Effect section has a wide selection of instantly tweakable high-quality stereo effects modeled after classic stompboxes. An effect can be assigned freely to any layer in the Piano and Sample Synth section.

Control Pedal

Connect an optional expression pedal for hands-free control of volume and effects.

Monitor Input

Connect a second Nord keyboard or any other audio source to the rear panel Monitor Input and play along a track without worrying about an external mixer or a sound system. The signal is routed to the main outputs and the headphones output.
