Nord's cutting-edge sampling technology captures nuances and the authentic character of source instruments. The Piano Library memory is approximately 2 GB.

Sample Synth Section with Expanded Memory

The Sample Synth section features two new sample synthesis engines with expanded memory for sounds from the Nord Sample Library, including licensed sounds from vintage Mellotrons and Chamberlins, as well as from ProjectSAM Symphobia and Swing!
