The Real MC Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Not easily convinced as I have played Bosendorfers (the big Imperial Grands) and have heard many samples that call themselves Bosendorfers and are far from the real thing.

marino Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It's obviously a sampled Bosendorfer. But while it captures some of the character of the original, something is lacking. I don't know - So far, I have never heard a Nord piano sample which doesn't sound boxy and contrived to my ears. Maybe is their way of compressing the audio data, or... I just don't know. I had big hopes for the Bose, but it still has that "non-singing" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEB Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just a personal theory of mine, but the people who generally play digitaly sampled pianos, especially in an electric band setting don't really want an accurate sample of a Bosendorfer.

Tim Wood Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 To my ear- this is easily the best effort by Nord to date. I think this Bosendorfer is the closest to the real thing so far. There maybe some imperfections but to be honest I can't tell as I'm no expert- it just sounds fantastic. I've recorded Gymnopodie 1 and "Someone to Watch Over Me" and sound great which proves that it suits both Classical and Jazz. But we all obviously have differing opinions on what sounds to be a good piano. But I think Nord have given us a great Christmas present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeVtheRipper Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I dig it. It definitely isn't as nice as a Bosendorfer from Ivory or better yet Vienna Symphonic ::drools:: but it is great for Nord and hardware pianos and I don't think any of the current competition offers a Bosendorfer sample. While I agree with CEB that most users could care less about an accurate Bosendorfer sample, it is still a nice weapon to have in your arsenal, just another sound in the palate. I'd rather have that then a CP5 with ALL Yamaha sampled pianos. Me personally I am GASSING for the Vienna Imperial. That Bosendorfer library is amazing. Totally worth the $800. But I LOVE the sound of a Bosendorfer and I don't foresee ever having one, so for me it's the closest I will ever get. 1974 Rhodes, CP70B, Polivoks, Dominion 1, Behringer D, Mother 32, DFAM, MS20 Mini, Folktek Mescaline, Nord Lead 2x, KArp Odyssey, Jv1080, Digitakt, Hydrasynth, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'm enjoying it also. I have the old Stage Classic so I can't evaluate it with all the resonance stuff turned on. However this is the first new grand from them that I would leave loaded in place of the old fave Yamaha Studio Grand 2. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderSchoot Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi guys, I have a Kawai mp8 that triggers a Nord electro 3. With the possibility to actually create some usefull user velocity curves the result is pretty convincing. I tried a Nord piano several times in the store, but it didn't impress me like my own set up.(although I've been missing some resonance/noise features). The new Bosendorfer (I could only load the large version) is my personal favourite. Warm, but cutting through slightly better than the grand lady. I played along with my mp4 player and even with a low volume it was more pronounced than the other Nord piano's that I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ferris Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Before I sent my loaner NP back to American Music & Sound I wanted to check this new sample to see if it would inspire me to keep it and give them some money. I have to say after loading it in on Wed., playing around on it and comparing to my CP-5, the verdict is still the same. It was nice, bigger sounding then the Grand Lady D and more clarity then the Yamaha Studio Grand sample but in the end the whole playing connection/experience is not doing it for me for AP unfortunately. Like Carlo said, I can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't feel or sound right to me--especially after continually going back to the CP-5 has a point of reference, the NP is not even close really imo--at least for Jazz. Which is a drag because I REALLY wanted and tried to like this. It has that outstanding mono feature and it's the perfect weight/size. Like I said before a few times, if one of my main voices were the Rhodes, wurlitzer or Clav I wouldn't think twice about writing a check. But since none of those are a real high priority on my list, back it went today to AM&S. https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wood Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Gymnopodie 1 Someone to Watch Over Me These pieces were recorded using the new Bosendorfer sample. I think it sounds great but realise we all have different opinions on how a good piano should sound. These files are raw so maybe a bit loud through headphones. Someone to Watch Over me is a shortened Keith Jarrett version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBluesKeys Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Just got the small new Bosie installed on my Electro 3 - definitely a keeper - especially when I MIDI the PC3X to it and play it with a weighted board. Nice dynamic range. Had to lose the Bosie Upright (and replace it with the smaller Schimmel sample) to get enough room - now have 0.2 meg of free space.

Nillerbabs Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Today I had the opportunity to play the Bösendorfer in a trio/quartet setting. For jazz as well as funky rock, it just seems to kill. Sparkly while full and rich, stereo even through a pair of marginally decent PA speakers totally ruled. When in doubt, superimpose pentatonics.
