the Nord sample library is a broad collection of quality sampled sounds that cover most cate-
gories and instrument families, from vintage to modern and acoustic to electric.
l
all our sounds and samples utilize the lossless compression algorithm implemented in the
playback engines of the Nord Electro 5, making it possible to fit more sounds into the mem-
ory of the machine without compromising their quality.
