Pedal Noise with Triple Pedal
The Nord Triple Pedal (available separately as an accessory to the Nord
Piano 2 HP) offers an unprecedented functionality, with the addition of
a dynamic control of the mechanical noise during operation, and the
ability for you as a player to use half pedaling and “release and catch
again” techniques.
When the sustain pedal is operated on a acoustic grand or upright,
many different sounds are produced by the mechanical components,
several of the sounds can be reproduced by the Nord Piano 2.
The dampers are lifted from the strings when the sustain pedal is
pressed down, and a beautiful sizzle can be heard. When you remove
the foot from the pedal, the dampers are returned on to the strings,
which creates a different, muted type of sound. Since the Nord Triple
Pedal is dynamic, you can experiment with various forces in pressing,
and also in releasing the pedal. If you just slip your foot of the sustain
pedal, allowing the return spring to spring with full force, a noticeable
sound will appear.
The “floor sound” is heard when the pedal reaches the bottom of its
travel. You can experience this in isolation if you press down the pedal
completely, then lift it less than halfway back up and then press down
again.
If you lift the pedal and immediately press it down again, a very rich
sound will be heard. Another big sound is The Stomp, which requires
you to start with your foot above the actual pedal, in order to be able to
reach the high velocity that is required to get this sound.

The Pedal Noise features can not be used with a switch type
pedal.
