strING rEsoNaNcE

For sounds that support this feature strING rEs can be activated. When active, notes that you 
play also affect other ”strings” within the loaded piano sound, making them resonate sympatheti-
cally with the played note, just like with a real piano.

MoNo

In MoNo mode all stereo sampled pianos will be played back in mono. the mono versions of our 
piano sounds are specially designed to provide the player with optimal sound and playing experi-
ence, even in mono.

KBd toUcH

How a piano sample responds to keyboard touch can be adjusted according to what fits your 
playing style, or the context which you are performing in. With higher KBd toUcH settings, less 
force is required to trigger high velocity levels and vice versa.

saMPlE sYNtH

the sample synth is a powerful addition to the Nord Electro 5’s organs and Piano sections. the 
internal memory can hold up to 256 MB of samples.the knob below the saMPlE display is used 
to scroll through the available samples. In places 99-159 within the list, samples are displayed 
using the numbering a0-F9.

New samples can be downloaded from www.nordkeyboards.com or you could create your own 
samples using the Nord sample Editor, also available from our website.

see the Nord sound Manager section for details on downloading and transferring sounds.

dYNaMIcs

With the dYNaMIcs function it is possible to select four different modes of velocity response. If 
this funcion is deactivated, samples will always play back at full velocity. When active, the three 
different settings will give you increasing degrees of dynamic range. 

FIltEr vEl

With FIltEr vEl a low pass filter is applied to the sample synth, which reacts to the velocity with 
which a note is played. Generally, this gives the sound a more dampened quality with low input 
velocities and a brighter character with higher velocity.

attacK, sUstaIN aNd dEcaY/rElEasE

another useful feature of the sample synth is the envelope section. With the attacK knob you 
set the time it takes for the sample to reach its full level, whereas dEcaY/rElEasE will let you 
adjust how quickly the sample fades after having been triggered. at 12 o’clock the sample is in 
sUstaIN mode - meaning that a (looped) sample will sound as long as the key is pressed. set-
tings past 12 o’clock determine how long the sample sounds after the key has been released. 

PErcUssIoN

the harmonic percussion feature is available in B3 mode. When switched on, an attack transient 
is added to the organ tone giving it a more percussive character. the controls within this section 
let you choose between second or third harmonics, slow or fast decay and soft or hard percus-
sion levels. 

B3+Bass

one of the features new to the Nord Electro series is the B3+Bass mode, which will give you the 
traditional B3 Bass tone wheels - 16’ and 8’ - in the left hand and a full B3 in the right. to enable 
this feature, select organ for both parts and enable KB split. In non-split mode the B3+Bass 
setting will behave as a normal B3.  

 l

the soUNd menu is home to some additional settings, relevant to the various features of 
the B3 model. see “sound” on page 16 for details. 

PIPE

another new addition is the PIPE organ model which uses physical modelling to produce a versa-
tile and carefully tuned principal pipe section. Its pipe lengths match those of the B3 tone wheel 
markings, also ranging from 16’ to 1’.  

vX

the tonal controls for the vX transistor organ model range from 16’ to Iv, including the funda-
mental and its octaves, as well as various combinations of harmonics. additionally, there is a 
drawbar for adjusting the sound character between a softer and a brighter (less filtered) mode 
represented by the sine and sawtooth waveforms.

the vX organ has three vibrato modes to choose from - v1-v3 - each increasing its rate and inten-
sity.

FarF

the FarF model is based on another easy-to-recognize transistor organ and has its drawbars 
labeled after the original Bass 16 – 2 2/3 tabs. In Farf mode the drawbars are configured as on/
off switches in order to match the original design. 
 

the vibrato/chorus options for the Farf model consist of four different settings, v1-v2 and c2-
c3. In this case all positions represent variations on the original vibrato model.

PIaNo

the Piano engine has a six-part type selector, each type containing a range of individual pianos 
and keyboard instruments, accessible with the selector below the numeric ModEl display. the 
Program area display will always show you the name of the currently loaded Piano sound. 

From www.nordkeyboards.com you can download any number of piano sounds you like - in ad-
dition to the ones that come pre-installed. Nord Piano library sounds come in four different sizes, 
letting you choose which range of features you want for each piano sound (see table below). the 
internal memory of the Nord Electro 5 can hold up to 1 GB worth of piano sounds.

 l

refer to the Nord sound Manager section for details on downloading and transferring 
sounds.

loNG rElEasE

the first option of the acoUstIcs section is loNG rElEasE, which adds a slightly longer release 
to acoustic and electric pianos. this can for instance be useful for acheiving a more legato char-
acter in your playing.
