Synthesizer Nord Piano 2 HP is, above all, a convenient and compact stage electronic musical instrument. Its special feature is in the availability of Nord Triple Pedal as a separate accessory, which allows the instrument to accurately simulate the performance of this acoustic piano pedal, as well as in the inclusion of the Advanced String Resonance function to reproduce the effect of “weak strings” sound. The noise pedal gave the instrument a distinct hissing sound.

The instrument comes with a set of sounds from the Piano Nord library (a unique library of instrument sounds from Clavia Nord). All sounds were recorded using unique sampling methods. The uploaded Piano 2 samples also have the option of replacing them with new ones or created by the user. An additional set of sounds is available on the free DVD which comes with the kit or on the manufacturer's website in the Nord Piano Library section. The very work with sounds is easy, thanks to the editor Nord Sound Manager for Mac and Windows.

The extensive effects section allows you to instantly alter the sound of the instrument: Pan, Tremolo, Stereo Auto-wah, Stereo Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Delay effect with four-level delay with feedback and tempo control; 3-band equalizer with a range of adjustment +/- 15 dB; six reverberation algorithms and many more.

The keyboard of the Nord Piano 2 HP included 73 weighted keys produced by Fatar and has the Virtual Hammer Action technology, which allows simulating the movement of hammers as in an acoustic grand piano. Also, the split keyboard function for working with sound layers became available. Despite the primary manufacturer of keyboards (Fatar) - all keys are re-calibrated at the Nord plant to ensure a even response within the entire range.

Clavia Nord Piano 2 is the second generation of stage pianos. Nord Piano 2 HP model developed on the basis of Clavia Nord Piano instruments provided its users with more features, effects, and functions.
