Nord has released updates to their Sample Library, adding Symphonic Choirs, vintage Bass Guitars and atmospheric Synth Pads.
They are available now as free updates:
- Nord Sample Library 3.0 – compatible with Stage 3, Piano 4 and Electro 6
- Nord Sample Library 2.0 – compatible with Stage 2/2EX, Piano 2/3, Electro 3/4/5 and Nord Wave
The only question I have concerns the USB type B connector. Nord’s site says its for USB-MIDI or sound transfer. IIRC, you have to load a flash drive with sounds from Nord’s site library and >then< install them in your Nord by hand. The onboard memory feels a bit limited when compared with the generous range of choices. It'd be great if you could stick a 500 gb drive in there and draw from it as if it was onboard. Anyone know for sure? Otherwise, any Nord is a smart buy. Remember when Derek Sherinian played four of them tilted way up on his stands so you could watch him play? Rockin'.
I like free.
