Introduction
Thank you!
We'd first like to thank you for purchasing the Nord Piano 2 HP . Our
goal when we developed the instrument was to create the best profes-
sional, very portable stage piano with an integrated sample synth on
the market . We hope that you will have as much fun owning, playing
and using the instrument, as we had developing it .
About this manual
You are probably very eager to start using your new instrument, and we
sure don't want to keep you from having fun . We will try to cover all the
essential aspects on how to use the Nord Piano 2 HP in the very first
few pages of this manual . After that follows the reference section where
all the functions are explained in detail .
OS and internal memory
The operating system, programs and pianos in the Nord Piano 2 HP
are stored in a Flash memory . A Flash memory is a great thing, it retains
the data when the power is turned off . Another big advantage is that
you can replace data in the Flash memory at any time . This means that
you will be able to download upgrades, pianos and programs to your
Nord Piano 2 HP from a computer . The Nord Piano 2 HP features a
USB port for quick and easy download of new pianos and samples .
Nord Sound Manager
The Nord Sound Manager is a computer application that allows you
to organize and change the sounds and memory content in the Nord
Piano 2 HP . This easy to use application is included on the DVD that
was delivered in the box with the instrument . Read more on how to use
the Nord Sound Manager in chapter 8 in this manual .
Factory programs
The internal program memory of the Nord Piano 2 HP consists of 240
programs, organized in 2 banks A & B, each with 24 pages with 5
programs in each page . There are also five Live buffer memories, which
will continuously store any changes as they are made .
All of the 240 programs in the Nord Piano 2 HP can be used to store
your own settings . To make sure you don't accidentally overwrite
programs you want to keep, it's a good idea to regularly back up your
sounds on a computer using the Nord Sound Manager application .
Restoring the factory content
The factory programs, samples and pianos are available as Nord
Sound Manager backup files for download at the Nord web site at
www .nordkeyboards .com or on the included Nord Piano DVD .
OS upgrades
The latest OS version for Nord Piano 2 HP is available for download at
the NordKeyboards .com website . Please visit us on the web from time
to time, to make sure you have the latest version in your unit .
Free sounds
Since the Nord Piano 2 HP is designed as an "open system", each and
every piano and every sample in the Nord Piano 2 HP can be replaced
by you . This is done using the Nord Sound Manager application .
The Nord Piano 2 HP is compatible with the continuously expanding
Nord Piano and Nord Sample Libraries . Many of these sounds are
included on the DVDs that accompanies the Piano . When new sounds
are available, you can download these for free from the Nord website .
Yet another good reason to visit the website from time to time .
