Nord Piano 4 Stage Piano

The fourth generation Nord Piano 4 combines greatly expanded voice polyphony, a premium Triple Sensor keybed and Nord's acclaimed Virtual Hammer Action Technology for the ultimate piano experience.

The Industry Standard Stage Piano Returns

Following on from the success of the Piano 3, the Nord Piano 4 evolves by adding brilliant new performance features like Seamless Transitions, Dedicated Piano Filters and Split Point Crossfades. Furthermore, with an expanded 120 voice polyphony and a double-fold increase in Sample Synth memory, the Piano 4 is fully equipped for both stage and studio.  

Like a truly flagship Nord Keyboard, the Piano 4 is broken down into three seamless sections. As well as a dynamic Piano section, you've also got a Sample Synth and high quality stereo Effects, modelled after classic stomp boxes. This allows you to re-imagine every sound from the Nord Library to your own tastes.

The end result is an elegant, live-focused keyboard with exceptional piano feel, courtesy of an 88-note Triple Sensor keybed (A-C) with grand weighted action. Seasoned professionals need look no further - Piano 4 has it all.
