The Nord Grand 2 88-Note Kawai Hammer Action Keyboard with Ivory Touch is a high-end digital piano designed for professional musicians. It combines the industry-leading feel of a Kawai acoustic grand piano action with powerful sound libraries and versatile effects, creating a unique and satisfying playing experience.

The Kawai hammer action keyboard provides an authentic grand piano feel, with responsive triple sensors that accurately track every keystroke. This allows for nuanced and expressive playing, essential for pianists of all levels.

Advanced layering and splitting capabilities allow you to combine two independent piano layers with two sample synth layers for rich and complex sounds. Individual split points with crossfades create seamless transitions between different zones on the keyboard, allowing you to create unique sonic combinations.

The Nord Grand 2 comes with a large collection of meticulously sampled pianos from the Nord Piano Library. This includes a wide variety of grand pianos, upright pianos, and electric pianos, all captured in stunning detail. These sounds provide exceptional realism, allowing you to recreate the sound of classic instruments or explore new sonic possibilities.

The sample synth section features two independent layers with expanded memory, offering a wide variety of new and updated sounds. These include classic instruments like strings, brass, and wind instruments, as well as vintage synths and other electronic sounds. New features like Unison, Tru-Vibrato, and Round Robin help create expressive and natural-sounding tones.

A powerful new effects section per layer provides modulation effects, reverbs, delays, amp simulations, and more. Explore new reverb options like Spring, Booth, and Cathedral, a dynamic Spin effect, and an improved Delay with filter, flam, and ping-pong options. These effects allow you to sculpt your sound and create a professional polish.

The Nord Grand 2 includes additional features designed to enhance your playing experience. 120-voice polyphony ensures that even complex arrangements play back without dropped notes. Dynamic compression and unison allow you to shape and enrich your sound, while advanced string resonance and dynamic pedal noise add realism to your piano performances.

Dedicated LED faders, knobs, and buttons provide intuitive control during live performances. Six live slots allow you to save and recall your favorite sounds for quick access. The Nord Grand 2 also supports the Nord Piano Monitor for enhanced stage monitoring, and comes with a Triple Pedal 2 for realistic piano sustain control.

With its exceptional playing feel, powerful sound libraries, and versatile effects section, the Nord Grand 2 88-note Kawai Hammer Action Keyboard with Ivory Touch is an ideal choice for pianists and keyboardists who demand the best in digital piano performance and sound.
