Royal Grand

Post by drama1 »

Well, never really looked into Nord because it doesn't offer anywhere near the features the Kronos does and the price is ridiculous, but their new Grand Royal piano is really taking it to a whole new level IMHO. Any idea what Kronos piano would be closest to this beautiful piano Nord has created?

I have this in my Nord Electro 5d and it sounds really good.
In my Kronos I don't think there is a piano that sounds quiet like that.
If I'm not mistaken it's a Yamaha Grand sample.
The Epic Grand is close but it's third party sample K=Sounds.

I've just bought a Nord Electro5HP 73 to go with my Kronos. The RD700 board is too heavy at 25kg (39kg with a hard case!) , but the Nord only weighs 11.4kg and is so neat.
I tried out the Royal Piano - might replace the Italian Piano with this.
