I am a quite new Nord Piano 5 owner, after decades of Clavinova and Arius units in my home. I could not he happier with the sounds I'm getting out of the Nord.
However, this week I had need for a harpsichord sound, and I couldn't find one. Some of the guitar sounds are pretty close, but nothing exact. Did I just fail to find it, or is that something I need to download?

Re: Harpsichord?
There are two harpsichords in the Nord piano library: one french, one italian. Both with different sounds: 4', 8', muted etc.: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sounds/pi ... ategory=39
You may need to delete one of the installed piano sounds in order to install a harpsichord. Welcome to the world of Nord library sounds!

Re: Harpsichord?
For those of you like me who may have overlooked it, it turns out there ARE three very nice harpsichords in the factory Nord Piano 5 library. They are all located in the Clavinet category.
I didn't figure this out until I had downloaded the 5 French Harpsichord samples, installed the Nord Sound Manager, and prepared to load them. I was surprised to see the "already installed" symbol next to three of them. I thought I had looked at every item in every category.
