Note: Due to the actual key range of the original
Piano instruments, the lowest keys may not pro-
duce any sound when transposed down. The
same goes for the highest keys when the instru-
ment is transposed up. For organ sounds, the
Transpose function will only generate notes that are within the 73-key note range of Nord Elec-
tro 2 73. This means that using the Transpose function for Organ sounds in Nord Electro 2 73
will cause the lowest or highest notes of the keyboard to be silent.

Some of the piano instruments sampled for the Nord Electro 2 have very wide dynamic ranges by nature
and naturally we wanted to capture this as accurately as possible. Therefore, it could be perceived that it is
a little hard to reach the most extreme levels when playing the Nord Electro 2 piano sounds with the de-
fault keyboard Velocity Sensitivity setting. This is because the dynamic response curves have been very
carefully adjusted to match each original instrument's response characteristics. In other words, Clavia's in-
tention was that when you play a Electric Piano sound, for example, it should almost feel like you are play-
ing a Electric Piano. However, If you want the piano sounds to respond more easily to keyboard velocity,
you can set this in the Config menu. The Velocity Sensitivity setting is global for all Pianos in the Electro 2.
