About Nord Sound Libraries
The Nord products are designed as open systems, which means you can easily replace samples and sounds using the Nord Sound Manager. You can select from the continually growing Sound Libraries or incorporate your own samples using the Sample Editor. Nord Sound Libraries are available for free to all Nord users.
