Nord Triple Pedal (TP1) — Sustain, Sostenuto and Una Corda Triple Pedal
Nord's first-generation triple pedal: a dynamic sustain that supports half pedalling, a sostenuto pedal in the middle and una corda on the left. Comes with a non-slip rubber mat, for the Nord Grand, Nord Piano, Nord Stage and Nord Electro 7.
A pianist trained on a real piano expects three pedals underfoot, not a simple switch. The Nord Triple Pedal (TP1) is Nord's first-generation triple pedal: a dynamic sustain pedal that allows half pedalling, a sostenuto pedal and an una corda pedal, grouped on a single base, just like under an acoustic piano.
Highlights
- Dynamic sustain: the right pedal allows half pedalling, for measured resonance rather than all or nothing.
- Sostenuto: the middle pedal holds only the notes already pressed.
- Una corda: the left pedal softens the sound, like the soft pedal of a piano.
- Pedal Noise: supports the Nord feature on compatible instruments.
- Anti-slip mat: a rubber mat is included so the pedal stays in place.

TP1 or Triple Pedal 2?
Nord currently offers two triple pedals. The TP1, this one, came included with the Nord Piano 5 and the Nord Grand. The Triple Pedal 2 (TP2) adds continuous sensors and assignable functions, but Nord lists it only for the Nord Piano 6, Grand 2 and Stage 4, where it connects to a 5-pin DIN input. On the Nord Stage 4, Nord states that the TP1 connects to the sustain input instead, a ¼" jack.
