Built for playing
A virtual piano that feels ready to perform
Expressive dynamics, three real pedals and a clear console — so you write music instead of fighting menus.
Songwriting & production
Sits in a mix
A present, detailed grand that cuts through a vocal and a band without EQ surgery. Load it as a VST3, AU or CLAP plugin in your DAW.
Live & rehearsal
Plays like a stage piano
Seven velocity layers, string resonance and half-pedalling respond to a weighted controller the way a premium stage piano does.
Practice & composing
Open it and play
On Mac, the standalone app needs no DAW. Plug in a MIDI keyboard, or play from your computer keys when you're away from one.
Stage-piano realism
The sound of a premium stage piano. On your laptop.
If you love the detailed, present sound of hardware stage pianos like Nord, Nexo Piano was voiced for you. Seven velocity layers, string resonance and three real pedals — played from the MIDI keyboard you already own, for the price of a plugin.
Hear the instruments- 01
Seven velocity layers
The flagship grand changes colour as you dig in, not just volume — the way a real hammer does.
- 02
Sympathetic string resonance
Undamped strings ring along with what you play, the bloom you hear on a real grand with the pedal down.
- 03
Three pedals
Sustain with half-pedalling, sostenuto and soft pedal from any MIDI controller, with natural note releases.
- 04
Your touch, your curve
Set the velocity curve and dynamic range so a light controller or a weighted stage keyboard both feel right.
- 05
Stage effects built in
Reverb, three-band EQ, tremolo, chorus, phaser, flanger, delay, drive and compression — no extra plugins to chain.
- 06
Real drawbars
Nine drawbars on a generated tonewheel organ: every stop is the actual harmonic, not a crossfade.

Software vs hardware
Stage-piano sound, without the stage piano

FAQ
Questions, answered
How realistic does Nexo Piano sound?
The flagship concert grand has seven velocity layers on every key, sympathetic string resonance, natural note releases and full sustain, sostenuto and soft pedals. It is voiced to sound like a premium stage piano: present and detailed enough to sit in a mix, and expressive enough to play solo.
Is Nexo Piano a good alternative to a Nord stage piano?
If you love the sound of hardware stage pianos such as Nord but want it on your laptop, Nexo Piano aims for that same realistic, playable stage-piano character in software. Play it from the MIDI keyboard you already own, at the price of a plugin rather than an instrument. Nexo Piano is not affiliated with Nord or Clavia.
Does Nexo Piano run on Windows?
Yes, as a plugin. On Windows, Nexo Piano is a VST3 and CLAP plugin that you open inside your DAW, such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One or Bitwig. There is no standalone app on Windows.
Is there a standalone app?
On Mac, yes. The Mac installer includes a standalone app that opens its own audio and MIDI, so you can play without a DAW. It also installs the AU, VST3 and CLAP plugins. The standalone app is Mac only.
Which plugin formats are included?
Mac: standalone app, Audio Unit (AU), VST3 and CLAP — so it works in Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig and more. Windows: VST3 and CLAP.
