How to Rename/Convert Samples for Upload to Nord Drum 3p

Post by Jimmi Woods »

Hey All,

I'm trying to get my head around how to load my own samples on to the Nord Drum 3p using the Drum Manager. I've sussed out the basic part and have been able to upload kitbanks which was fairly straight forward. However
this maybe the dumbest question but how do you go about converting WAV files to .nd3_kitbank for use on the Nord Drum? I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks

Nord Drum 3P does not support using samples in general (neither factory or user), as far as I know and I can read from its specs and manual, it is a Modeling Percussion Synthesizer with multiple synthesis engines (see https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-drum-3p Sound Creation and Tone Section description) but no sample playback capability.

The Nord Drum 3P is a fully virtual-analogue digital synthesizer. You can create your own sounds, but need to put them together with the given waveforms & filters or resonant or FM synthesis. There's nothing to upload except what you created on the Drum 3P itself and downloaded before - or someone else.
