Looking for Strings / Piano and Strings / E.Piano

Postby Angelo5000 » 04 Mar 2022, 07:10

Hello Colleges, I'm new to this forum and I have been searching for a good layered Strings/Piano and Strings/E.Piano .nsmp for my Nord Electro 4 and I can't find them. I have a gig next week and really need them. Please help me out. :roll:

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

A few questions if you don't mind?

Are you familiar with the Nord Sound Manager? Are you familiar with the samples already on the Nord web site?

If you can provide a description of the sound, or (ideally) a link to audio with the sound you are looking for, it will greatly help.

I would guess there are many hundreds of "strings / piano and strings / e. piano" samples and programs on this web site, in addition to what Nord provides. There are lots and lots and lots of choices.

Thanks!

hi, Yes I'm familiar with the Sound manager and Yes I know about the samples on the nord site. To be specific I'm looking for layered Strings-Piano and Electric Pianos that I can't find.

Hi Angelo,

are you new to your Nord? As far as I know, the Electro 4 only has two engines: piano and organ. Which makes it a great instrument, but limited to the 'pure' sound of those two sections.

You will find great EP sounds, AP as well, but there are only very few 'layered' sounds from Nord, because the strength of the Nord sounds is lying in their pureness. There is only this as layered sounds: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... ballad-ep1

Layering is usually done by combining the existing engines on your Nord. As you don't have a synth/sample section on your board, you might try to get closer to what you are looking for, if you try to combine piano + organ. Or you try to connect a computer to add that strings sound (via MIDI/audio interface). That's all you can do.

(see below: look for user generated content with layered samples)

The electro 4 is able to play samples from the nord library, but this function is not easy to find if you don‘t know the instrument. It’s hidden in the piano section where you choose the piano models, it‘s the point SAMP LIB.

I once had the electro 3 where it was the same.

Angelo,

beside a very warm welcome to this wonderful forum of nord enthusiasts I‘d recommend that you register to the user sound forum as well
https://nordusersounds.com/
to get access to all the „homemade“ piano-string-layers that there may be on earth.

In my Mainstage time I used the native Strings for layers. Worked very good.
You can find the raw wav's somewhere on your mac if you have Mainstage or Logic installed.
Just drag them to the sampleeditor and loop them.

Perhaps not as good as the bigger libraries, but works great behind a piano.
I reduce the velocity response and map the level to the modwheel.
This way I can dynamically play the piano and strings will just follow without dynamics.

Because of copyright I most likely are not allowed to share my nsmp file.
