NEW Request for Piano 5 Test

[WannitBBBad]

A new Nord Stage 4 owner has found that the vibrato works fine with Nord factory samples but won't work at all with user-created samples.

I would appreciate someone with a Piano 5 confirming the vibrato works in the cases where:
a) Nord Sound Manager 7.70 converts a user-created NSMP or NSMP3 sample to NSMP4 format when loading into your Piano 5, and
b) a user-created NSMP4 sample (using Nord Sample Editor 4.20) is loaded into your Piano 5

We're trying to narrow down if the problem has to do with the apps, or the Stage 4. Below are two small sample files that can be used for the test. Thank you very much.

for a)

B3 888000000 NL Mono.nsmp

Hammond Sample with No Leslie Effect added - saved in NSMP format

for b)

Hi,

I've just checked it and loaded both files into my Piano 5. Both files work fine and sound identically, both without and with Vibrato.

But "sound identically both without and with Vibrato" makes me think that actually the Vibrato is not working, even when enabled on NP5 (or am I misunderstanding?)

In other words, taking just sample (a), is applying Vibrato generating an audible difference (the vibrato) compared to the same sample (a) without? Sorry to ask, just not clear to me.

Sorry, I probably worded it in a misleading way:
In NP5 I could upload both files without problems and they sound there as they should. Both sound identical without vibrato and both sound identical with vibrato, i.e. the vibrato DOES work in both cases perfectly and exactly as with samples from the library.

So, among other possible bugs, a) NSM 7.70 won't convert a NSMP file to NSMP4 format for the Stage 4 (but will for the Piano 5), and b) the NS4 synth vibrato does not work with user-created samples, no matter if they are converted to NSMP4 format or created in NSMP4 format.
