Hello!
Are there any way to import Sound Font files/samples to NS 3?

You can convert soundfonts to WAVs, then bring them into the Nord Sample Editor; then use the Nord Sample Converter to make it NS3 compatible. One thing to be aware of is that soundfonts can include multiple samples for a single note (I.e. Velocity layers), Nord only permits one sample per note ( single velocity layer).

As anotherscott says, let me add that to extract WAVs from Soundfonts without resampling them you can use a Soundfont editor or tool such as Extreme Sample Converter.

Thanks for answers!
But i guess you have to make new loop points of every sample, and map the samples across the keys all over again?
I don't normaly use SF2 files, but when i want to use custom samples in my Motif XF, i usually autosamling VSTis or other hardware with SampleRobot, coverting AKAIs with CDXtract or converting Kontakt programs. All to Sound Font. Thats bacause i can import SF2 with all its loop points, mapping and so on into the Motif XF format.
I guess it's not that easy on the Stage then :)
