NS3 Fast Attack Issue

[Moochacha]

Hi there

Wondering if anyone can help me with an issue i'm having on an NS3 Compact, OS 1.32. I think I'm possibly making a silly oversight somewhere, but I'm having no success finding the answer by reading the manual or doing a forum/google search.

When I go to create a new Program from scratch and set up a sample on the synth section, I cannot seem to activate the Fast Attack. However, if I select a Factory preset program with the Fast Attack already activated (like D27 Mad Bass Split for example), I can switch the Fast Attack on and off without any issue. (This does not apply to Factory presets that contain a sample but no Fast Attack already activated).

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug??

Thanks in advance!

Actually, note a correction to what I wrote before - it turns out I can activate Fast Attack on certain Factory Presets with samples but not others... for example I can activate/deactivate it on presets D:26 & D:27, but not D:28.

Is it because only certain samples can have this feature enabled?

Not all samples contain the info needed to enable the feature.

Correct. "Fast attack" will omit part of the attack phase of the sample and start playing back at a predefined spot a little farther on (like skipping the initial swell of a violin sample).

If no fast attack start point has been defined for that particular sample, it's not going to be available.

Yes, you have to set the fast attack point in the Nord sample editor

Thanks for clarifying, great to know how to enable the feature in the sampler editor too. Appreciate you all taking the time to answer!
