Sample Instruments from Apple Logic Pro X
Hi Nord users!
I have a CD that I recorded which uses instruments from Apple Logic Pro X. For example: "Solo Star" and "Hovering Machine". The problem is that I want to perform these songs on my Nord Piano 2.
Is it possible to sample these instruments and export to .wav for use in the Nord Sample Editor and without recording every note manually at different velocities?

Re: Sample Instruments from Apple Logic Pro X
The sample editor can load wav files, so if you have the wavs, you can load them to produce a nsmp file.

Re: Sample Instruments from Apple Logic Pro X
So specifically, is it possible to automate generation of .wav files from a built in instrument in Logic Pro X? Those particular instruments don't have .wav files; I think they are synthesisers rather than samplers.Mr_-G- wrote:The sample editor can load wav files, so if you have the wavs, you can load them to produce a nsmp file.

Re: Sample Instruments from Apple Logic Pro X
I think what I'll try is to use these midi files and export to .wav: nord-user-samples-nsmp-samples-f14/nord ... t1179.html.phillip_lyznav wrote:So specifically, is it possible to automate generation of .wav files from a built in instrument in Logic Pro X?

Edit: I think one can also try this: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH13049?locale=en_US.

Re: Sample Instruments from Apple Logic Pro X
Update:
I created a .wav sample file for "Solo Star", but it doesn't really have the result that I desire. If I export the .wav with all the synth effects, then it doesn't really work well as a sampler. If I export only the synth basic and try to create delay effects and so forth on the Piano 2, the effects sound rather contrived and unlike the sound in Logic Pro X.
I think that without a Nord Stage or something like that the best option is unfortunately to use a laptop with Mainstage or something like that for a live performance. However, if I knew enough about synthesisers another good option would be to emulate these instruments from first principles in a peripheral divice (maybe a http://zynthian.org/ ?). It looks like one can see the base synth and effects in Logic Pro X—at least then I don't need my laptop and can pass the midi to something like a zynthian or any kind of midi synthesiser. The trouble is building these instruments from first principles!
