Is there a way to make a sample in which you can use velocity dynamics? I once made a piano sample, but I didn't like it because I didn't have velocity dynamics.

Hello Len,
yes, for the Electro 3.
The NE3 has a quasi-velocity control for amplitude, and/ or filter, and/ or attack time.
Obviously you can't do any velocity switching of samples, but with the right combination of amplitude and filter control, it makes for a fairly playable piano.
This has to be activated for the sample in Nord Sample Editor (NSE)

Thanks!

Hi,

The "Velocity Controlled Dynamics" work on Nord Stage 2 too

It's only the checkbox that is specific to NE3, as stated in the manual :

Vel Dyn Enabled :
Check this box if you wish to have the velocity sensitivity turned on in
the Nord Electro 3 as the default setting when the Sample Instrument is
selected. This function is not available in a Nord Wave.

The big question which I'm not sure has yet been answered... does it work in Stage 3?

On the Nord Stage you don't need that, because you can use the Velocity Dynamics controls of the synth section
